After many months of waiting to get an approval for fiancé/fiancée petition, here comes the most-awaited and exciting part—looking forward to an interview with the consul at the US Embassy in your country. As soon as you passed the medical examination prior to the interview, here’s the list of things you need to do in preparation to an interview with the consul.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Visa application fee
  • Completed DS Forms
  • Proofs of relationship between the petitioner & beneficiary
  • Notarized Affidavit of Support from the Petitioner (I-131)
  • Visa photos
  1. Step 1
     

    Make sure that you pay all the necessary fees for the visa application process as per instruction from the embassy.

  2. Step 2
     

    Gather all the required documents for the day of the interview. Compile and organize them neatly for easy reference and retrieval.

  3. Step 3
     

    Go shopping for the attire you will wear on that day. Shop for clothes that are appropriate for the occasion. Business attire is recommended.

  4. Step 4
     

    Get your family, friends, and US fiancé/fiancée involved. Their support, prayers, and encouragement will boost your confidence.

  5. Step 5
     

    On the night before the interview date, make sure that you have everything you will need for the big day. Eat a good dinner and go to bed early.

  6. Step 6
     

    Come to the embassy at least two hours before your scheduled interview. This will save you from the stress of hurrying up to be in line and getting a number. The earlier you come, the sooner you will be interviewed for the day.

  7. Step 7
     

    While waiting for your turn to be interviewed, calm your nerves and relax. Think about how wonderful your relationship with your US citizen fiancé/fiancée is. This will enable you to focus on the relationship which is what the interview is all about.

  8. Step 8
     

    Make your thoughts positive. Look forward to getting your visa approved at the end of your interview.

  9. Step 9
     

    When your turn comes, gather your documents, check your overall look and walk with confidence towards the interview room. Good luck!
