Firstly congrats to Gill!! We got approved on Tuesday as well!!!! You can wear whatever you want. There is no dresscode. If you have any shyness get rid of it because they talk to you through a speaker where everyone can hear what they say to you! We went there early, checked in. You have to the appt letter in your hand before they will let you in and they check for your name on the list. You go through security and metal detectors, and then take a short walk bacak to where the actual embassy is. You go to the check-in desk, the space is so small so make sure you stand where you can fit, but also so no one tries to take your spot in line. I carried a folder with dividers and all the forms very organized. The reception guy was so impressed. He asked for 4 photos, the DS 156/DS 157, the police, birth, non-impediment, and passport. He checked them and gave us a number and we went in and took a seat in section A. They called our number and requested the same docs the recptionist did, plus my tax info and I-134. She was tossing our stuff around, guess she was having a bad day, but then she asked me to stand to the left and let Andrew be in the center. She checked the docs, kept them and told us to proceed to section B. In section B, you just wait to be called for fingerprinting. Andrew had trouble with this. He is an electrical technician at Federated Pharmaceutical and they work him to the bone literally. The guy had trouble trying to get his fingerprints because they were rubbed off a bit. After that you proceed to section C. This is where you can hear everyone's interview. So many people got denied or turned around because they didn't have all the docs. If you can go with your fiance to this interview..please do! Those who were there without their partner were given a very hard time. Everyone was getting denied left and right and you could hear every reason why...not all the docs, not making enough money, one guy was being fraudulent. He had tried to sneak into the US before. Lots of people were lying when asked questions.....how did you meet, when, when did you get engaged, how, how do you know they love you, where is proof....ect. It was so scary to watch. Then our number was called....we got to the window and had to swear to tell the truth. She asked us how long we have been talking Andrew said Dec. 23, 2005..I said...no, it's 2006. Then she asked how we met and he said myspace.com. Then she got hard in asking well how is it the two of you got together, do you want to marry everyone there, do you date all who sends you a message...just gave him a hard time. He stutters a bit at times, but this time he was having an extremely hard time, so I asked if I could answer, she was rude and said no..he should no for himself. Finally she let me answer, truth is he went blank. Then she asked him when the wedding was and we said June and she told me in my statement of intent I out April, and I said yeah because I didn't know Jamaica would take so long so we had to push it back! Then she asked him what kind of work I do and he answered. Then she granted us the visa. Told us to have a happy marriage! I should have been happy, which I was, but I was so upset with Andrew because he forgot and tensed up..we went to airpack just across the street, and then we left. I apologized to Andrew, we made up and had a great day and I am looking forward to him being here soon. His family is not so happy because he is leaving. They feel like he is abandoning them. his mom won't speak to him and all....so much. if they only would remember how they felt when they found love..once you find it, you do what you have to to keep it and help it grow. We also went to the movies that night. It was his first time there at Carib. We went to see Step Up 2. I had already watched it before. It was a lovely evening and now my family and I are just awaiting his arrival....and our big day...June 7, 2008 @ 2pm!!! To God be the glory for all He has done!! He is good all the time and all the time He is good!!! Sorry so long, but I want you to have as much info about going to the interview as possible. If anyone has any questions, let me know. God bless you all!!

it's mostly cause visa fraud is so plentiful in JA why are so exact with everyone..most of the interviers are American

Exactly.....visa fraud. Plus, let's face it, it's come up again and again when couples have had problems on this site, that they didn't know each other well enough from the beginning.

This don't make no sense cause if the couple is already married then what can the Embassy really do or say to that? They can't prove the realtionship is a fraud. The relationship comes out being a fraud when the couple reaches the states and then it falls apart...embassy has nothing to do with it and I know its their job to protect the country, but its not their job to protect a person who made a choice to be in that relationship.

They can do plenty.....they can deny them and make them wait long periods of time to re-interview.

It is their job to protect the system from fraud. What do you think all those stupid safeguards are in place for? Regardless of what we might think of them, they have a purpose that had been defined and re-defined through trial and error. Sometimes I think they make us all jump through hoops just to see if we think it is worth it to go all the way through it.

Protecting who gets into the country involves protecting the people making the choices. Whether we like it or not, it's a fact.

Thank you! I don't even know what the I-130 is. Honestly never heard of it. Are you K-1 or K-3? I am K-1. Maybe that may be the difference. I can ask my lawyer for you if you need me too. I hope I didn't offend you. I wasn't talking about Marla in particular with the denials and all. There were so many!! Anyhow, let me know so I can look into it for you or gather info if I can.

No I-130 in the K-1 process.

