I just noticed that NBC and TSC are gone from the case status list... only CSV and VSC are there!

Congrats dude!

@ Baba70, yes IT IS NOT an embassy requirement to be present during your fiancee's interview but a lot of us here think that it would be AN EXTRA HELP for your fiancee to relax and knowing HER MAN is there to support her all the way. I am not saying you don't, like I said "extra".

Curious though, what you meant by "PAY HARD"???

after what happened to my N400 case I don't trust the case status update online.

a few days after my N400 got approved I got curious and checked it online and got shocked it was not updated it still stay "Interview Process" but then I don't care I got the action letter already so that's more important.

If by next week it's not updated, I would call Customer Service Hotline and ask.

I agree with KoJ, maybe she is broken hearted too! let's wait, women are not like men! we can forget about everything in a single bound! it takes time for women when they get hurt!

quote: "A couple of times I snapped at her" - I hope not physical? coz dude, you are in major problem if ever!

IF after sometime and all is said and done and still she opted to stay away from you, then move on and do what is lawfully right.

Congrats! and best of luck in medical and interview! Keep the faith! God is good!

and yeah! I was in your shoes after 5.2 months! LOL! "Does .2 means 1/2 a week, 1 week, 8 days etc.???"

I went crazy too! but then shrug my shoulders and said "it will come, it's just a matter of days"

@ Altair17, stop calling and be patient! ...i looked into your timeline and it says NOA1 6/13/2012. Yes VSC says 5.2 or 5.6 whatever, but truly it's 6 months! I filed mine last April 23, 2012 and on October 23, 2012 at 10:15am I received a text msg and email that Case was updated and so I checked on Case Status and whala! its been approved ...Upon receiving the NOA2 it says exactly October 23, 2012 but then SANDY (storm) came and NO MAIL here in NY till the second week of November when I finally got the official letter, nevertheless, I told fiance to go on with medical exam since we already have the KEV number. Set-up the interview a week after, passed it, and there you go, she will be here this sunday YAY!

SO PATIENCE MY FRIEND... wait till the 13th of the month for text that your case is updated (I hope you enrolled in case status update via text/email)

One more week! It wouldn't hurt! We all know exactly how you feel.

YEY! congrats!

I was eavesdropping at your fiance's interview that day and I MUST say that the consular officer handling our case (we got interviewed by the same one) was the most friendliest one I have ever encountered and I'm pretty much sure she's not going to make it hard for you guys, maybe it was just really a document check. Regardless you guys were in my prayers, hey, afterall we are all in that same damn boat!

YES, take everything you could possibly bring!

Our binder was like 4-5 inches thick of papers and documents, from old ITRs, paychecks, W-2's, Picture printouts of us together, I-129, N-400, Skype yahoo and communications evidences, AND ALL!!!

They might not need it but it never hurts to bring everything. (only your shoulders will hurt after carrying LOL)

I got a Black Nylon Binder with tie down cover plus extra 5 transparent folders one of which is containing the DS forms, I-134 and ITR and employment cert., police clearance, birth certificate, and all evidences of relationship. (this is the folder we handed over the window)

Congrats!

Thanks Blue Puppy!

@ Lloyd, wow that would be great! I bet your Iryna will be so glad to see you there! and like I said, it'll make a huge difference to the Consular Officer that you made a trip there to show how much you care about your relationship. BEST OF LUCK! Keep us posted!

Yes you can bring a binder as long as no CD or any media is in it, just papers and pen. I brought a black 13 folder organizer and it's fine. BAGS are not allowed! ANY KINDS!

Here's a pointer.

Interview was quicker than i have read here! it only took us 40 minutes. Time was 8:30am. Was at the gate around 7:30am. Came in at 8:30am. After the Security Scan and Getting a Ticket Number, a minute or two gone by and our number was called right away! (809 when we came ours was 811)... Lady behind window asked my fiancee for DS-156/230 papers, my fiancee said "do you need attachments, supporting documents?" strange but the lady said "there is no attachment for this form" my fiancee then replied "my supporting papers, birth certificate, police clearance, I-134 etc." ..lady said "do you have it?" "Yes, I do" "Ok give me" ??? (this is weird ) Anyway, then she asked "did you meet online?" fiancee:"nope, we used to work together" I forgot what other questions she was asking fiancee in ukrainian language. We then was asked to wait to be called for interview (LOL my fiancee and I thought it was the interview already) 9:00am we sat down and around 9:40am we were called by another woman... After swearing, she began asking questions. to my fiance:"How did you meet?" (we work in the same company etc.) "did you meet his family already" (yes, only online) "do you plan on meeting them in person?" (yes as a matter of fact, if my visa gets approved, we are planning on going home to philippines next year so I can meet them) and then to me:"did you meet her parents?" (yes, online) "where are you planning to stay?" (in New York, in my apartment) "you have an apartment?" (yes, i do in manhattan) "great" "when did you propose?" (January of this year) looking at my fiancee "so what are your wedding plans?" (ah, just a simple wedding in the city hall perhaps) (Me:she doesn't like big wedding - with a big smile)

"I like those heart shaped paper clips" (fiancee: oh it's him who did that) "did you?" (yes, learned it in home economics subject LOL) "never seen one, how did you do it?" - so I showed her how to do it, and she was so amazed LOL! then "well, congratulations your visa is approved, you can pick it up at the courier you chose when you applied"

TIP 1: ORGANIZED YOUR PAPERS ACCORDINGLY! USE LARGE COLORED PAPER CLIPS! and AS MANY AS POSSIBLE TO SEPARATE EACH PAPER NEEDED! BE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE IF YOU CAN!

TIP 2: I STRONGLY BELIEVE BEING PRESENT DURING THE INTERVIEW WORKS VERY WELL, EASEN UP THE PRESSURE YOUR FIANCEE WILL HAVE, PLUS IT SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU VALUE HER BEING THERE FOR HER IN ONE OF HER MOST IMPORTANT DAY.

TIP 3: IF INTERVIEW IS DURING WINTER - WEAR WARMMMM CLOTHING!!! GLOVES AND ALL!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE MAKING PEOPLE WAIT OUTSIDE IN THE COLD WITHOUT "SHED" ...WHEN I CAME INSIDE THERE WAS A WAITING AREA BUT THEY ARE NOT USING IT!

TIP 4: DRESS PROPERLY!!! COMMON YOU ARE NOT GOING TO A BAR OR CLUB TO DRINK BEER!!! LIKE THEY SAY "DRESS TO IMPRESS" "FIRST IMPRESSION LAST"

TIP 5: SMILE AND THINK IT'S JUST FORMALITY SAKE. I don't know but I guess when I submitted my I-129F I included a letter "brief in support of" that detailed our entire relationship and all evidences attached.

A W-2 copy should be attached to your ITR as far as I know... all of my ITR has a copy of all my employers W-2.

During our interview the guy ahead of us was asked a certain document, he said he can produce it asap and can even come back that afternoon, the officer said very well, just submit that document whenever you want can be today or any day and we will process your visa.

I hope its the same with your case.

Best of luck!

Yes, you can go! and Yes they will allow you as long as you bring your US passport with you. READ BELOW for some pointers/info BEST OF LUCK on your interview!
