Advice about Interview

[Bikesnjaz 3]

Hello, everyone. Today I rec'd notice that our Petition for Visa has been approved, and they're mailing me a letter specifying what's next.

So-- what's next? My fiancée Emma is in the Philippines, and I'm assuming the next thing is for her to fly to Manila for the interview. She is quite nervous about this (I think in part because of her English, although I think her English proficiency is around the 70th percentile).

What kinds of things will they ask? How should I help to prep her?

Also, what will they look for during the medical exam? And do those take place at the same time, the same visit?

She is in Mindanao, and so it will be good to do it all in just one trip.

Thanks so very VERY much for your help with this!

According to those peeps who have been interviewed, give week allowance before you schedule an the interview after the medical. You wouldn't know if there will be other problems.

Regarding the medical exam, I think they encourage you to do it a week or 3 days before the actual interview. If she's ok and has no issues on her medical, then she can go ahead with the interview. If she has medical issues, St. Luke's will call the US embassy to reschedule it and have the medical issues resolved first.

For the questions, there's a bunch of examples you can find here. In my experience, I was asked about our pictures, why we're in a group, about my work abroad. She can always ask to repeat the question if she can't understand it the first time. Good luck with your fiance's interview.
