I want to first extend a HUGE thanks to Ling Ling and Nimche for their wonderful short cuts for the NVC.

My husband had a K3 visa interview on December 11th. Our CR1 papers arrived at the embassy the following Monday, December 15th. With the help of the wonderful staff at the Consulate in Barbados, he was able to return to redo his fingerprints for his CR1 instead of his K3. While our CR1 appointment was scheduled for January 13th, he was able to pick up his visa this afternoon.

Better still, he's flying here tomorrow!! What a wonderful Christmas Present!! :blush:

Hi,

I am very happy for you! Great Christmas present!

I am worry about that, because we have only 2 photos and spend only 1 week together.

Does he has to print all our emails and chats?

Thank you.

Thanks. I went with him to the K3 interview and they didnt ask for any photos or emails or anything. But I think that has more to do with me being there than anything else. I'd suggest that you send your husband all the proof that you can gather. If at all possible, I'd suggest attending the interview with him. Best of Luck!!
