They have been asking for the forms. That is why I have posted articles and videos about it.

Well, there's someone from Fiji in the OC thread who was asked for neither. It's more interesting to know if places that never ask for an i-134 are now starting to require them. Also if the 12 months of bank statments thing is being enforced.

Yes, fairly obviously, the way embassies are handling the new form/process is not consistent between all the embassies - just like almost everything else....

Exactly, and that's why it's interesting to see how different embassies will implement this new rule and whether "friendlier" embassies will now toughen their requirements (ie. asking for an i-134)

While its true that OC is a more lenient region - there have been cases where proof of financials was requested. I recall someone last year that was asked for bank statements at Sydney embassy.
Safest option is to be prepared over-prepared and take anything and everything you think you might need

Because the process is so new it could well change one week to the next as well. I wouldn’t be complacent.

Is there someone of EU that have received his confirmation email about processed documents?

There are a lot of people in EU (and all other regions) that have received the confirmation of documents processed email - is there a specific question you want to ask about it?
 
Yes, I’d like to know what is the higher number in Eu that have received their email of processed documents confirmation . (Not the exact CN, only the range 25/26k for example)
Only to be informed! 'Cause I have 27k and didn't received anything yet

I mean CN that have received it in these days before next VB will be out, so numbers from 21200 and more
 
So finally I have all documents ready to send.

Here is the question, I have a Police certificate in foreign language. I made official translations to our National Language and English. How should I send these docs? Original separately and translated ones both in the same PDF file? Or all of them as a separate PDF file?

Hi, I saw your posts and I think you are a bit stressed as most of us were.
You are not current yet, that's why you still get the email, I'm not from EU but got the email on the 6th of Feb and my CN became current in March VB published on Feb 18th. Based on how fast EU is going, your CN can become current in the next VB if there is a big jump for EU or maybe the VB after (I hope for you), you will get the email couple of days before.

Look at my timing in my signature below to have an idea, I hope this helps!!

Thanks, yeah I'm a little bit stressed too, but I did this question only to be informed and to have an idea about next VB in Eu 'cause you know it's very hard the wait. In add to this , some people from Russia and Albania said me that lots of them with Cn higher than mine (as 29k) have already received this email so I am wondering why I not. I did everything well.

I'm not sure why they got the email before you, they might be ahead but it does not mean you are late. I want you to relax and wait for the next VB and remember that what is meant to be will be :)

anyone?

I sent scanned documents: 1x passport, 1x birth cert, 1x Police cert from my country, 1x foreign Police cert original and 1x Police cert official translation in my language+EN. I hope that's ok.

If anyone was interviewed after the public charge rule took effect, please share your experience. Would be interesting to see if they asked for the DS-5540, i-134, bank statements etc.

Yes I was interviewed on 20th Feb. They requested financial proof. I submitted i-134 and they said OK
 
I didn't know. But they requested us financial proof. We had prepared it because on this forum and on Simon's blog we have been advised to over prepare. Thanks for your advise

This was in Tanzania right? It's pretty common there to ask for those from what I've seen
 
Hello. May I ask to get a social security card you need to apply for it on local SSO or applying with DS260 was enough? I went to my local SSO they seem not to understand
