preparing for Interview

[syeda1120 0]

My husband has his interview at the U.S. Embassy tomorrow in Dhaka. I'm planning to attend with him. I emailed the embassy and they said it was fine so I printed out that email and have my passport ready. We made a shadow file of all the paperwork that we sent to USCIS and NVC.

1)Copies of birth and marriage certificate.

2)Copies of the Nikah in English and Bangla.

3)Copies of AOS with 3 years of tax return from both me and my dad (co-sponsor)

4) more than 500 pics

5) my wedding invite

6) copies of out fb convo from b4 and after the wedding. I used phone cards to call him so I don't have phone logs

7) Copy of PCC

My husband was in London for a few years doing his LLB we didn't send in his PCC from UK to NVC but we have it now so should we mention it to them or show it if they ask? I was thinking to mention it to them to show that he was a good citizen in another country as well. Is there anything I'm missing and any last min advise for us? I was really freaking out about AP a few weeks ago but I feel more confident now but mentally ready if it doesn't go the way we're praying for.

your husband is REQUIRED to bring police certificates from every country he has lived in for 6 months or more since the age he turned 16. They will not issued the visa without them.

Sounds like you are all set specially with the PCC from UK Just go to the interview with this mindset. Remember AP doesn't mean refusal or rejection or any complication rather some extra additional check. Just takes some extra time and that's all, if your info is good.

Good luck for tomorrow.

He was put on AP . Honestly I'm a lil disappointed but I knew this might happen so I was ready for it. Do you know how to check the status of AP?

Hi

Dont worry about the AP. It is very common for the men of this ages. I was also in AP before i was issued an immigrant visa. It takes generally 1-3 months. i got after 1.5 months.

I know how u feel!! but nothing in ur hand.

Hope things gonna be ok soon.

Thanks so much and knowing that your AP was for such a short time makes me feel better. Yup! it is very common that's why we went ready for it. I was waiting with a few other USC wives who I think took it harder than I did. I just hope it's not too long. The CO told him he should get a call in a few days. So that gives me hope it won't be too long.

Don't get disappointed as this is pretty standard practice. There are certain countries from which all male applicants go into an automatic AP. There could be some exceptions, but for BD it's pretty much mandatory. I wouldn't give you a rosy picture saying "it will be over soon", but be aware and prepared. If you get out in few weeks to few months, that's a blessing; however, this can take more than 5 months. Lately 3 USC's hubby's came out of AP who did everything the right way, there wasn't any hiccups in their processing, and seemed perfectly okay and it still took more than 5 months. As such just be prepared for the worst, that way you won't panic or get hurt as badly as others. However, the best part of this is, you will eventually get it. The interview is over and you crossed the biggest hurdle of this process. So congratulations on that and you will get another with all caps once he comes out of AP :-)

I've been trying to read other peoples experience so I know what's a head of us. My husband is hopeful it won't be too long since the last thing the CO said was " We'll call you in a few days so you can pick up your passport with visa on it" Let's how long these "few days" actually are.

Positively rooting on your husbands hope :-)
