Help - interview in 2 days!

[Blitz 3]

I already sent a PM to someone about this, but I'm getting more worried by the second. My interview is on Thursday. After we submitted the final forms to NVC and received our interview notice, I had a baby (Feb 1). Before I came to Montreal, I printed off a new DS-230 but the reason I did that was to indicate that I had been denied entry to the US a the border (which also happened after we submitted the final forms to NVC). I did add my new son's name to that document as well; however, I did NOT print off a new/updated I-864 form for the interview!!!

And I'm now freaking out that I will be asked for it b/c obviously my husband's house-hold size has changed (plus one)! We have a co-sponsor (because my husband was a student at the time of application and is still looking for work), so I know that my new baby does not affect my co-sponsor's house-hold size. But it does affect the I-864 that my husband filled out.

I don't know what to do - I can prob fill out a new one, print it off at the hotel, fax it to my husband, get him to sign it, and fax it back, but that's just about the best I can do. I can't do the same for my co-sponsor as she's not available right now.

Oh man, I hope this isn't going to be an issue. I hope I can just get by on the forms I submitted to NVC (that include all the supporting documents, which I also don't have). I feel so nervous and unprepared. Ugh. Thanks in advance for the help/advice!

First, congratulations on your baby:) . Second, good luck at the interview .

Go to the interview with what you have. Circumstances have changed since you filed and ideally, if you were able to have the amended I-864s ready, you would present them. Since your co-sponsor isn't readily available right now and your husband's would have a faxed signature (you could bring that one all the same) it will be up to the interviewing officer if they will require new forms or additional documentation. Although it would be frustrating and a nuisance, the worst that is likely to happen is that they will give you an RFE for the updated documents and defer a final decision on your application until they receive the new updated documents. You will be given a time frame by which you would need to provide them there and once you provide the updated information, then they should be able to approve the application and issue the visa.

The best that could happen is that they accept what you already have, recognizing that the financial situation of the co-sponsor satisfies the new criteria and approve the application.

Do the best that you can do under the circumstances and within the time frame that you have. Try not to worry too much. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you.
