CR-1 Interview and Quesitons/What to expect?

[Panki 0]

Hello ALL,

WOW, the time has finally come - Interview!!! Even with all the assurances and the paperwork (and then some!!!) that I have sent to my wife, she is nervous and has a lot of anxiety. I just wanted to ease her concerns, by asking the forum, what type of QUESTIONS they ask for CR1 type interviews?

Can someone who went through this process or knows of a previous post/link, please send to me. I really would appreciate any and all feedback. It has been such a LONG LONG Journey and I want to make sure that we are fully prepared.

THANKS TO ALL FOR BEING A GREAT SUPPPORT AND INFO PORTAL!!!! Good day and thanks again in advance. Look forward to your responses.

TIMELINE - Interview in 2nd week of JULY!!!!

You can go through this link and download the doc file, lotto has put forth a whole list of questions.

And also on a side note, since I see you are from Delhi consulate, so make sure your wife does bring a lot of photos of the wedding, pictures of you both with all the guests, at least 20 guests other than family members, plus receipts of wedding hall, caterer, other vendors, like car rental, flower rental. Also get affidavits from family and friends stating how they know both of your relationship as husband and wife, make sure these are notarized statements.

I am not sure what kind of a wedding you had, if you had a small family wedding then do make sure to write down a notarized statement that you had a small wedding and didn't have many attendance.

Delhi is notorious for asking these kind of proofs.

Best of luck

Thanks Silent,

Do you know the process of Courier Fees and VFS etc. My wife interview is on coming Tuesday and I just found out about this. Can you share if she needs to go to VFS and pay a fee for couriering the passport and visa prior to the Interview? She only has 1 day on Monday if sha has to do this.

Thanks in advance ! Bye

(*I will post this again in case others may have done this as well)
