Preparing for my interview, HELP VJ'ers

[dyd4u2 0]

Hello my VJ family

I'm preparing my interview for K-3 Visa at the US Embassy in Jakarta. Can someone please advice me of what to expect in the interview.... What will be the questions about? and how long will it takes?

In the US embassy official website it is mentioned that one of the document that I need to prepare for the interview is proof of relationships (but they didn't mention about it on the list of document preparation that was sent to us from the NVC and Jakarta Consular).

My question, what kind of documents that I can used as proof of relationship?

We sent affidavits proof of ongoing marriage relationships to the USCIS back when we were applying for the I-130 and I-129 petitions, so can we use that too as proof of relationships?

Thank you so much for your kind reply.

Some proofs of on-going relationship..

Pictures

Chat logs

E-mail

Letters or Cards

Proof of remittances

Phone bills

You could bring anything that proves your relationship as a couple.. Affidavits is an additional proof, too..

Goodluck!

I was on K-1, but I don't think the requirements for interview would be that much different from K-3. Also met somebody who went for K-3 interview on the day and she needed the same things as I did. So these are what you need to bring other than affidavit of support:

Pictures (from the time when you were still dating, wedding, and after you are married).

Proof of employment from employer stating your position and annual salary (original).

Pay stubs (the last 3-6 months, copies are fine).

Proofs of assets (home ownership, 401k account, etc. Copies are fine).

Complete copy of the package(s) you sent to USCIS from the US (the consul made a very positive comment when he saw that I had the identical copy of the I-29F package... so it's a good sign).

If you or your spouse was married before, make sure you have certified copy of your divorce decree. The lady I met who came for K-3 interview was grilled during the interview because she couldn't bring solid proof of her divorce. They asked her to come back again. You surely don't want this to happen.

I also brought copy of my husband's (then fiance) passports as proof that he came to visit me, and certified copy of his birth certificate (the consul didn't ask for all of these, but we thought it would be wise to prepare because we read on VJ that different consulates asked for them).

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Ooh... as for the interview itself...

From what I saw the day I went for my interview, if things going well (no problem with paperworks) it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes. All of people that I met for family based visa that day and had their interview for more than 10 minutes were not approved. So I think long interview almost always means that the consul sees red flag in a case (for one reason or another). Mine was very short... 5 minutes or so, but had to wait for more than 3 hours before they called me in!

The questions are very basic... like:

When, where, and how I met my fiance

What was my fiance's job

Did my fiance ever meet my parents

Just be sure to stay calm It's really not that bad!

In general the questions are simple. They are not the same for a K 1 type visa. Your proof of relationship is your marrage rather than pictures ect required for K 1 types.

Ours was a K 3 as well. How did you meet? how long have you been married? Children? Where will you be living in the USA? Questions anyone starting a new life together can easily answer.

Other than that just comply with the Packet 3 instructions & you will have no problem.

How long is the interview? Thats a product of your ability to answer the questions & how many they ask. Our was 10 minutes but it wasnt in Jakarta.

You will find the hardest part is behind you already.

Thank you so very much, but I think I will eliminate the proof of my employments and pay stubs and proof of assests, I had to prepare that kind of documents when I was applying for my tourist visa to Australia and it was required for number of revelant reason. I am going to stick with what mentioned in the email from the consulate about the document preparations list. I dont want to make it too complicated and confusing, since it is K3 Visa, not K1.

God bless :)

Great insight, Thank you so much. I'm very much agree with you, it's really making sense to me (that's probably why the consulate didn't mentioned about proof of relationship in the document list, because we've passed that process when we sent the petition to the USCIS).

Im going to bring some pictures of me and my husband, affidavits of ongoing marriage relationships, copy of our emails, other proof of our communication, and we also filling our tax together this year, so that can be another extra documents.

Tell me what do you think about that... again, thank you.

God Bless.

Err... what I meant was proof of employment and pay stubs of the USC, not of the foreign spouse. The consul took those documents from me (and also the lady who came for K-3 that I met) during document screening (prior to interview). It's part of proofs for the affidavit of support (I think K-1 and K-3 has the same affidavit of support?). But it's your choice though.

The fact that you are married is enough proof of relationship along with anything that indicates you have been together in person or in spirt. These officers do this many times & know the difference in lies & truths. Your approach to this will result in success.

You are well prepared for what will come & should have no problem.

They did not ask much in jakarta. "Have you even been to the US" (no) "What does your husband do there", "Have you ever met your husband's family" (talked to them etc but never met in person) My wife had a lot of ####### with her (a whole case of it) but they didn't ask to see any of it. They said come back the day after tomorrow and pick up your passport.

That means bring lots of stuff, you never know, but in our case it took all of 5-10 minutes and she was outa there.