No I-130 is not for the K-1 process that is only for K3 where you have to file the I-130 and then the I-129f

for the K1 you only file the I-129f

I should have been happy, which I was, but I was so upset with Andrew because he forgot and tensed up..we went to airpack just across the street, and then we left. I apologized to Andrew, we made up and had a great day and I am looking forward to him being here soon. His family is not so happy because he is leaving. They feel like he is abandoning them. his mom won't speak to him and all....so much. if they only would remember how they felt when they found love..once you find it, you do what you have to to keep it and help it grow. We also went to the movies that night. It was his first time there at Carib. We went to see Step Up 2. I had already watched it before. It was a lovely evening and now my family and I are just awaiting his arrival....and our big day...June 7, 2008 @ 2pm!!! To God be the glory for all He has done!! He is good all the time and all the time He is good!!! Sorry so long, but I want you to have as much info about going to the interview as possible. If anyone has any questions, let me know. God bless you all!!

Congratulations on the approval!!

Marla did'nt get denied, the lady told her everything will be fine just bring back proof of the file I-130. Did you have that form at the interview?

Thank you! I don't even know what the I-130 is. Honestly never heard of it. Are you K-1 or K-3? I am K-1. Maybe that may be the difference. I can ask my lawyer for you if you need me too. I hope I didn't offend you. I wasn't talking about Marla in particular with the denials and all. There were so many!! Anyhow, let me know so I can look into it for you or gather info if I can. We are all in this together!! Be blessed!!

No you did'nt offend me at all......K1 does'nt file I-130 ........I think all we have to do is wait for a follow-up appt to be sheduled but any extra info is always great. What day is your husband coming to America? Bought plane tickets? And how much?

it's mostly cause visa fraud is so plentiful in JA why are so exact with everyone..most of the interviers are American

Exactly.....visa fraud. Plus, let's face it, it's come up again and again when couples have had problems on this site, that they didn't know each other well enough from the beginning.

This don't make no sense cause if the couple is already married then what can the Embassy really do or say to that? They can't prove the realtionship is a fraud. The relationship comes out being a fraud when the couple reaches the states and then it falls apart...embassy has nothing to do with it and I know its their job to protect the country, but its not their job to protect a person who made a choice to be in that relationship.

They can do plenty.....they can deny them and make them wait long periods of time to re-interview.

It is their job to protect the system from fraud. What do you think all those stupid safeguards are in place for? Regardless of what we might think of them, they have a purpose that had been defined and re-defined through trial and error. Sometimes I think they make us all jump through hoops just to see if we think it is worth it to go all the way through it.

Protecting who gets into the country involves protecting the people making the choices. Whether we like it or not, it's a fact.

I understand the whole "protect the country" thing, but when were these people trained to judge true love is what I'm saying. I guess the system just seems so biased and in all honesty racially moticated at times cause I see so much of the corruption with illegals here in LA.

I don't think they are judging true love. I also don't think any of it is racially motivated. I think they are looking at the facts presented to them in the form of stories and documentation and using the knowledge they have built on over the years, some commen sense, plus the rules as presented to them and making informed judgements.

Sometimes I think they are right on. Others, I think they give way too much grief for.

Totally

Here goes.

How are interviews scheduled anyways? Do they set aside certain amount of interview appointments for K-1, K-3, IR-1, CR-1, visitors, working visas? Or do they just randomly schedule them, as the applications are approved? Any thoughts or ideas on this for you experienced ones?

what is the dress code for the interview? Jeans and Tims ok? or some dress slacks and shirt w/shoe's?

Firstly congrats to Gill!! We got approved on Tuesday as well!!!! You can wear whatever you want. There is no dresscode. If you have any shyness get rid of it because they talk to you through a speaker where everyone can hear what they say to you! We went there early, checked in. You have to the appt letter in your hand before they will let you in and they check for your name on the list. You go through security and metal detectors, and then take a short walk bacak to where the actual embassy is. You go to the check-in desk, the space is so small so make sure you stand where you can fit, but also so no one tries to take your spot in line. I carried a folder with dividers and all the forms very organized. The reception guy was so impressed. He asked for 4 photos, the DS 156/DS 157, the police, birth, non-impediment, and passport. He checked them and gave us a number and we went in and took a seat in section A. They called our number and requested the same docs the recptionist did, plus my tax info and I-134. She was tossing our stuff around, guess she was having a bad day, but then she asked me to stand to the left and let Andrew be in the center. She checked the docs, kept them and told us to proceed to section B. In section B, you just wait to be called for fingerprinting. Andrew had trouble with this. He is an electrical technician at Federated Pharmaceutical and they work him to the bone literally. The guy had trouble trying to get his fingerprints because they were rubbed off a bit. After that you proceed to section C. This is where you can hear everyone's interview. So many people got denied or turned around because they didn't have all the docs. If you can go with your fiance to this interview..please do! Those who were there without their partner were given a very hard time. Everyone was getting denied left and right and you could hear every reason why...not all the docs, not making enough money, one guy was being fraudulent. He had tried to sneak into the US before. Lots of people were lying when asked questions.....how did you meet, when, when did you get engaged, how, how do you know they love you, where is proof....ect. It was so scary to watch. Then our number was called....we got to the window and had to swear to tell the truth. She asked us how long we have been talking Andrew said Dec. 23, 2005..I said...no, it's 2006. Then she asked how we met and he said myspace.com. Then she got hard in asking well how is it the two of you got together, do you want to marry everyone there, do you date all who sends you a message...just gave him a hard time. He stutters a bit at times, but this time he was having an extremely hard time, so I asked if I could answer, she was rude and said no..he should no for himself. Finally she let me answer, truth is he went blank. Then she asked him when the wedding was and we said June and she told me in my statement of intent I out April, and I said yeah because I didn't know Jamaica would take so long so we had to push it back! Then she asked him what kind of work I do and he answered. Then she granted us the visa. Told us to have a happy marriage!

