Just a very good tip for the interview is to do small mock interviews of possible questions from the forms sent to USCIS and NVC. It helped my wife a lot when it came to anwering them.
possible questions from the forms? u mean details that are indicated in birth certs, marriage certs? is there anything else from those forms that will be asked? Thank you for the tip!!! Appreciate a lot..
Things on the I-130,G-325. DOB, marriage date, parents names, adress of spouse in US, etc: Pretty much whats on the forms that you filled out for the whole process. Sometimes they will ask something that's not on the forms, but general things that you already know.
