Looks good! However I think you will need a few passport (2x2 inch) US type pictures of yourself. I believe for the visa and 1 of the forms. Maybe get 3 or 4 to be sure. Inexpensive and easy to get at shops around the embassy area. My wife thinks she needed 2 last year when she had her interview. She was so nervous she does not remember what the pics were for!

Your above package looks very good, very similar to ours.

best wishes

Oh yeah, the photos...waaa...see, i really overlooked this one thing..thanks so much gary9891

Good luck on the interview! My wife and I did the same interview back in April 2008. (view my timeline)

I was the petitioner and I can remember how tense we were when we had our interview.

The funny part was we brought so much supporting documents and they didn't even bother to look for them during the interview. Only the pre-screener looked at them.

Also, I mananged to fly back to escort my wife to the interview and when it was our turn, the interviewer asked me to leave the room. LOL. So it was just my wife 1 on 1.

It was casual interview. So just relax. Talk with them like they're buddies. Dont look nervous. So after that, we received the visa within a week.

I can still remember the document verification nightmare for most ppl. But this was a few years ago, I hope they managed to fix it.

Lastly, when we had our interview, I was quite surprised how many fiances were there. There were atleast close to 100 ppl being intervied for K-1.

The best part of the interview is you get treated like VIP. You do not need to wait where most ppl are waiting outside (tourist visas interviews).

You get to sit at the blue chairs with the AC.

Good luck again.

My wife and I are applying for the Removal of Conditions now. You will be going through with this also 2 years down the road.

I am sure you will be fine.

I believe during the time we had our interview, majority were approved. As I do not recall anyone being denied. This is just formality.

If you have all your documents in order, you should be fine.

Most people I remember were approved pending (document verification).

Also, don't forget to bring the engagement ring.

Lastly, after the interview, make sure to ask when you get approved. (when you are approved, you will get a paper to give to DELBROS)

Good luck.
