I'll dare to confirm the following prediction: An approval is almost garanteed if the petitioner (USC) accompanies the beneficiary to the interview. I'm living proof. I kid you not, the lady didn't even cared for one single paper we took to the interview. Everything is neatly sealed in envelopes, exactly how packed them. Not even one picture, not one phone bill, not one letter, not even a text message. Nada. She just looked at him and asked him a couple of questions. Then asked me like 4 questions; followed by 3 questions directed at both of us. Then she said: "I'm gonna go ahead an approve your visa. You'll receive it in 10 days." There again, we had a solid case. We front loaded it and I make enough money to sponsor him, which is the first thing they look at. In fact, the lady that took care of us before the interview had our file opened in my I-134 and paystubs. She took a calculator and made allt he math needed to check my finances.

For your benefit I will share with you the questions asked:

To him-

How did you meet?

when did you meet?

To me-

When did you come to Egypt and for how long?

What do you do for a living?

When did you come the second time and for how long?

Is this the third time in 10 months you come to Egypt?

To both-

Have you been married before?

Children?

What are your ages?

To him-

What are your plans in the US?

How will your wedding be, civil or religious? Where?

For each question that required evidence, I offered it, but she didn't want to see it. That's it!

And yes, it is also true: if you do not have a solid case and the beneficiary goes alone, more than likely s/he will be awkwardly interrogated. I heard many consulars being less than friendly with the customers.

Thank you and God Bless!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.
