If any of you have been approved or know this information please let me know! Do I have to take a copy of the "Affidavit of Support" packet that we all send in the begining of the this process to the consular interview tomorrow? I'm in doubt because in my interview letter instructions it doesn't specifically say to bring a copy it just says that I already sent those papers to NVC and NVC sent them to the consular. Will they ask me for that or do they already have them at the consular? Please help me interview is tomorrow in ciudad juarez.

I just asked a similar question on a different thread about putting the support documents with the income and I was told that it is required to bring to the interview because they want recent income documents and bank statements. Even if you provide it in the initial packet they want current documents. If I were you.. I'd rather be safe than sorry and delay anything else. Take them. It can't hurt

If the information on the I-864 that was previously submitted has not fundamentally changed, then it does not need to be brought to the interview. However; if there have been significant changes to the form since it was submitted, then a new one will need to be brought to the interview.

Hello thank you! Well the interview was very easy and simple. If you did all the paperwork and everything went well you shouldn't have any difficulty in te interview. They just asked me for my wife's address and how we met and then just said welcome to the US! He was very nice as well. As for the medical, if you already have your appointment it's also very easy. You are probably in there for about 20 minutes, and the vaccines well they just put whatever is missing in your vaccine record book. I had all my Vaccines Mexico requested so I had to get 3 for the visa because the U.S. request you to have extra ones. The vaccines are only for the person getting the visa. You also get the results the same day. The other spouse doesn't have to do anything at all. My wife was in the hotel room when I did everything from the biometrics, medical, and the interview. Hope this helps a little and hope all goes well for you guys! Good luck!

How many days in advance did you schedule the biometrics?

That is my biggest issue right now, I can't get the website to go through. I have our interview for 2/3/15 and our Medical exam for 1/30/15. I wish we can schedule biometrics on 1/30 also or on 2/2/15 so that we do not have to get to Juarez any earlier than 1/29/15
