My experience for the Visa Interview.

I got to the US embassy at 6.30am and the lady in front of the embassy asked me to come back at 7.15 since my appointment letter was still stating of an interview on May 4 because the embassy changed the date to be on May 12 and they needed to check with the people inside first. I got in at 7.30 and submitted all my documents at the Window 5. They called my name at 9.50 am.

Here are the questions that the interviewer asked me.

1. Who is in the US?

2. I assumed that you got the K-1 before in year 2005 then what happened?

3. When did you come back to Thailand?

4. Was your husband come back with you at the time?

5. When did he go back to the US after living in the Thailand?

6. Where is he now and what does he do?

7. When was your child birthday?

Then he said, it looked like there is no problem for this case so your visa is approved, please come back and pick it up on May 14. He gave me the small paper and the lady gave me back all the documents.

Thank you everyone for all your support. :)

Thank you everyone for all your support. :)
