Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Review #33144 on April 25, 2024:

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancée was in and out easily enough, but visa initially denied because they hadn't seen a *second* orgiginal of my divorce certificate (without which the original I-139F would never have been issued in the first place). She ended up having to travel to Rio again, just to hand one in personally to ASC.

They were very nice and the questions were straightforwards. If you have a Quebec birth certificate I’d suggest to get a certified translation as I was asked for one (glad I had it on me). The questions included: how long you’ve been engaged? When did we meet? Do we have any kids? What does my fiancé do for living? And if it was our first marriage.

The interview process was quite smooth and the interviewer was very nice and kind. In my opinion, as long as you prepare all the documents they ask for, they will not be harsh on you.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Had my appointment at 8:15am, was let in at the gates at 7:55am.
Passed through security, they require you to empty your pockets and take off your belt, watch and jacket.
This all gets X-rayed.
(Car)keys are not permitted, so they kept them in a numbered box and gave you a piece of paper to retrieve if after the interview.

You go up to booth 5, which is labeled cashier, with your passport and DS-260 confirmation page, which then gets scanned.
You’re given a number and told to go to whichever booth is displayed on the screen, next to your number.

This employee looks at your civil documents, confirms a few things and takes your fingerprints.
You’re then told to sit back down and wait until your number gets called again.

This time you go to a US official that takes your interview.
They make you take an oath, check your documents again, then ask you a few questions.
In my case these were: What job my wife does, what job I do, how we met, when we first met in person and when we last met in person.
There was some small-talk in between the questions, it’s all a fairly relaxed experience.
I was also given a document to sign confirming my knowledge of it being a conditional permanent residency, and a little paper with information about if you’d fall victim to domestic abuse.

After this, the officer mentioned I was approved and should get an email with further information about the tracking of my passport.

You leave the building, retrieve your kept items, and head out into the street.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview went okay. Information is Just the same as every body else’s here. Was asked 20+ questions.

Please note tho…. If your appointment is 1, do not go too earlier than 1. They won’t let you in until that time. 1pm interviews are for persons on filing so they definitely won’t let you in until 1.

In addition to this, if you are able to do the medical before the interview that would be amazing. If no dates are available at Andrews until after then it’s fine, but your process will be severely delayed. If you have your blue immunization health card that says you are fully immunized, take the card to a health institution and compare it to the list of vaccines you will need to enter the US and take those vaccines before you actually do the medical. Three of the vaccines I realized that most persons had to take at the medical that is not on your vaccination card are TDAP, vaccine for influenza and vaccine for chicken pox. Most of us had to get those at the clinic growing up. You will also need Covid vaccine. You will have the choice to take them here or in the US, but you will have to get them.

Andrews is slow and complacent so do all u can to not let your process be delayed. I did my interview on March 5, 2024, medical on March 15 2024 and my medical was just sent to the embassy. I’m writing this on April 23,2024.

All the best. Have any questions, email me at paulajoshery@gmail.com
