well,in our embassy I CANNOT EVEN GO INSIDE WITH MY HUSBAND ON THE DAY OF INTERVIEW... and i am a petitioner! Just him!!! They also stated to send only his civil documents,nothing of me...Unless they want something on the day of interview..I asked them just recently and that is what they said. I would want to be with him inside at least but,in this embassy only applicant goes...petitioneer stays outside smoking,hahahaha...waiting and nail biting :))) Visa is given second day and sometimes same day in the afternoon...I guess each embassy has it's own protocol...

exactly, each consulate has its own protocol...some do not let the petitioner in, some let the petitioner in but it doesn't make much of a difference, and some unofficially require the petitioner. Just like some consulates are more difficult than others...the same red flag will be handled differently depending the consulate, and some consulates like to issue denials even when there are no real obvious red flags while others will grant the visa after a few short questions.

If everything we send so far,from forms,to affadavit to payments,was accepted as correct,everything was approved and sent to embassy and now we are only waiting for interview's(husband)day to come...do we have to be affraid of denial??? I mean,other than medical,my husband doesn't need to bring anything with him to embassy because everything is there(NVC sent it all to be ready for him when he comes to interv.) WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE A REASON IN ONE MONTH FOR NOW THAT HE IS DENIED FOR VISA???? I am reading about this uncertainty and I am nervosu too but in procentage,how many cases after everything is nice correct and complete,is denied?? And why?

I would suggest not creating a problem that doesn't exist. Be sure to have all your documentation in order, think positive thoughts only and instead of focusing on what can go wrong, focus on what will go right. Don't drive yourself crazy.

Remember the glass is half full AND half empty, both are right, it just depends on your perspective. It's ok to be nervous but understand that nervousness and worry change nothing, and promote very little meaningful thought processes. Freak if you need to when you need to; until think pleasant thoughts and smile. :innocent:

please understand, that just because it was 'accepted' at NVC, it doesn't mean the Consular Officer at the Immigration Unit inside of the US Embassy/Consulate will NOT find problems with it, ah ? Also, don't forget that an approved petition means the foreign spouse is ALLOWED to apply for a visa. Never means 'all is well' - IMO - 'all is well' on interview day - when the ConOff says 'yer approved - Welcome to USA'

Many times, I-864 is some issue, things strange on the DS-230 - NVC ONLY CHECKS for completeness and 'dollar amount' - and that's it. A ConOff knows how to sniff out problems - and the casefile always in hand prior to interview day - time is made for 'eyeball review', as well - so if any perceived ISSUES with the 'totality of the casefile' - notes are made in the casefile, prior to interview day.

The Interviewing Officer sees those notes, as well, and 'makes the interview' go a certain way, based on the notes.

Also - is different 'approach' as well, based on which US Embassy/Consulate it is.

Although your question is 'general' in nature, the answer is 'specific' in scope - it depends on where the interview is, as well.

my husband doesn't need to bring anything with him to embassy because everything is there

Many people have the 'bonafide relationship evidence', up-to-date file, on interview day. Please review the I-130 instructions, review the 6 types of evidence, review your Consular Reviews - then LET US KNOW if you feel you should prep a package for your foreign spouse, for this 'bonafide relationship evidence' - or not ?

WHAT POSSIBLY COULD BE A REASON IN ONE MONTH FOR NOW THAT HE IS DENIED FOR VISA??

difficult to say, EXACTLY, as only YOU know the contents of the casefile.

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT!!! THIS IS WHAT MY HUSBAND TELLS ME EVERY TIME I STARTS WITH-WHAT IF....He doesn't even let me talk to him about interview any more...But I admitt-I am bad when it comes to things like that..Just my caracther I guess. :)

check out the serbia, croatia, or bosnia forums theye might have some Macedonians since they all huddle together...good luck

where can i find that??? In fact I found two cases from countries stated above(Mac and Cro) and both went as smooth as they could...5 min max talk and visa on hand the same day...well one same day the other 2 after...I guess I should look at those cases to ease my mind instead of some hard ones ;)

Thanx

From what I have heard, the interview is where most denials happen. What does that mean? It means... if you are trying to pull a fast one or something is fishy then you should be afraid. If you are sincere and really in love, then no part of this process should you fear other than something being missed and causing a delay.
