So just to clarify, she will indeed need to print off our entire packet because they don't have it in the system? We didn't make a copy of it and all passport stamps, pictures of us, family & friends together, etc. were all sent off with the original application.

If you sent it they have it.  

 

If you sent it, organize it by time/ relationship milestone where it can be easily accessed in response to a question and bring it.

Embassy has your original I-129F petition.  

 

If you don't have a copy of what you sent to USCIS may I suggest that you complete the i-129f section (BIO) relating to you and email that to your fiancee as it will have much information that will be of value.

Good morning everyone. 

My fiance's interview is tomorrow and she has the tendency to ramble when under pressure or to just talk a lot and I'm kind of afraid for her as the embassy I'd assume wants very cut & dry responses most of the time. 

What are some tips to deliver concise yet informative answers? How can she be successful in her interview? 

Yes, many are right,  I say don't supply answers to questions that were not asked.  Example:   IO:  "Where were you when you first met in person?"  "  Oh, we were at this nice restaurant for breakfast,  Wow, they served a great Bagel with  Cream cheese on it.  It would have been nice if the table was not wobbling.  I almost spilled my beer. but that's fine, I could just order another beer for breakfast"..   A better answer would be "At Chucky Cheese on 34th street"...

Please tell me you actually met your wife at Chucky Cheese.

I swear that I was in the process of making the EXACT thread on Saturday morning.

 

My fiancée started rambling, volunteering information, giving answers with poor body language, had sweaty palms, and looked like she was the guest of honor at the Nuremburg trials...…..and this was at her medical appointment when the doctor asked her about a Varicella shot.

 I hopI hope this helps:

 

I went through customs this morning and overheard an interaction with a CBP officer that went TERRIBLY wrong.

It wasn't a fiancée visa interview....it was just a guy who was trying to get back into the U.S. 

 

My observations:

 

1.  The US Citizen had an air of contempt in his body language and voice, like he was offended that the CBP officer dared to ask him a question.

 

2.  When asked the purpose of his visit to the country that he went, the US Citizen said he was "just visiting."  The officer asked who he was visiting, and the guy changed his story and said that he was there for work. 

 

(Shark.  Blood.  Water)

 

3.  Having heard two different reasons for the visit, the CBP officer went ALL IN and started asking rapid fire questions.  The last thing I heard, the CBP officer was asking the US Citizen how much money he brought back with him and asked him to show it. I'm pretty sure that the US Citizen had to go through 'secondary screening."