He checked them and gave us a number and we went in and took a seat in section A. They called our number and requested the same docs the recptionist did, plus my tax info and I-134. She was tossing our stuff around, guess she was having a bad day, but then she asked me to stand to the left and let Andrew be in the center. She checked the docs, kept them and told us to proceed to section B. In section B, you just wait to be called for fingerprinting. Andrew had trouble with this. He is an electrical technician at Federated Pharmaceutical and they work him to the bone literally. The guy had trouble trying to get his fingerprints because they were rubbed off a bit. After that you proceed to section C. This is where you can hear everyone's interview. So many people got denied or turned around because they didn't have all the docs. If you can go with your fiance to this interview..please do! Those who were there without their partner were given a very hard time. Everyone was getting denied left and right and you could hear every reason why...not all the docs, not making enough money, one guy was being fraudulent. He had tried to sneak into the US before. Lots of people were lying when asked questions.....how did you meet, when, when did you get engaged, how, how do you know they love you, where is proof....ect. It was so scary to watch. Then our number was called....we got to the window and had to swear to tell the truth. She asked us how long we have been talking Andrew said Dec. 23, 2005..I said...no, it's 2006. Then she asked how we met and he said myspace.com. Then she got hard in asking well how is it the two of you got together, do you want to marry everyone there, do you date all who sends you a message...just gave him a hard time. He stutters a bit at times, but this time he was having an extremely hard time, so I asked if I could answer, she was rude and said no..he should no for himself. Finally she let me answer, truth is he went blank. Then she asked him when the wedding was and we said June and she told me in my statement of intent I out April, and I said yeah because I didn't know Jamaica would take so long so we had to push it back! Then she asked him what kind of work I do and he answered. Then she granted us the visa. Told us to have a happy marriage! I should have been happy, which I was, but I was so upset with Andrew because he forgot and tensed up..we went to airpack just across the street, and then we left. I apologized to Andrew, we made up and had a great day and I am looking forward to him being here soon. His family is not so happy because he is leaving. They feel like he is abandoning them. his mom won't speak to him and all....so much. if they only would remember how they felt when they found love..once you find it, you do what you have to to keep it and help it grow. We also went to the movies that night. It was his first time there at Carib. We went to see Step Up 2. I had already watched it before. It was a lovely evening and now my family and I are just awaiting his arrival....and our big day...June 7, 2008 @ 2pm!!! To God be the glory for all He has done!! He is good all the time and all the time He is good!!! Sorry so long, but I want you to have as much info about going to the interview as possible. If anyone has any questions, let me know. God bless you all!!

Congratulations on the approval!!

Marla did'nt get denied, the lady told her everything will be fine just bring back proof of the file I-130. Did you have that form at the interview?

Thank you! I don't even know what the I-130 is. Honestly never heard of it. Are you K-1 or K-3? I am K-1. Maybe that may be the difference. I can ask my lawyer for you if you need me too. I hope I didn't offend you. I wasn't talking about Marla in particular with the denials and all. There were so many!! Anyhow, let me know so I can look into it for you or gather info if I can. We are all in this together!! Be blessed!!

No you did'nt offend me at all......K1 does'nt file I-130 ........I think all we have to do is wait for a follow-up appt to be sheduled but any extra info is always great. What day is your husband coming to America? Bought plane tickets? And how much?

Cool!! I am trying to get him here this weekend. I have not brought the plane tickets yet just in case it takes longer than intended. He's not my hubby yet...June 7th will be the day

!! This airpak express people never answer their phone. They have a visa tracking link, but it is not accepting the info so I just emailed them and I am still trying to call to get a status update. Again...it is the waiting game.

I'm going to fax it to him on saturday

what is the dress code for the interview? Jeans and Tims ok? or some dress slacks and shirt w/shoe's?

Firstly congrats to Gill!! We got approved on Tuesday as well!!!! You can wear whatever you want. There is no dresscode. If you have any shyness get rid of it because they talk to you through a speaker where everyone can hear what they say to you! We went there early, checked in. You have to the appt letter in your hand before they will let you in and they check for your name on the list. You go through security and metal detectors, and then take a short walk bacak to where the actual embassy is. You go to the check-in desk, the space is so small so make sure you stand where you can fit, but also so no one tries to take your spot in line.
