FAQ "what to take to the interview"

[Redsunset52]

In reviewing the FAQ and what to take to the interview for P4 , does not the Medical report which is prepared by the hospital staff have the DS 156, 157, and other medical forms enclosed in the "yellow" envelope ? Why when reading the FAQ does it say to take the same forms again to the GZ interview ? I am confused

Yes, I guess what I am asking is the medical hospital staff including the same forms my SO is going to take the to the interview ??? In other words GZ wants my SO to give them at the interview the same forms the hospital prepares?

The instructions spell it out nicely.

 

Go the medical, your SO gives them some papers, they give you an envelope and an x-ray tube. Your So takes it all to the interview.

One consideration is that you want to take a copy of EVERYTHING ever submitted to them...

 

If the medical staff somehow loses the form, she'll have one immediately to give to the VO; Otherwise, I assume one will get a blue slip to submit missing documents.

 

it's up to you as to how far you want to be truly 'prepared' for any scenario...

 

You can trust USCIS, NVC, GUZ to do all the right things at every step of the way.. or you can trust yourself to have copies of it all ...
