preparing for the interview

[admortemfidelis 0]

Hi, my interview is scheduled on March 25th so i basically have more than a month to prepare. I've already chosen our pictures that I'm going to submit, the messages and emails and skype logs are all ready to be printed. The western union receipts, plane tickets, bus tickets, are also ready. I've also requested 2 copies each of my BC and Cenomar from NSO. I still need your help though.

first, i want to know the exact size of the pictures that I should attach to the DS Forms. Should they be American Visa size or 2x2 sized? is it the same size for the Medical exam?

Second, should I already attach the pictures to the forms, or should they be attached when they collect them from me on the embassy?

Third, with regard to the western union receipts and tickets, this includes the VISA fee receipt from BPI, should i give them the originals or can i just give them the scanned copies and have the originals with me just in case they want to see them?

Fourth, the appointment confirmation letter. Is this the one that i got on my email confirming my appointment since i have set it up online? or is this a letter that i should receive from the mail?

Fifth, what should I wear for my interview? should i go on full corporate attire or smart casual will do?

And lastly, my interview is scheduled at 7:30am. Should i be there as early as 5am? or 6-6:30 will do?

Thank you everyone for always being so helpful. God bless you all!

1. I want to know the exact size of the pictures that I should attach to the DS Forms. Should they be American Visa size or 2x2 sized? is it the same size for the Medical exam?

2. Should I already attach the pictures to the forms, or should they be attached when they collect them from me on the embassy?

I don't remember whether or not you are allowed to attach the the photos in advance.

3. With regard to the western union receipts and tickets, this includes the VISA fee receipt from BPI, should i give them the originals or can i just give them the scanned copies and have the originals with me just in case they want to see them?

Try to give them copies, but have the originals with you in case they are needed.

4. The appointment confirmation letter. Is this the one that i got on my email confirming my appointment since i have set it up online? or is this a letter that i should receive from the mail?

The letter you may receive from the Embassy is a letter which tells you that you are eligible to schedule an interview and it gives you instructions on how to prepare for the interview. It's the same letter I linked you to in #1. It's not an appointment confirmation letter.

Did you print out an interview appointment confirmation sheet when you scheduled your interview online?

5. What should I wear for my interview? should i go on full corporate attire or smart casual will do?

My preference is corporate, but smart casual should work too.

6. My interview is scheduled at 7:30am. Should i be there as early as 5am? or 6-6:30 will do?

6:00-6:30 AM will do fine.

Good luck !!!

I would just bring the pictures with you and let them attach them. I just paperclipped my pictures to my paperwork and they attached them themselves. I think smart casual is totally fine.

It should say on your packet 3 the size of pictures. I know mine were 2X2.
