Interview tomorrow

Last december I cancelled plans to travel home to spend the holidays with my wife. I had all the time of the world because I have been unemployed (at least officially) and was willing to use some of my reserve money for it. Then wife said it wasn´t a good idea and that we had to wait and save money we would need later. I-130 was approved late december, so I figured the interview would come around may. Of course I had joined VJ by then and found out about Jame´s Shorcut. I saved about a month avoiding S N A I L mail. I also made plans to be with my wife at the interview, but unfortunately it won´t happen.

I´m still regrouping myself after trying to move on from this job I had for five years. Things didn´t work out as planned and it´s basically a day to day situation now.

My wife will go tomorrow at 8:00 am to the USA Consulate in Managua for her interview. We spent a few hours on the messenger reviewing all possibly questions they might ask, specially my financial situation. I have been told by an Consular Officer that since I already submitted I-864 to NVC, my wife doesn´t need to present it at the time of the interview. I´m hoping they won´t inquiry throughly on my current situation. Althought my wife will answer everything honestly, they would not have any proof on paper. At the worst case, they might require about a second sponsor.

I organized a binder with selected e-mails, greeting cards, money wires receipts, phone bills, phone cards, airline tickets stubs, and of course wedding pictures, ( 8 of them) as before our marriage. We don´t have many photos before getting married. Before we got engaged, I traveled to Nicaragua 3 times, spent 2 weeks on every stay, but my wife is not camera friendly and when someone tried to take photo of us together she would reject to. The few we have, are because I begged her to, and I wasn´t thinking of a possibly interview at the USA Consulate. Anyhow, if their objective is to establish that the relationship is legitimate they have all the evidence in the binder.

I told my wife to get a good sleep tonight and to eat well tomorrow morning before heading to the Embassy, they might make her wait all morning there, as I have read in some Consulate reviews.

Blanca Perez, the Consular Officer in Managua, whom I have been keeping contact has been outstanding with information and advices. I wish she would conduct the interview, but I understand that is the consul or vice consul who do this.

I´m confident everything will be fine. I appreciate all of your good wishes and as soon as I can I will post a review.

-Justo.

All the best tommorow!! You guys are well prepared and she will do fine. We didn't need the I-864 form on Thursday. The guy didn't even ask to see the binder cause we were well prepared. So you are all set!!

Let us know what happens :)!

Good Luck tomorrow. You are well prepared for the interview. I don't think, they will ask her about I-864. So don't worry. Please keep us posted.

Last december I cancelled plans to travel home to spend the holidays with my wife. I had all the time of the world because I have been unemployed (at least officially) and was willing to use some of my reserve money for it.
