To be prepared!

08-29-2007, 10:22 PM

Before anyone tells me i am going to have a long wait, I know. My
family and I have just been approved on a I-130 and now am preparing
myself for the long hard slog until the PD becomes current, but
wondering if there is anything i can do now to make the procedure go
smoother when the time does arrive. I was thinking along the lines of
medical ie: vacinations etc.

also could anybody give me a clue to what kind of questions they ask at
interview? I know its a long way off, but like to be prepared.
constructive please.

Thankyou in anticipation, Paul

What category family member are you falling into?

The medicals are only good for 1 year, and you might need to show
something from the embassy anyway, so no sense getting that done.

Police reports, as well, are only valid for 1 year. I don't think
there's much you can get done ahead of time.

I think it's a good idea for you to be prepared.. the reading is
interesting and will help you know what you need to get ready.
Have a read here:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigra...info_1339.html and start
looking at the documents and such that you'll want to have on hand.

You'll find the vaccination list there, but if there are some you think
you may have already had, or that are medically contraindicated for your
age etc, don't just get them. The doctor at your medical will advise
what is missing and what is required (it's often less than applicants
think!). The medical usually has to be assigned to you, so you can't get
that early either.

But I think you'll find plenty of interesting stuff at that
link.. have fun!

Thanks for the link, meauxna, I have probably plenty of time while
waiting but just want to be as ready as i can be. One question that
hasn't been answered is, what kind of questions are we going to get at
the interview? that i think is going to be the scariest moment. Paul

The interview should not be scary. My only experience is with a spouse
case, but all other reports I've read are the same: you're asked basic
questions that you will know the answer to. Things like your
relationship to the petitioner, what you plan to do in the US, where
you've live etc. They will already have done their checking on you by
that time.
It is usually described as 'an anticlimax'.

You can search the internet under the phrase 'interview experience' and
find people's reports.
