Additional Documents During Interview

Sept. 9, 2011- My Mom had her interview at the Manila USEmbassy this day. Her appointment was 6:30am. She was interviewed by an interpreter with the presence of American Consul. Couple questions were asked but mostly about me and my husband, e.i.

What is your daughter's name and birthday?
Where does she work, the nature of job and how long is she on that job?
How long she's been in the US?
Her address in the US.
What is your daughter's husband's name?
Where does he work? and how long?
Where does he live?
Do they live together?
Do they have kids?
Does her husband live in any States except where they live.

My Mom was able to answer all of those questions. But she was given a form asking my husbands affidavit of support which is the I-864A. I was surprised on the documents they are asking because I did not expect to provide my husband's affidavit of support since my income alone is above the poverty line of 125%. I wish I knew that I had to submit I-864A. But, I just realized that since I came here in the US through my husband, they wanna make sure that we are still together and not using him for immigration benefit.

So right now, we are working on the affidavit of support of my husband. As soon as we get his employment letter we would send these to my Mom. Then, my Mm would send all the documents with her passport to the US EMBASSY using their commercial courier which is 2GO.
