Yesterday I had mi Cr1 interview at the Guatemala Embassy. The security people were simply rude. They didn't let me take my keys inside because of the alarm control. Then I asked if I could leave them with them and they said: " No, for security reasons". So I said, what am I supposed to do, you guys ask on your website for the person to come alone.

And they said "Leave it inside the car". At that point I did give up since I figured they were not very smart.

Thanks God the people in the parking lot next to the embassy are very familiar with the situation and they were nice enough to take care of my keys.

At the interview place they were lots of people, you can hear what they are saying to all of them and I did notice that A LOT of people were sent home because of their paperwork was not in order or they were missing some kind of paper.

I waited and hour and a half for them to call me the first time, they went through my paperwork and asked me about the person sponsoring me and they took my medical exams.

Then I had to wait another hour for them to call me again for the actual interview. There were the consul and his assitant. He was very nice, sweet, and polite. She was scarry she raised her voice more than once to the people she was interviewing and she didn't seem to enjoy speaking in Spanish.

And yes.....I did get her of course :wacko: . She seemed reliefed to see that I spoke English. The questions were:

1) Why do you have a UK police certificate?

2) Where you married before?

3) With this person?

4) Why did the marriage end?

5) How long was I married?

6) If I have been separated from my ex for 5 years why did it took me four to get a divorce?

7) Did I travel to the U.K to get a divorce?

6) How and where did I meet my current husband?

7) When did the relationship turn romantic?

8) Where has my husband lived before. List places

9) How ofted did we see each other? I showed them the photocopy of his passport and phone bills

10) SHe was my photo albums and asked to see some pictures of when we were dating. I showed her around 7 she said that was enough. She asked for every pictured when it was taken and where.

11) How many guests were there at your wedding?

12) Have you ever had problems with the law in this country, the U.S. or any country?

13) How long have you been married?

13)Then she asked picture of my wedding I took two out and scanned through the album, she said that was enough.

13) She said, Everything is in order your Visa has been granted!!!!!!

It did help that I spoke English, that Robin was VERY careful about the paper work and everything was well organized.

That I had all the copies of what he sent. And I only answered yes or no, or gave a brief explanation to her question.Afterwards I asked her a couple of more questions and she turned out to be super nice!!!!

Thank you God for beign with me every ste of the way!!! :innocent::thumbs::star:
