Hey all,

while we are eagerly waiting for the NOA2, we're busy prepping the forms for the interview.

I do have a small question though.

From what I have read, we are going to need 2 I-134 forms. One from my fiancée, and one from a co-sponsor.

Does anyone have any experience on how the US Embassy in Brussels reacts to co-sponsorship? I've heard that certain embassies do not accept it, and other do.

Just looking for some first-hand experience.

Thanks.

You are almost there and now you have to deal with the embassy. This is the place to post your experiences or questions related to this last step before moving to the US. Topics relating to I-134's, packets sent from consulate and medical & police certificates should be posted here.

Uhmm, so yeah, any other Belgian Citizens moving or just moved to the States that could share some experience?

Just curious as to how the US Embassy in Belgium reacts to co-sponsorship.

I just wanted to say Hello BaWa as I'll have the interview also in Brussels, but I know nothing about the co-sponsorship as it's not our case.

Still I have another question: do you know how the interview appointment works? Do they phone to set the date or do they send a letter?

Hey Stepha,

glad to see fellow Belgian citizens going through the same process.

From what I've read about the Embassy in Brussels, the interview can be scheduled either by Appointment Letter (Packet 4) or by phone with a confirmation email afterward.

See http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...mp;cty=Brussels for some additional info.

Good luck,

--BaWa
