I am so nervous for my interview on Tuesday! I just hope my medical gets there in time, they said it takes 3 working days for them to review the additional information they wanted. So they got it yesterday morning so should be done by tomorrow or Monday, cutting it so fine :mellow:

 

I'm also worrying about the tax transcripts, we were never able to get them due to a few issues online, he is going to try one last time tomorrow if not I have to go without. I'm pretty sure I'm taking more than enough, W2 for 2016, paystubs since he began his job in August 2016 that also has a cover letter stating his deducrtions (tax) year to date etc and a letter from his employer. I've read that London are really relaxed with this, they do not require a tax return and will be happy with paystubs and a letter from him employer. Yet I'm still sat here worrying!!

Didn't he have a copy of his 1040, if not the transcripts themselves? That usually works perfectly along with the W-2, and he could just scan it and send it to you.

Not that it's likely to be an issue, as you said, but just for your peace of mind since you are worried about it.

 

I know you are going to do good at the interview :)

You are all good. Just relax and have a quick conversation with the CO. It’s all good. 

 

Ive heard of many stories where the COs don’t even look at anything you bring so bring all you have and hopefully you won’t need anything.

I'm sure everything will work out fine.  You don't need to worry, you have WAY more supporting evidence for the I-134 than I sent my fiance.  I only sent him a letter from my employer and 2 pay stubs and that was it.  They didn't ask for anything more so you're all set.  Just remember to breathe and that you've got this!

Thank you both for your reassurance. I just need to calm down, I know I'm the reason why I'm all worked up all the time :lol:

Thank you! It's so strange but just hearing them words 'you will be fine' from people in the same situation as yourself can be such a comfort! 

 

I'm keeping my positive hat on from now on :lol:
