Without the petitioner. 

It is no where written that you need to attend the interview with the petitioner. Even if the petitioner is with you at the time of interview, he/she might not be able to say something to the CO at the time of interview or stand next to you at the interview window unless the CO says so.
The interview is for beneficiary and you should only attend the interview, I also thought that the chance of approval might be more if my petitioner is with me but I think that is not the case. So relax and give the interview by your own.

The bank letter from the bank officer stating the date when the bank account was opened and how much was deposited in the last year and how much is your balance.

Yes, sorry I forgot that. You need that too in original.

i134 in original and signed, employment paper from your petitioner in original and signed by the employer stating the wages and date of joining and nature of employment (part time or full time), w2, pay stubs, tax return.
I took 3 year's tax return of the petitioner but they took only the latest one.

They will keep the original financial documents which you have got from the petitioner. Apart from that they only see original birth certificate and return it to you then and there after verifying it.

Congratulations

Hello all,
Visa in hand finally 🎉🎉

I took snapshot of WhatsApp chat and our pictures 7-8 pages that the CO returned saying it is not enough and gave me 221g. Then I send them a lot of watsapp snapshot and our pictures like 100 pages and each page containing 6 photos or screenshot.

Normal watch is okay, not sure about the digital or smart watch. I didn't see anyone wearing those.

Keep checking, they release the slots 2 months prior. So you might be able to see slots released for later December dates.

It was going pretty well and then the co get to our age gap. Gave me 221g for more proof of ongoing relationship.

You don't have to enter any number. Log back in 2-3 days and the website will automatically tell you that you have receipt number to attach.
You will not get the number from bank. The number is usually the same account number you have transferred the amount but some preceding character removed.

They can't give you report the same day. My report was ready the next day but I took time to get it.

I booked the appointment for 10 AM but I went there an hour earlier, overall the experience was good.
They took my height and weight, blood, eye power checked with and without glasses, gave my urine sample, filled the form which they gave and I didn't have any previous vaccination records so they gave me vaccine. Took off my clothes ( in underwear), Dr examine my eyes, ears, mouth and joints, asked me move my hands and legs.
Started asking me series of questions like any previous surgery or any illness or any medicine I'm taking... blah blah.
Finally the chest x-ray and done (took 3-4 hours in total). Asked me to come the next day to collect my report. 
I'm going tomorrow to collect my report.

Yep, I booked it today afternoon. Got the slot for October 12th.

I waited for a week and then send the email to support and they took 2 days to reply. Once I had that I called Rele Clinic and they asked me to go through the website, so I put the request on the website and they called me the next day and booked my appointment for 1st Oct.

I'mma dumb ###, 
I booked the Oct 3 for vac and Oct 5 for interview but accidentally I booked the vac at Chennai while doing back and forth because I was waiting for my pcc. I had to cancel that because I can't go to Chennai hoping that they would release the date and the next date available was Nov 16 which I also lost. I booked 30 Nov now, hopefully I will get any prior date.
