Dv2008 Interview

Silly question. Do all family members need to go for an interview or only the winning person? Just received the letter and it does not say that ...
EU00007xxx
 
On the 2nd letter somewhere should be written that all applicant family members must be at the interview together with the petitioner (winner) .

Thank you dragoman. The letter does list family members, but it does not say they must come with me for the interview.

Funny thing. I have been living in Switzerland for the last 7 years, received Canadian PR in 2007 and now have won DV2008. Do not know what to do :rolleyes:

Yes it is very hard to decide, but it depends on what you are expecting for in the US and Canada..Uspexa..

Read that letter again. It says clearly that all members of the family should be present at the interview with all documents

Quoting the letter:

Ref: Your immigrant visa appointment on [date]

Dear [name]:

The enclosed information is about how to obtain required civil documents from [country] if you have not done so already

Please read and follow all of the enclosed instructions very carefully. Your case number is filed under your name as shown below. When communicating with this office either by telephone or letter, you must provide your name and case number exactly as shown in this letter. If they are wrong or incomplete, please inform us.

Sincireley, ...

Case number: xxxxx
Name: xxxxx

Traveling applicants:

(P) name, birth date
(S) name, birth date
(C) name, birth date


Enclosed are 2 pages of instructions how to obtain required documents for my country: birth , marriage certificates, police, military records, etc. . That's it...
 
@ Valaboro: When will your interview be? Mine is on October 11th in Bern. It says on my letter: "All members of the applicant's family, listed on the attached page, must appear at the U.S. Embass/Consulate for the appointment..."
 
Mine is November 14 in Bern. It does not say that all family members must come. That's why I am asking.
 
It is kinda weird that you got a different letter than I did (I don't find the statement that you quoted on my letter and it seems that you can't find my quote on yours). You could always call them to make sure but I'm pretty sure that all family members have to be there (from reading other experiences). Does it say anything about whether you need to bring new photographs? On mine it just says that I need to bring the correct number and format of photographs, but it never says how many (or any at all). And does it say anything about bringing stamps?

Igmu why don't we make it short; Bring your entire family and documents.
Any other administrative items like stamps etc. can be obtained from almost any US embassy in the world talkless of an embassy in Bern. Good Luck!
 
Yesterday on 1st October, 2 applicants had a interview in Ankara, Turkey. They were asked to find a sponsor and bring the I-134 affidavit of support..

Do you know wheather they had bank statements for their own fonds( ammount of money according to poverty guedlines)?
 
As far as I understand they made a mistake, one of them is MBA student and he took money from his mother and put on his own account short time before interview. He has no work experience etc. It is very obvious why affidavit of support required from him..
