Timeline

I'm the petitioner. We have our AOS interview in June and they sent us a checklist of stuff to bring. I have a few concerns and questions:

1) Medical Exam and Affidavit of Support - it says "unless already submitted" - that means they have this right since I sent all that in with the original package for AOS?

2) Evidence of relationship - What do you recommend? I do have her on utility bills but we just got her social security number so she's not officially on my bank account or lease yet - though her maiden name is on the lease. More pictures? Sorry, a little lost here.

3) I tend to freeze up when I'm nervous - it's a natural reaction. I don't want to accidentally answer a question in a way that they would deny our case and like, deport her or something. Any advice on how to handle questions about our relationship?

4) I got 2 raises at my job since I submitted the affidavit of support - I'm still way over the minimum amount but not sure if I need to bring more paystubs or something.

5) Any other advice you can offer would be great.

Hi skooter85 :)

Same here we'll be having our interview this June. I think it's a normal reaction to be nervous as we are too :) Based on what I read, I think we have to just bring all the evidences that we have or a copy of the same AOS package that we sent just to be sure. What we understood, we need to bring at least 2 months recent pay stubs so I guess what we'll bring is the month of April and May pay stubs.

We hope we can get more responses on other VJs too with regard to their interview experiences. Best of Luck to us and God Bless us :)

Best advise is to breathe ?

Most people that I know that did AOS in the states told me that it's nothing like what's advertised on YouTube or other resources.

Normally the officers are cherpy people and arnt there to make you feel uncomfortable. They have all your evidence and all they want to know is that it's correct.

Relax and just take your time there's no rush to answer questions. ?
