The exam is valid for 1 year, though the closer to the interview the better, this will avoid having to do a new medical for AOS in the event that AOS happens more than 1 year after that medical.

VJr's, Since we are on the topic,

Khurram or anyone else, How recent should the statements, job letter, etc be. Proof of assets also include 401k monies????....Correct?? The employment letter I got was before my wife rec'd her packet, so should I get another one made, also should I go ahead and send her my original paystubs? See, I plan on sending one last $$$expensive, fedex packet to her and want to make sure I got everything.

Also, Khurram, what type of letter from a bank are you referring to?

Well, I wonder if you can just print out "online statements" and have the bank stamp them or something.

Is it normal for ISL embassy to give out interview date after 3 months?

Or is it for K3 visas only?

I am expecting my wife's case to be transfered there early Aug, should I expect interview date for December?

K3 is usually 3 months. Our CR 1 was at embassy in August and interview was 6 months later for December. Hang in there everyone.

Is that true? I have seen post here who have Interview dates assigned 2 to 6 weeks after their case completes at ISL embassy.

Can someone else share their experience please. Thanks

Really? 2 to 6 weeks? May be K1 or probably K3, not CR1.

HI DUDE Wala

See, I plan on sending one last $$$expensive, fedex packet to her and want to make sure I got everything.

This is what I included

 Bank Letter with Bank Statements

 Job Letter ( Issued 30 days before the interview)

 Copy of Tax returns -2004-2005-2006

 Pay Checks (showing paychecks ending a month before the interview)

 Tax Transcripts -2004-2005-2006

 401k Statement ( I included it for my assets/stocks)

 Citizenship Certificate (I have seen some people being asked for it so I included it)

Also If you will put down you life insurance as an asset make sure you attach the proof of that as well.

Also, Khurram, what type of letter from a bank are you referring to?

Well, I wonder if you can just print out "online statements" and have the bank stamp them or something.

Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions where you have deposits, identifying the following details regarding your account:

1. Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year;

3. Present balance.

Keep in mind if your income for past 3 years is above the poverty line, you wont need the bank statement.

You provided 2 of the following, (1) Tax returns and (2) Letter from employer, along with I-134 nothing else in needed.

Also tax transcripts are acceptable and recommended in place of copies of 1040, and W2 forms, the transcripts are free from the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

Hi datasheet, did you ask the embassy for an earlier date on the interview or are you letting it ride?

Yes, I asked embassy for earlier date but did not get co-operative response. I called them twice and talk to the same person, I think she is Pakistani-American and does not have control over anything, she told me that some officer has to look into my case and decide, when to decide, she does not know and told to call back after one week.
