I will have to add, if I had been present for her interview, we would not have this delay. The Consulate Officer would have had me there to answer any questions he had. I did send the notarized statement today, I don't care much for delays. It is advisable for Fiance's and spouses to attend interview if there is any way possible, it will help to eliminate any possible delays and help keep the poor ladies calm. :thumbs: But I am happy, at least she did get her approval and not an assignment to the AR dungeon. :yes:

I agree! :thumbs: My fiance was with me at the interview. They asked him more questions than me.lol But those were all easy questions though, like how we met, when, where, how many visits, what's his job and where. We gave them a clearbook of photos, and one folder of snail mails, snail mail receipts, emails, ecards, chat logs, voice call logs, and video chat screenshots. All of it were colored photocopies except for the chat logs(message archive screenshots). They just scanned it and never really read it and the consul gave it back to us (2 folders). :thumbs:

hello VJ members,

i just had my interview yesterday...they gave me pink slip to pay Delbros...congratulated me by the consul.. but I haveto submit first notarized acknowledgemet letter from my fiance regarding my childrens before they will realese my visa...my interview took long time about 45 min its because the consul asked mostly about our emails He reads our emails one by one and asked me questions based on what he reads. believe me there were many emails.He even asked where my fiance get his neckname and mine too...He asked about my kids,pictures of my kids togethr wth my fiance..i was not able to give to him because they dont have pictures togethr..then he look at his appliaction and found out that he did not put my daughters there so He asked acknowledgemnt letter coming from Him...My pre-screener is nice to me and the consulate officer but He is strick in some ways...I thank you to all VJ members who help me how to get passport specially to Jen and Larry...and some who is just there always prepare replies to all our questions..thank you very much and to all who will have thier Interview soon...be sure to know all the details of the supporting documents that you will submit ..like emails and chat logs.. good luck to all

I had a 4 year old daughter from my past boyfriend. Her name was in the application although my hubby and I haven't talk of petitioning her, maybe when I get adjusted with the place and get a stable job, that's when the time, But for now, Its only me. My hubby knew everything about her, my past etc. My question is, what could be the best answer if the consul ask why my daughter is not coming with me. Plus my daughter and hubby don't have pictures together.

Would it be a problem? or a lot of people do that?

Coz I'm thnking its really hard to moving from one country to another> I need to adjust first with the country and with my hubby. We want to enjoy each other's company, and I want to work
