One thing that is sticking out in my mind is was all this info turned in with packet 3 or is this the first time the embassy will be seeing all of these documents? Except for the medical and the domicile most of that they should have had with packet 3. Is the USC already living in the US? If not make sure the beneficiary knows the plans well to explain to the CO.

Submit what the P 3 indicates by mail. Hand carry the remainder. They may or may not even look at many of the things she will carry in. A lot of what you have isnt needed but you wont believe that & will feel better even when they dont want to see it. Your assets for example.

These cases are determined prior to the interview most of the time. You have done well in the preparation of the case & will have no problem with the result.

Consider submitting tax transcripts in place of the 1040. The 140 proves you filled out a form. Transcripts prove you filed & your tax status. Your fiance will not understand how to explain anything about taxes. Transcripts are free form IRS, on line, by phone or fax. Takes about 2 weeks by mail or you can get then by fax.

Ning can you walk me through the process ? We've been many times to the embassy for adding pages to my passport or notary services. The last time we were there was in August and the room for American services is to the right and now they put a wall up so you can't walk to the other side which I'm guessing is where the VISA interviews are given. Anyway can you walk me through it ie;

Step 1: she walks to the security check

Step 2: ?

Step 3: ?

Step 4: ?

I havent been inside the embassy for a few years now so it would be best if another member helped you with this request. I am sure she will find the experiance easy in the end although its stressful for everyone as they go thru it.

More specifically I'm wondering what you turn over to the embassy prior to the interview ? (In my case window #6) Is it just the sealed medical envelopes or do you also turn over all the documents I listed ?

I would give them the medical & then let them ask for what they want. In a recent case they didnt want to see any additional info but you never know. She could just give them everything she has if she wants to. They wil look thru it if they want or just hand it back.

Keep in mind these officers see over 700 cases per month so they are good at what they do. They review the docs that are sent in & form their follow up needs as a result of that.

You have done well to have everything together. I dont see any reason to think there will be a problem. You might experiance what we did in the end. We went outside feeling good but also felt there was just one more thing we had to do. There was. Get to the airport.
