So to clarify, you had your interview over a year ago, but only sent the stuff requested at that interview last week?

If so yes, what they did is normal... they are checking if you still want to go ahead with the visa application, as it is very unusual to wait so long, and a red flag.

I had my interview a year ago and i was issued a 221g white letter twice in the year,the only reason why it held this long is because of the I-864 ,last week I have submitted I-864 ,PCC and medical and in return I got that letter asking me to come to the interview with DS230 and 2/2 photographs.

Yes,I want to finish this process as soon as possible.

So,please suggest what else I should be prepared for at the interview and any other docs.

*** Duplicate threads merged again. OP, if you have one thread on a topic, remain within it. If you start one more thread on this topic, you'll be subjected to administrative action. ***

(Moderator hat off)

The key to your success throughout the immigration process is to read accurately, interpret literally, and respond/react completely and honestly. The consulate is telling you what to bring, so bring it. If you're concerned about whether they want anything more, contact them ahead of time to ask.

Let us know (in this thread, please) what the results are. Everyone here hopes for the best. Good luck.
