I don't know why all of a sudden I feel so nervous about my husband interview. Maybe because I don't know what they will ask him. I can't even take the time off to be there for his interview. So many different emotions are running thru my head right now.

anyone that has went thru the process is the interview questions hard in Kingston?

Congratulations.....I wish you two all the best.

Deniese,
Don't fret! The interview was easy. Please read my review. Since you filed for a CR-1 visa, they probably will not ask for a lot of the documents that K-1 & K-3 filers have to bring. At any rate, give your husband copies of all pertinent information (e.g. financial info, wedding & informal pictures). I have a check list that I made to double check every thing. Let me know if you would like a copy.

In the mean time, be sure to have your husband make an appointment for his medical. There are three Jamaican physicans that the Embassy uses.
Here is the link for more information-

Also, be sure that your husband has the blue version of his birth certificate & a police certificate.

You have total support from the Yardie thread! Let us know if you have any additional questions/concerns.

Take care,

Congrats Dimples I know you are relieved to be one step closer to hubby being here. Here is a list of questions that one of the yardies put up 6 months ago. It helped me and hubby prepare for the interview. It is just little tips for the interview. Also, in my embassy review, I put a list of questions that they asked me...All the best to you!

thanks but i filed for IR-1

also why would i need to sumbit another police certificate if NVC has forward them to Kingston Embassy?

NVC said that m husband didn't need to bring anything on the interview (other than pictures, marriage certificate, birth certificate).

I'm sitting here thinking how long after interview will it take for his passport to be stamped......so much is going thru my mind

It's always good to bring copies of the documents just in case anything is misplaced. You should be fine though; they had all our documents when we went for the interview. Since your interview is in March, remember to take copies of your tax returns for 2007 or your W2s.
I tend to think that they try to print the IR1/CR1 visas a little quicker than the K1 visas. It took less than a week for hubby to get his and I know of at least one other Jamaican couple who got theirs within a week. You may want to see if there are any recent IR1/CR1 applicants who just went through Kingston to see how long it took for them to get their visa. So happy for you!!!

FYI - You may see some questions on there that pertain to K1, but in general a good number of the questions will give you an idea of what is asked.

Congrats on your interview date Dimps. I am so happy for you. Sorry, I can't help you in that area but you can go to www.immihelp.com and they posts questions for different visas. I hope that helps.

Good luck and God speed.

Girl, relax and breathe. You are going to be just fine. You know we got you in our thoughts and prayers.

ya'll are so sweet and warm hearted I thank each and every one of you.

I got my letter it was mailed out 02/04

only thing I am going to send him is a copy of my 2007 W2's, current job letter, recent bank print out (there's nothing in there...lol), marriage & birth certificates.

Do you think that i should have my husband get another copy of police certificate since I did send both certficate rcv'd to NVC?

I wouldn't worry about it. What you are sending with him is sufficient enough.

We are here to help and support

I wrote in the answers to those questions that were posted and sent them to him with the taxes and all that stuff. if he knows those answers he should be all set.

I agree Jengles. I found myself giving hubby pop quizzes off the list that Empress posted

mr jengles had the interview the day after i had the baby and called me and 3:30am while i'm in the hospital resting after having his baby to clarify some of my answers. I was and still am VEX about that. but the lady grilled him, but keep in mind that all they have is the info from the ds-320 I think its. The bio form, so if you still have a copy of that and can review it with him, then u are straight.

I also sent him some questions that I filled out what I could for him. he claims that he's not worry about the interview but I am. I just don't want them to trick him into answering a question incorrectly.

I don't have a copy of the DS-230 application that I can put my finger on @ the moment but I will continue to look for it.

Don't worry my dear. Don't let it stress you and don't stress him out You're going to make him nervous when he goes. There were some officers that seem really mean, but I really don't think they're out to trick you; so I know he will do fine.

Congrats on your Interview!!! I'm sure he'll do just fine, and soon you'll be together an celebrating.

I told my husband last night that he needs to get another police certificate he put up a stink bout him naw go ah kingston how him kno like Kingston....

He doesn't like Kingston but he has to go there for his medical and the interview so it's on him... he'll get over it.

CONGRATS Dimps ...Chica, trust me...I feel the same way! Last night I actually had a panic attack!! Ken had to talk me through and told me to have faith! The Lord hasn't carried us this far to let us down now.

I am just taking my time and going through ALL of my docs. Also any questions I have I call 202.663.1225- Visa #. They are REALLY nice! They have answere amillion of my dumb-a$$ questions

You and hubby will be fine!

Bless-ed,

They pretty much ask basic questions......

Andre was asked my kids' names and how old they were, If he met them, if he was ready to be a father.....what I did for a living....where he would live.....what he planned to do in the US.

He was asked where and when we met, how often I visited him, and when the last visit was.

That was pretty much it.



I ALWAYS suggest he get an extra certified birth certificate to bring to the US with him. Believe me when I say it is a big hassle to try and get one once he is here.

Girl,

I get the same thing from my fiancee. He telling me he don't feel like getting up so early and dealing with all the traffic. I told him to stop his (*&#$( whining and get his rass up there by tomorrow. He has to get a copy of his police certificate since he was arrested a few years ago for a fight, but never charged, photographed or fingerprinted. I just want to make sure it's not on there. I was advised by someone that works at another embassy that I should disclose it. I don't know how the embassy CO would know about it, if it's not on the certificate. I just don't want any surprised. Besides he can explain what happens and we checked with the Court in Montego Bay and they have no records on him.

I'll pray for you and your husband.

2 questions about interview

1. does my wife have to have my original passport for her interview?

2. How much money does my wife have to have at the time of her interview? (visa fee? and what else?)

We are doing k-3

Also does my wife schedule the medical or does the consulate?

No......That passport should stay with you at all times.

She'll needs the courier fee.....which was $40 US. I thought I heard it went up a bit since we went through.

Your wife schedules the medical.

Do I have to make the medical interview for my husband in Jamaica or do he have to make that on his own? The letter didn't state who has to make the appointment.

Also should we/he call now to make the appointment or should we wait closer to interview date?
