Wassup VJer's!!!!

I have two questions.

It appears, my fiance, who has an interview on Sept 7th, is worried about our address. I currently have my parents address as the place of rescidence when she does arrive here. She does not think this is suitable for the manila embassy. She thinks that the embassy will look at it as "why doesn't he have a place of his own?" I have mortagage approvel paperwork for buying a house. I dont like to rent at the moment, because it's like throwing my money away, plus I want to wait until I she comes, so we can pick a place of our own. Must I, have an apartment on my own, so I can present to the consulate? This shows that I am not dependent on my parents, so we can support ourselves. I just want to ask for any advice.

Lastly, If or when do i receive my interview?

Thanks.

Go Cubbies!!!!!

Why would the consulate care if you plan to live temporarily at your parent's house and how would they know it was your parent's house? You are required to prove that you can support your fiance -- you are not required to prove that you can buy a home for her!

You don't have an interview!!!

You might want to review the K1 guide to better understand the requirements and process.

What's with the sharp remarks?? (!!!)

I know this. I know this. I keep telling her, it's not going to make a difference. It's just that so many things are playing in her head, I just wanted reassurance that I was right!!!!!!!

On the first question, I'm currently living with my parents and that was marked down as my chief residence. At the interview they didnt ask if I owned a home. It's more important that you have the financial backing to support your fiance. So yeah, you guys should be alright.

I can't help you on the second question though. Check the VJ timeline forum for more info.

Good luck!

Not meant to be sharp - just straightforward. Just trying to help you to think logically i.e. how would they know it's your parent's house? Maybe you want to show your fiance the K1 guide so SHE understands as well and doesn't get overly concerned.

Kitkat1 has some good advice. Owning a home is not important as long as you can make enough income (25% above poverty level) to support your fiancee. USCIS and the Embassy do not care that you live in an apartment, with your brother or with your parents.

I think you have some good ideas about waiting to buy a house so she can have a say in it. Sounds like you need to convince your fiancee they are good ideas too, and calm her down a bit.

After your petition lleaves the NVC, it should get to Manilla. If they are similar to New Delhi, they will issue Packet 3 to your fiancee. After she follows the instructions and sends back the required documentation, then they will schedule and Interview and let you know via packet 4. This process takes from weeks to months, depending on the Embassy.

Best of luck!

Thanks, guys....Yeah I need to calm her down.

Where you live is completely immaterial! Not owning a hone has nothing to do with any of this. You are fine! The only thing that matters is that you can prove you can and will support your fiancée.

See bszoom - I told you you were my favorite! (bats eyelashes!)

ur fiance is just anxious about the interview but it wont matter wether u live with your parents or not. Just prepare the documents needed and answer the questions on her interview. tell your fiance not to worry much.

Good luck to you guys.
