Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)What questions will Naples,Italy Embassy ask?
As long as nothing seems out of the ordinary, the medical and interview at Naples do not seem to be anything dramatic - at least from what I have read and heard. The medical is basically there to make sure that the beneficiary does not have any communicable diseases or is not a psychopath or something of that nature. They're not going to deny anyone for having a cough. With regard to the interview, I've heard that it's basically just in two stages... you get there, they call you up and check over your paperwork, and then you have the "interview" with a consulate officer, that is just a couple of minutes and a couple of questions. I'll be able to confirm all of this next week, as we have the medical on Monday and the interview on Tuesday.

Italy is a very low fraud country when it comes to these types of visas, so you're not going to have near the same amount of scrutiny as you might in many Asian and African countries...

US Embassy and Consulate Discussiontax transcript question
Hello everyone... quick question. I am in the final stages of a DCF for my wife, and am just waiting for my tax transcripts for 2007 and 2008 (since I filed late) to set an interview date (so that my I-864 is complete). Does anyone else have any experience with this and know how long I will have to wait for those transcripts to become available? I know that you can get them the same day once they become available, but am unsure as to the amount of time that passes between the time of filing and the availability date. Thanks.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionform DS-156
I would recommend being honest (obviously), but without volunteering unnecessary information. If the consular official doesn't specifically ask something that would potentially not work in your favor, I don't see the reason behind providing that reason. There are numerous tales and postings here on VJ where doing something like that came back to haunt the beneficiary.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionkids at the embassy interview
No problem with kids at the consulate in Naples, Italy. My wife and I brought our two year old daughter, who instantly became the center of attention of the consulate staff. One quick question about how we met and then they turned their attention to her.

As previously mentioned, everything differs from consulate/embassy to consulate/embassy. You cannot bring laptops or cell phones or electronical products of that nature to the consulate in Naples, but basically everything else is fair game, so coloring books, pictures, whatever else would be fine.

Canadarefused entry or revoked application to enter?
Glad to see that everything went well with the interview. Definitely best to be honest and explain the situation (for all those who might find themselves with a similar status).

Just to clarify, however, a VWP refusal is a relatively minor thing and from what I understand, has little or no effect on the visa process. It simply means that the individual who was trying to enter the US did not meet the criteria of the program, and is much different from a removal or deportation (considerably more severe). My wife (at that time my fiance) was denied entry via the VWP in March of 2007; the officer (nice guy really, who actually let my wife stay for several days in the US with me on a humanitarian basis notwithstanding the refusal) simply explained that she had not spent enough time out of the country before trying to reenter on the VWP, and hence did not qualify for that type of entry.

Good luck to everyone...
