Just so the Newbies know...what the Consulate wants...for the interview

From the Romanian finace'
Passport
Birth Cert.. Translated if in Russian
Police Cert.
Court and Prison if the Police report shows it
Military cert. if you were in it
Marriage Cert.. It means..to show if you were married and if you were if your divorced
up to 8 passport photo's for the consulate and medical exam.
I-134 from Petitioner
Medical exam
Evidence of Relationship...
Any of the cert. that aren't in English or Romanian need translated to one of these..

Petitioner
I-134
Notarized Copies of Tax return (1040) for latest year which at this point could be 2005 or 2006... I used H&R Block..and my Bank notarized them..
Statement from Employer on Company Letter head.. showing salary and the length of permanency of employment
Statement from Bank Officer on Bank Letterhead showing bank account number...Date account was open and present balance.. I also included deposits year to date.. just alittle icing

Thats it... from the Packet 3...

Also if your not in Romania but your interview is there...start checking into the Visa requirements...that came into effect Jan 1st 2007....


The bottomline here is read the instructions/guide here on what is required for proof of relationship... don't try to get by...use the old moto.... "Better Safe Then Sorry" bury them with paperwork/proof... add icing onto everything... Don't take chances with your future and your SO....

i totally agree with this. i had waaay to much evidence than needed, organized very nice, and 2 photo albums. they ended up asking me 4 very simple questions, and that was it! so it definatelly helps to have more evidence than less.

Yes Veronica just had her interview.. they were impressed with the way we laid it out....

I think it was 4 questions for her to..Something like

Where did you meet

What attracted you to him

Has he visited you..

and another one I can't remember.. Actual the Interview was the easyist part of this complete process.. At least for the Romanian Consulate...

I tried to edit..Some went wrong...here is my edited version:

Yes Veronica just had her interview.. they were impressed with the way we laid it out....

I think there was 4 questions for her to..Something like

Where did you meet

What attracted you to him

Did he send you gifts..

Has he visited you..

Actual the Interview was the easyist part of this complete process.. At least for the Romanian Consulate...

I'm sure we over did it...But why waste your time in supplying "Just Enough" and who knows which consulate interviewer you will have...the easy one...or the a$$hole... So I'm a firm beleiver in bury them..then there isn't a question because they are all answered..

Plus we looked at the list of questions you find here at VJ... and we went over most of them...I send her a copy of the list I found of possible questions...and I put the answers next to them.. So she could study them..

Hey why walk into the interview unprepared when you have all the information here at VJ...use it..learn it...you have some months to be ready for each process...study..ask questions..My Moto is..."Better Safe then Sorry"

I'm here and I can answer questions for People going to the same consulate....and general questions from others...
