Hello, 

 

I have just received the visa interview notice, I'm kinda nervous for it now haha. Would someone be able to let me know what actually happens at the interview? What gets asked etc. 

 

Also, am I missing anything from my checklist?

 

  • Passport
  • Birth Certificate
  • Marriage Certificate
  • Police Certificate
  • Two colour passport photographs
  • Medical Exams
  • Confirmation of DS-260
  • Interview appointment letter from the National Visa Center (NVC).
  • Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States. (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or legal permanent resident card).
  • Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (for example, photographs and letters).
  • Financial evidence showing your petitioner’s income, such as federal tax returns or forms W-2.
  • A signed Affidavit of Support from your petitioner and any additional financial sponsors who submitted a Form I-864.

 

 

Tomorrow i'll be scheduling my medical exam in London!

Thanks, 
Chad

People write reviews. London ones are here. https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=United+Kingdom&cty=&dfilter=5

 

Find the ones for your type of visa. A K1 interview might not be exactly the same. But all reviews will indicate it's nothing to worry about. 

 

You won't need:

  • Medical Exams (That goes by courier from clinic to embassy)
  • Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States. (That's for a joint sponsor's I-864, not your wife's. They know already from her petition file which they will have)
  • Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (for example, photographs and letters). London never asks for that of anybody.

I had my interview last month.

Took me 30 minutes. I had everything you’ve listed but CO only asked me for :

 

• Original birth certificate of me and my husband

• All my original police certificates.

 

I had about 230 pages of documents but I only had to show those listed above .. 

as long as you know you’ve got it all you’ll be fine. Be attentive and positive. Good luck :)

Wow, 230 pages is a lot. ill try take as much as possible, rather too much than too little. 

 

How do you know if you need to do the courier thing. I see some people doing it, but i haven't been told to do it as far as i'm aware. I received my appointment letter by email.

My folder was quite heavy but yes definitely better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

Don't know if it's necessary at your embassy but in addition to photograph and letters I would include proof of ongoing relationship [example chats and call history]

You're getting many suggestions but you need to do exactly what London wants you to do. It is different in every country.

 

London has instructions on their website. READ THEM.

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/how-to-apply-2/

 

Scroll halfway down and do what it says after

Case processed by National Visa Center (NVC)

 

You will be better off reading all the links London provides concerning your interview than wasting time printing out photos, love letters, and chat logs.  Nobody needs that stuff London. If you read the interview reviews, you'll get a sense of what happens. 

 

Don't forget to read the links for 

 

Medical Examination

Required Documents

What To Expect At Your Interview

Processing Times & Return of Passport

Entry into the United States
