CR-1 INTERVIEW

[OPTIMUS999 0]

Hello, I am new to this site. I came to this site because my wife has a CR-1 (Spouse Visa) Visa interview next week. I had called the embassy in Lima, the NVC, and the USCIS each of them told us that she not has to bring any required documents for the interview. The only exception is that she must bring her medical exam and proof of our relationship. I sent her copies of the Affidavit of Support, plane ticket information, phone records, e-mail, pictures, and tax information. We were wondering would she need copies of the documents that we gave the NVC and the USCIS. For example, like the I-130 or the g-325A? Another question that I have is that what documents will be shown to her during the interview? Will she at all see the I-130 and the g-325A during the interview? Are any questions asked from these documents? The reason is because my wife knows were I current live and work, but she doesn't know every place I lived and worked. Will they tell her the date the documents were sent in?

I would like to hear about how is the interview process. Also my wife keeps telling me that her approval is guaranteed. Our relationship is real and we've got proof it is real, but should I yet be worried about this? I mean being to over confident. What type of questions do they ask? And how long before she get the visa once she is approved? What exact documents are given back after the interview?

Thank You

Make sure your wife has a copy of everything you have submitted; The officer can test you on your knowledge of what is on the application or any document that you submitted. Documentation of everything is always good to have because you want to prevent from having to get a blue slip and delay the process, not to mention the emotional and financial stress. If he/she asks you about the wedding, it would be nice to say, yes, x people were there, and here are some pictures. Photos of you together, wedding, honeymoon, time with friends, visits are standard; phone records, e-mails, letters...anything that substantiates your relationship. In the end, if the relationship is a bonafide one and she sticks to the truth, answers to the point... there's no reason why the CO would deny it. It really isn't about being confident that you'll get approval, its about just being real, honest and being yourself.

Here's a great list of documents one vj-er took with her. I plan for my wife to take something like this too.
