Going over other peeps interviews will definitely help.

Main thing is her knowing EVERYTHING possible about you. Right down to pets names, your mothers maiden name, siblings names, kids, why you divorced etc. This will help give her confidence.

Each CO has different trips to establish you have a bonafide relationship.

Having varied and good pictures may limit what they ask as the old saying!

"A picture is worth a thousand words" holds true.

I've seen where MANY peeps mentioned the CO "liked" looking at the pics!

Same for us also.

First time around we were outright denied for lack of enough pictures.

Second time we had 40 on 10 pages with captions.

Interview only lasted 5 minutes and she flew outa there a few days later.

My wife didn't know one question the CO asked about me and she just answered ! I don't know, and he moved on.

Thanks, I liked reading this post; made me feel a little better with my own stress over the whole situation.

My fiancee has around 500 pictures of us with about 50 different family members over the 5 weeks that we spent together in Vietnam. She has enough pictures to keep them occupied for a couple of hours. :D

I'll pass this on this on to her and hope that it helps.

Also let her know that they may not even ask for a single thing. I was pretty disappointed because I brought so much relationship evidence to my interview with me and they didn't ask for one single thing! All they asked for in one window is the affidavit of support, police clearance for my country, bank statements, tax returns, employment letter, birth certificate .. and that's all i can remember for now. But like i said, when it came to evidence, not a single thing!

After finishing up with that "window", I sat back down and waited to be called to the next window (you go to different windows) for my "interview". The guy who interviewed me simply asked, "So, are you ready to go and get married?" I answered "Yes, I am." Then he said okay, you're approved. Mind you, I was a nervous wreck that day! I got so scared and nervous for absolutely NOTHING. Believe me, I know exactly how your fiance feels. She will feel so relieved once she gets there and sees how simple it is.

Make sure she has copies of EVERYTHING because some of the documents will be needed for AOS. I did not make copies of all my documents (i didn't know) and had to use the copy machine in the lobby which charged .25 cents per copy. I did not bring my wallet with me so a few of the others who were also getting interviewed gave me change! LOL
