The pre-screener asked me what day I got there but I was so nervous I couldn't remember the date!

It seems that they will sometimes ask questions that have already been answered on your forms. I think this is the old detective trick of asking questions to see if your answers agree with information you may have given before.

Yes, you can go with her. The pre-screener is just at a window, not an interview room. My fiance was so nervous she was shaking. I was very polite and stood to the side holding the papers, but the pre-screener asked me for the I-134 and supporting docs, then asked me some questions. The pre-screeners seem to be very rushed and stern, but that's probably just because thay have to push a lot of people through, and they know some of them are lying. Yes, she asked me what day I got there on that trip for the interview. She also asked me how many times I visted, and for how long. She asked us each if we had ever been married, and if either of us had any children. She was shuffling through the papers the whole time she was talking. She asked for 2 photos of us together, and 1 letter (snail mail) from each of us. Our case was fairly simple, no marriages, no kids, all "clean" docs.

Seems to me the CO asked something like that too, and my fiance said "because he's the one to prove he was serious to me", or something like that.

What questions the consul asked?

thank you for any help....

Be sure to know everything on your fiances Biographic form and any other forms or evidence that were previously submitted.
Woody and H
CO questions usually varies depending on what is stated on your forms. What the pre screener would ask you is also the kind of Q's the CO would ask.. Here are some of the questions the CO asked of me during my interview..

Where and when did i first meet my fiance
> Filipinaeyes.com January of 2007

Do you have a profile over that site
> We both have our own profiles

Who contacted who first
> He did. He sent me an email

How many times did he visited you and when was that
> Two times. First visit was last May 2007 for 21 days. Second visit was last October for 10 days

How many times was he married before and why did both marriages ended
> He was divorced twice both on the grounds of irreconcilable differences

Aren't you disturbed or worried about this
> No ma'am I'm not

Aside from the grounds of irreconcilable differences, what did he told you happened with both marriages
> ( confidential )

Does he have any drinking problems
> No ma'am he doesn't. Like me, we're both casual drinkers

What attracted you most about him.Why did you choose him over other men courting you
> His outgoing nature. He is a very honest man,very straightforward and we blend too well

How many siblings does he have
> They are nine in the family..two dead

Wow, a big family
> His mother married twice



All in all, the questions they will ask you are basic q's which if you knew your partners so well..it would be very easy to answer it regardless of how complicated some of the Q's are..PRESENCE OF MIND..listen carefully to every Q..and do not be nervous..it will all be easy in the end..
haroldmarichelle
Most of the questions were very simple. The pre-screener questions, when and where we meet, how long our relationship been going on. The consular questions do i have a house here, what nature of work and the name of the company where i work for. Dont forget lots of passport size pictures.

I take it that your fiance will be with you to calm your nerves. Someone posted a list of questions in here and I think that's good enough of a practice for you. I'm sure you'll do great.

I had my husband, fiance then, with me during the interview but he was asked not to take part in the interview.

I was getting impatient since the consular officer took ample time to browse through the pages of my visa
application papers. And then he asked me about this Hollywood actress and we ended up talking about books and his years in Cornell Univ. biggrin.gif Nothing about my relationship with my fiance or about me, strange, isn't it?

Just do all the necessary preparations you need, and always be consistent and truthful with your answers, as what is expected from the applicants.

edited: miss a couple of t's..
David-Mae Forever
The CO asked me "What is his favorite color?" while looking at David's emails that are in pink, blue, green, purple, red as font colors. When I answered black, gray and yellow, he gave me that teasing smile as if he's saying "Hmmm... are you sure that's all?".

There's always one and ultimate question - sometimes more (like Ms. Universe winning question) that you will really have to sound convincing and sincere. Mine was "How sure are you that you will be the last wife?" wacko.gif I was tempted to say "World peace! We need world peace!" laughing.gif laughing.gif laughing.gif

There's this one applicant before me who was asked "Why did you want to marry him? Don't tell me it's because you love me. What other reasons?" The girl said, "But I do love him, Sir" and she got rattled and tensed she was nearly in tears after the interview. If I was asked that question, I would have said "First, I really want to marry him because I love him, I really do. As for other reasons, it's because I have waited for so long for the right person to come into my life and I knew that he's the one."

Having said all these, you should be prepared for unexpected questions. If you really know your fiance/husband with all your heart, you will pass the interview with flying colors. Sure you'll be nervous... and the truth always comes out especially when your nervous.
