I could really use some advice

[*****S*D***** 0]

From what I have read usually when a U.S. spouse goes to the interview with their spouse. The interviewer usually targets (I say targets because they usually ask the U.S. spouse most of the questions). My predicament is...They usually ask about the job of the U.S. spouse. I have been receiving SSD since 1999 and they know this. This is why we have a joint sponsor. So, if they ask me if I'm going to go back to work. My answer to them is...SSD has a ticket to work program and can send me to a vocational school to train me for a job. It's a trial and error thing. This is what I want to do. But it's trial and error like I said. I printed out information on these two things but due to the interview coming up soon I won't be able to start this process until we come home. If anyone has any advice on this subject please feel free to give me your opinion. Thank You in advance!!! Good Luck on your Visa Journey!!! Also any input on what else I should take???

I don't think you will have a problem at all with it, SD. Just be honest with them. If and when they do ask you about support of your husband in the US, tell them that you are on disability as of now, but you do have a cosponsor and you have plans to go back to school in the fall. Look at them in the eyes and be straight forward. Really, they are not there to call you a liar or lazy or anything like that.

I doubt very seriously if they will ask you for proof of the schooling you are planning on doing, but they may ask you what line of work are you planning on going to school for.

Give them just enough information to show you are being honest, but you don't have to give them your life story. Plus they are doing so many of other interviews they don't want to hear your life story.

I was just as worried as you are right now before the interview, and trust me, I have a tendency of talking somebody's ear off when I am nervous! Just take a deep breath and you will do fine! Go in as a confident, self assured woman, smiling and looking straight at them and they will see that you are being open and honest about everything and it will be fine!!

Good luck!!

It's best to be as prepared as possible, but I wouldn't worry TOO much about this. When I petitioned for my SO, I wasn't working either - I had income from another (private) source. They are only interested in your being able to support the beneficiary. If you're asked about work, I would recommend definitely mentioning the ticket to work program. If you have a start date, that would be good - then you can tell them not only that you're planning to do it, but you can tell them when you start. I wouldn't say anything about the "trial and error" part of it. No need to bring attention to that. Really, NOTHING is guaranteed - no job, business, anything. I think they realize there are no absolute guarantees - they're just looking to make sure that the person coming over is not LIKELY to become a public charge.

Best of luck!

i think as long as you have a co-sponsor it should be fine. and hopefully your spouse will get a job and work too. you could mention that.

Take anything and everything you can think of even if you think its something not needed. Certified divorce papers, birth certificates for you and him and any children either of you have, your marriage certificate and marriage certificates of any previous marriages, phone records, text records, chat logs, all photos you have together and with family and friends, proof of marriage party, cv/resume for both of you, proof of your disability benefits and medical proof of your disability, any proof of plans to attend schooling, boarding passes, iteneraries, passport visa stamps and entry and exit stamps.. seriously, anything and everything even if it seems not necessary because the one paper you do not take, will be the one paper they ask for..

I have been through 2 interviews there at cairo( my husband has) first interview they put us in AP because they wanted his cv and a certified copy of a previous marriage i had, he had his cv there. and Second interview they put us in AP because they wanted a copy of my babies birth certificate, i was pregnant when we met and we married shortly after delivery and we made sure they knew that the baby was not his, it was my ex husband but they still insisted on the birth certificate. so i submitted that and a paternity test cause i know that would be the next paper asked for... Still waiting

Be completely honest and organize the folders so that you know exactly where to find all papers and same with photos, organize them so that you can open right to the photos you want to show them. Always show a document or photo along with your answer if you have something that pertains to the question they are asking.

Most of all, good luck to you!!!
