Hello all!

 

So happy to see so many approvals! Good luck to all! Our interview is tomorrow. Do we have to take copies of the P1 and P3 just in case? Or can we just take the only any originals with us? Just to confirm, the Xrays are not needed at the interview. Correct? Any other tips or info we should know? We need a refresh. Please.

Your probably already there, but I told my fiance to just be honest, bring copies and originals of everything she had  and sincere, that seemed to work(mostly, she forgot her original acta naciemeinto, even though she had it she brought a copy) 

I didn't get to talk to her until late last night to debrief, but she overall she had good things to say. Even the person who had denied her tourist visa prior came by, which cased a bit of ohh no moment, but it seemed they where just doing their job. She said everyone was great and treated her well, she felt she was being welcomed into the USA as the treatment and process differed greatly from the tourist visa, got a few well wishes along the way too. 

 

FYI. 

They did place a lot of focus on seeing originals, they wanted to see my original divorce decree, W-2's,acta de nacimeinto, as well as  asked to see new evidence. They returned the photos I submitted during the 1-129 to her during the interview as well. Very well organized overall.

Good to know! We are starting to prep for P3 now and will definitely make sure to include additional evidence (we have 2 additional trips together to show since our original petition). I'm gonna have my fiance bring originals of everything, even the plane tickets just to be safe 😅

Hola chicos, quick question:

 

The most current P3 instructions for the divorce decree say:

 

8. DIVORCE DECREE of Petitioner and/or applicant: Proof of the termination of any previous marriage must also be submitted. You must present the Divorce Decree issued by the Court and the Marriage entry with the marginal annotation issued by the Civil Registry.

 

This seems to have been updated recently. Does anyone know if we need to get the marriage certificate (acta de matrimonio) as well or will just the divorce decree be okay? 

BTW for us, all they asked for was the divorce degree but they DID WANT to see originals.

My fiance too!  The only thing that suprised him a little bit at the interview (after reading all of these forums and feeling mostly prepared) was that he was planning on speaking Spanish to feel less nervous but the person interviewing him asked if he spoke English and then directed all of the questions in English so my fiance answered in English.  His English is pretty good and they complimented him on it, so it wasn't really a problem, but I assumed they would have given him a choice to have the interview in English or Spanish.

My fiance was also asked if she spoke English( she said no) , so the interview was in Spanish. They did ask if I spoke Spanish, and I do, so I think it may matter if her answer to that question was no, because it will be questionable on how we can have a relationship and communicate.

A nosotros nos dijeron lo mismo.

I know from other posts that you can politely ask to be switched over to the language you feel comfortable with or whatever.

Hello everyone! Congrats on being approved! You are one step closer!

Personally, I received the email with the tracking number 2 bussiness days later the day of the interview. I had the interview on a Thursday and I received the tracking on a Monday.

Aqui estan los detalles:

 

Llegamos a la embajada y nos presentamos a un guardia que estaba cerca de la ventana de los U.S. Citizens ya que yo (Petitioner) estaba ahi. Me dijeron que fuera con el chico que estaba moviendo la fila y le dijera que eramos Visa No Inmigrante K1. El chico nos paso a la ventana por encima de la fila y nos entregaron una carpeta verde con un papel que decia que ibamos directo a la ventana 4 y 5. Luego nos pasaron de una por seguridad. No deben tener celulares ni cosas electronicas, metales, etc. Yo tenia una cartera solo con el monedero y cosas personales y aretes puestos. Pase sin problema. Mi comprometido evito ponerse correa por si ponian problema. Luego vas a la ventana 4 y como te ven con la carpeta de una te pasan por el lado de la fila y ahi te hacen las huellas digitales. Despues vas a la 5 y tambien nos fuimos directo al policia y le dijimos lo de Visa No Inmigrante K1 y nos paso a recepcion sin hacer fila. Ahi ya sabian quienes eramos y nos dijeron de ir al otro extremo del cuarto donde estan las sillas. Mientras esperabamos pusimos los originales que pedian. No teniamos mucho ya que muchas cosas eran digitales originales en nuestro P3. Pusimos su pasaporte, dos fotos de pasaporte, el RNR, DS160 y el acta de nacimiento. Te piden cosas como w2 y eso originales, pero las mias los originales son los mismos del P3 asi que no pusimos nada de eso. Llaman a una ventana donde entregas la carpeta con lo que piden y necesitas entregar o pruebas extras que quieras. Si te falta algo te dicen y puedes darselo. Al final llamaron a mi comprometido y entro a un cuarto donde esta el oficial con otra ventanita pero estan ambos sentados.

 

Recuerden que en nuestro caso la mujer es la U.S. Petitioner y el hombre es el beneficiario.

 

Le preguntaron:

 

Cual es el nombre de tu comprometida?

Cuantas veces se vieron en persona?

Alguna vez has cometido un crimen?

Que si tu comprometida es americana nativa (nacida)?

Que si tu comprometida es hispanohablante?

Como te vas a ganar la vida en EEUU?

A que te dedicas?

Y si eres desemplead@ te preguntan como para saber que has hecho ese tiempo y cual fue tu ultimo trabajo?

 

Le dijeron que estaba aprobado y que la visa le llegaba en unos 7 dias laborales. Le entregaron la mayoria o mejor dicho el P3 casi todo con sus derechos en USA.

 

El oficial fue muy cordial y cero hostil. Todos fueron muy buenos y cordiales. La espera fue bastante porque ese dia habian varias visas de todo (familia, comprometidos y trabajo). Llegamos a las 10:05 y estuvimos ahi hasta casi las 12:30-13:00. La entrevista duro como 10 minutos o menos. El salio tan rapido que pense que lo negaron o que salio a pedir mas papeles y evidencia. Solo llevamos originales, nada del P1 o P3 pero si los tenia conmigo en Argentina por si habia problema con algo.

 

Espero que esto les sirva de ayuda a muchos.
