So - what's the low on the "perfect fool proof" interview packet. Sach- what do you have lined up?

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

been having alot of drama in my life the last few weeks so I have been a little distant from the computer

I have some questions... I believe that I have asked them before... so I will apologize in advance if I aggervate anyone..

My questions are.. Now that we have the interview date, we called the Embassy and they said that they would mail my Hubby a package... what is going to be in this package? Has anyone recieved a package from the Embassy yet?

Also.. I am confused.. in the NVC stage I paid an $400 IV fee that I thought was for the visa, but, the embassy told my Hubby that he would have to pay another $400 for the visa at the time of the interview... is this correct?

As far as the VFS is concerned.. I thought I read some where that someone contacted them and they told them what to send them... I am soooo confused on this... what and why would I send them anything? I emailed them, and I got a nasty email back that said to contact the Embassy..

I feel like I am sooo behind.. I havent had the mental strength to deal with anything lately, the only thing that has been acomplished is Hubby has had the medical... Plane tickets and hotel reservations made.. Put in a notice to work for time off.. and that is about it... I still have to organize all of our evidence to take to the interview.

They probably didn't receive your actual package yet, you are CR1 applicant, and they give you information based on K1. Why do you even have to call Embassy for? You do not need to call them.. Just attend the interview with your evidence.

[mrs. wife! 3]

Melody, I think Sachi will be able to explain to you since she is going through the same.

In Brazil we dont have to send anything else, just show up at the interview with 2 passport pictures, passport and medical.

But it seems in India you have to send a whole package with updated forms to a place called VFS. Wait til she comes back and hopefully she can explain everything to you.

Or even send her a PM.

Good luck dear!!
