My fiancé had his interview yesterday 4-25-2016 at 9:30 am. I decided to go with him to his interview after reading some of the positive feedback on here about the petitioner also attending. After finally making it through the horrible Monday morning Kingston traffic we arrived at 8:00am. There were 3 lines, an 8:30am, 9:00am, and 9:30am line. We waited in the 9:30 line for about an hour . The guard outside the embassy needed us to present the printed DS-160 confirmation page, the printed appointment/instructions page, 2 passport sized photos and his passport. Of course I needed my passport also. After the guard checked the DS-160 confirmation page she told us to put it away, and after that we didn't need to show it anymore. We then went through security. Make sure you have no electronics, liquids, or gels, like lotion, Chapstick or lipstick, and also no food. We were directed to another line where a clerk tells you where to sit. He asked us were we there for filing and the answer was yes. We sat outside from 9:00am to 11:30am. There were people who arrived at 8:30 sitting outside with us. We saw many people who came after us come and go and we were still waiting. It appears that everyone interviewing for permanent vs temporary 6 month visas wait the longest so be patient. Bring Jamaican money just in case you get hungry, they do have a food stand. Finally at 11:30 we were directed to go inside where we stood in another line and after that waited again. Around 12:15 he was called to a window and gave his information to a very nice female Jamaican agent who asked for his medical results, police record, certificate of no impediment, birth certificate, I-134, my 2014 and 2013 tax transcripts, my 2015 W-2's (I received an extension on my 2015 taxes, I am a licensed health care professional in good standing for many years so i believe this fact does matter), and his passport with the 2 passport pics. No one asked for us to show any proof of the relationship. We then waited until about 1:15pm and he was called to interview with one of the 3 US agents. There were 2 women and one man. In my personal opinion the man was the hardest of the three. He spoke very loud and you could practically hear the entire conversation between him and the interviewees. I felt he purposely tried to confuse everyone and he asked the same questions in a different way. Because the male agent was so loud my fiancé heard him ask someone where did your fiancé attend college and he asked me immediately where because it was so long ago I never told him lol. I was praying the entire time he would not get him. Anyhow my fiancé was called to one of the female agents who he said was very pleasant and joked with him the entire time. She asked him these questions.
Have you ever traveled outside jamaica?
Have you ever been arrested?
Where does your fiancé live?
(The interviewer also asked him did I ever tell him how cold it gets in Chicago? After this question. )
How long have you known your fiancé?
How many times has your fiancé been here to visit?
When was her last visit?
How old are you today?
What is your occupation?
What is your fiancé's occupation?
What university did your fiancé attend?
Did you ever attend University?
Do you plan to continue your studies in the United States?
She then looked at him and said he can pick up his visa at DHL in about a week! Best of luck!
To those of you this may help I am female and I am 19 years older than my fiancé ( But I'm often told I look like I'm 29 years old ;-). I had read on here so many times that Older female younger male are scrutinized a lot more, which had me so worried and the topic never came up at the interview. Also me and my fiancé have known each other just short of one year. We fit two of the big stigmas and because we are a real genuine couple it did not matter. Good luck to everyone and thank you for all the great advice on this site!! Now on to our next journey because we know it is not over yet.
