Have k3, going back to consulate for 130 interview??'s

[CiCi&DonJuan 0]

Good evening!!

My husband recieved his K3 visa last november, and has been living with me in NY ever since.. We waited to be married for 2 years before filing for AOS, and at the same time, we recieved an interview date for his I130- CR1 interview in Ciudad Juarez. Although it seems like we will be spending un-necessary money, the ends wil benefit more than the means.. and we will be returning to the same consulate for this interview on October 5th.

My questions are,

- In the interview letter we do not have a medical exam date. does this mean that he does not need to repeat the exam, since he had one done less than a year ago? We recieved "packet 4"

- If this is a mistake, can he get his med exam done in nYC before the interview?

- I paid $380 way back last August before the case got forwarded to the consulate, (it was sent around the same time as the aff of support, the ds230 etc..) Is this the VISA fee? WIll I have to pay any other fee when my husband has his interview?

- DOes anyone know if there is any reason they would ask him to return ( the interview is on a friday) on monday for further interviewing, or what have been your experiences timewise inside the interview?

Any and all information, advice regarding my quest would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you all so much..

The exam shouldn't have to be repeated as it was less than a year ago. If I were you, I would contact the consulate to be sure.

Yep, the $380 you already paid is the visa fee, and if you have to pay anything on the day of the interview, it would only be the mailing costs for the passport and visa to be sent to you.

I can't answer confidently on your last question, but from reading other experiences, he wouldn't be asked to return for further questioning, but it seems he'd either be approved the same day or it's possible he'd be asked to send more documents/info by mail first.

Good luck!
