thanks a lot for the information

thanks for giving us information, how many pictures you copied as evidence ?

give us some of the questions they asked you please

@Ali Ali almost 5 months after getting DQ’d we got the interview date. There is no specific date we did a western union transfer once a month.

@Nasser Hdwan I just gathered all the pictures I thought were “important” life moments we had together. In total I think I had 20 pictures but as I said that number is just random and I just picked good quality pictures.

The questions they asked was how long have we been together, what’s your spouse occupation/job, where does he live and thats it.

what is your prioty date

@Adel J thanks

Hi Adel, thank you for the detailed information. May I ask how you were able to go to the Djibouti embassy? Did you have to transfer your case? Were you asked for a residency ID? I’d appreciate your response on this as I’m planning to transfer our case to Djibouti.

how many agents do the interview? i heard they are 3 ?

thanks again for helping information my question is do I have to upload DS5535 through the website?

@Qeyo Babi Because the applicant is a Yemeni citizen they automatically assigned us to the Djibouti embassy so we didn’t do anything ourselves to be assigned to that embassy. So, if in your case your applicant is Yemeni as well then all you need is to send a message through the NVC inquiry form that you want to transfer your case to Djibouti and they should be able to do it without any proofs because that’s the embassy Yemeni’s are assigned to due to us not having an embassy back home.

@abgil ahm in our case only 2 people we dealt with. The first window they basically checked that we had all the necessary paperwork and the second “interview” was the main interview.

@Ahmed A no, don’t upload the DS5535 before the interview. What we did was we printed the form and filled it out and took it with us to the interview, but they never asked for it so we didn’t give it to them.

@Ahmed A so just bring it with you filled out but don’t hand it to them unless they ask for it.

@Adel J Thank you so much for your help

Adel J did they ask to see the money tranfer ? or you just brought them for additional

@Rose A They didn’t ask for them I just brought them as additional evidence

@Adel J did you go in with your spouse? are you allowed? how many questions did they ask?

@Sam Alex Yes, you’re allowed to go in with your spouse but you have to wait in the waiting area. So during the main interview the person who is getting the visa has to do it by themselves and the US citizen has to wait in the waiting area until the interview is done. They only asked 3 questions for us which I listed in one of the comments.

@Ahmed A nothing new?

@Aladen Nasser I believe this week I'll let you know

@Adel J for the affidavit of support did you just take what you submitted on ceac or did you have to show them updated tax papers and paystubs?

@Adel J where did you do the medical exam and when should you schedule it?

@d altar my income was enough so I brought my tax papers for the past three years, pay stubs for the last three months, and a letter from my employer stating how much I make a year.

@d altar for the medical exam we did it at Dr. Fozia office but we had a bad experience there so I don’t necessarily recommend it just because of that. Others might have had a good experience with that office so I don’t want to say don’t go there because they were nice and everything but we had a problem with one of the nurses so we probably had bad luck.

we scheduled it couple days before we arrived but you can schedule it the day before if you want, at least at Dr Fozia office you can. But I guess to be safe just call couple days ahead.

@Ahmed A finally bro lol

@Aladen Nasser the craziest appointments periods of the history

Did you need to get the Covid vaccine?

@Sara Saleh Yes doctor ask for it during the medical exam

@Ahmed A when did you get your appointment

@Adel J I want to know what did you bring with you to the interview. I read the email and I see that they said to bring the documents I uploaded to the NVC, but also stating to bring whoever sponsored proof of employment. Would a recent check be sufficient? Do you need to provide an update tax return for the sponsor? Since we applied in December of 2022 do we need to provide the year 2023? The criminal background check has an expiration, right? It’s been longer than 6 months since we did one. Do I need to do another background check?

@Sam Alex I personally brought proof of employment plus 3 of my recent pay checks. You do need the tax transcript for the 2022 which is the latest year (we’re still in 2023 so there is not tax transcript/return for this year yet) For the criminal background I’m not sure what the timeline is for that, sorry.

@Adel J So you just brought what you uploaded to the NVC plus the checks. What else did you bring other than the proof and the pictures.

lmfao bro your right man, ima be honest man i was one of those who cut in line😂😂 man seriously you gotta do what you can when yemenis around we never follow the rules, i mean look at us in yemen, we stay stuck in a damn intersection for half an hour😂😂 الله يخارجنا بس
