Interview Question Examples

[amaraimee 109]

Hello, everyone!

My fiance has his K-1 Interview on March 20 in Johannesburg. I will be attending with him, and we want to "practice" some questions beforehand. Not that he doesn't know certain ones, he literally knows everything about me and our relationship (more than I do, probably), BUT we both think that practicing questions may help ease his nerves a bit. After all, this is a BIG deal.

SO, what I'm asking is for anyone who has gone through the interview process within this month or the last few months to let me know what kind of questions they asked. I know it's different for each couple, but I'm just curious as to which questions were asked to YOU (or your Fiance). This isn't just Johannesburg, any embassy interview works

Thank you in advance!

This can be consulate specific. See reviews of South Africa consulates:

Here is a long list, but be aware that it is more geared toward India:

 

And one list started by a Nigeria user:

 

When in doubt, use the search feature of this site to look through old posts. It is very powerful.

I would suggest looking at embassy reviews in your country portal on this website and see what people say there. I think you’re probably worrying too much and there really is no need to prepare for the interview if you are a real couple. I was barely asked anything, two questions and only one of them was relationship related. The whole interview lasted between 45 seconds to a minute if that.

In my humble point of view, you'd better talk to your fiance about YOUR relationship, because the interview is not random, is about you guys, so nobody can know the answers like you both.

It is my advice, my interview was about my relationship, I meant when we meet, etc

The CO haven't a crystal ball, so be honest

 

Good luck!!!!

Hi! 

I actually just stumbled across your post and thought I'd chime in. I had my K1 interview at the JHB embassy just over a year ago, and here I am about to have my green card interview next week! 
 

In terms of the K1 interview itself, it's actually pretty laid back. The questions are things like "how did you meet? do you have any kids? what does your spouse do? do you have any other family in the US? what do you plan on doing once you get there?". They'll probably have taken his fingerprints and gathered his documents and payment before the actual interview, then he'll just wait a bit before he's called up to the counter. The interviewer will ask the questions and probably try to seem interested and friendly, all the while clacking away at their keyboard recording his answers to their questions. 

 

Good luck! 

 

Oh, also, I would suggest that he takes the payment in cash. Their card facilities are not particularly reliable and it is no fun having to run to the ATM midway through this whole saga!

Awesome, that sounds pretty relaxed! Thank you!
I think they may have changed the payment process, as we already paid our fee online and are only required to bring our proof of payment.
