Our interview is today...i'm going crazy right now ....my stomach is turning, i can't eat, can't work...OMG. I've never been so nervous in my life. I don't know what to expect anymore from the Consulate. A few more hours to go.....OMG...OMG...

GOOD LUCK!!!! Take a deep breath... you are prepared as you'll ever be. Again, best of luck. Here's hoping for a positive outcome.

Good luck

All the best

Good luck to you and your SO with the interview. Waiting the months for the process is bad enough. The few hours up until the results are the worst.

Good luck! She will pass

Good Luck

thanks everyone...i am anxiously awaiting the results...walking around the house and driving myself crazy. I just can't help myself. The countdown begins...............

Hope things go well!

best of luck man!

Best of luck to you both, tway22!

THINK PINK!!!

I'm devestated right now. My wife just called me....they said they need records of the plane ticket purchases..which is the the package(evidence) and they need a written timeline of our relationship.....What does this really mean? Any input?....I'm lost and confuse right now.....

Hang in there buddy, the exact same thing happened to my fiance's interview. PM me your email so I'll send you the "sample/form" of the timeline relationship that ME gave me. I hope that you purchased your airline tickets by credit card, or some type of paper trail that showed you bought the ticket. Fedex that those 2 required documents to your fiance and everything should be fine. Good luck. PM me.

try to get a copy of your credit card statment when you paid for the ticket, you should be fine with that. then just write a time line about how you met her and how you stayed in contact with her. i wrote mine by hand with details and dates our my relationship. you will have to get it notarized too. i just worte mine on a legal pad. make sure your timeline has the right dates for the events they asked her about. my fiancees first interview they asked for a timeline and more evidence, i sent the timeline and more emials and phone records then we got a blue slip, we just forgot to include the 2nd copy of the DS156. after she turned that in we got the pink. think positive! just tell yourself "okay they just want to know more about us". make sure to proof read your time line sevreal times.

It means should be a simple overcome and not much delay. As was written get the copies of receipts for tickets and fed-ex them over. Then do a handwritten timeline of your relationship,make sure all dates and events match. Then notorize and send also.
The handwritten timeline is being asked at all consulates lately.Do not panic or worry, Pink will be there soon

My wife actually has all the credit card statements of the airline purchases. I have all the paper trail. I believe only one ticket was purchased with a check which she also has the bank statement stating which check it was. She offered it to them, but they said just hold on for it until she sends in the timeline letter. They want it notorized which I will get done ASAP. They also asked for names of relatives in the US, which she also has copies of. The asked for the same information for our K-1 that was denied. Is there a time period that we should wait before submitting the paperwork, or should I do it ASAP as soon as she gets the stuff required? Thanks.

Call the airline and ask for a reciept also. They should be able to email it to you. They may put up a little resistance (they did with me). INSIST! I told them (United) "Fine, Vietnam Airlines is opening direct routes to the U.S., so I'll use them from now on". That did the trick. The receipt should look like this:

Dear Valued Customer
Thankyou for choosing United Airlines
As per your request for the copy of the receipt

ASAP is best. The blue slip should have further info on it as to when they want it submitted and how.
From what I have heard on the relative information, it doesnt hurt to have copy of their drivers license and such. The more detail the better.
Sorry to hear it didnt go as planned, but will be easy overcome. Good luck with it

We have all the information from the previous interview. They asked for the list of relatives. We have everything imagineable about her only Aunt, her husband and children from Birth Cert, to passports, to Driver License. From what my wife says, the interview went quite well, suprising that the interviewer and translator were really nice in their tone of voice and such. The asked her many many questions. She made a list of exactly what was asked and her answers..there were a total of 50+ questions asked. Good thing we went over everything imagineable. I just put together our timeline and I am getting it notarized tommorrow and will send overnight to my wife. Soon as she gets it...she will then submit it ASAP.

Best of luck and try to stay positive! We had a similar hiccup in our process: they wanted a few more bits of evidence as well as a timeline. However, once we submitted everything they asked for we got the visa on the second interview!

tway22, sorry about the Blue slip.

Read the slip carefully so you don't miss anything. I sent everything they asked for, according to my SO. She failed to mention that they wanted more evidence also. The request for additional evidence was stated very poorly on the slip we got. By the time I got the Blue slip sent to me, it was too late. She already went back to HCM.

I read the blue slip over and over again. They are not requiring any more proof of relationship. In fact, they actually return some of our evidence back to my wife, like some emails, letters, employment letters, etc. They only kept a few as they said that is all they needed and we can keep the rest. Just got my timeline notarized and will be sending it tommorrow.

Your wife will get pink slip after she submits your timeline. Good luck to you.

I hope your wife will get pink as soon as the notarized timeline has been turned in. Good luck and keep positive!

Sorry to hear about your blue slip. The good news it sounds like they just want the extra proof in order to give you the pink. Get it there ASAP and Good Luck.
