K-1 Visa interview experience

[Andiep 7]

I feel like once people went through the interview process they forget about this website and about all the people waiting to hear back about their experience. 

My Fiance and I are pending the interview and studying dozens of "most common questions asked" ... But would love to have your personal experience with the interview and most importantly WHAT DID THEY ASK YOU? 

I think this site is lacking the support of AFTER receiving/ or not the Visa.

 

PLEASE comment below, tell us how your interview went and help the rest of us. ❤️❤️

Here's what my fiancé (now husband) was asked at his interview in Casablanca:

Questions at Casa will depend on whether or not there are red flags

normal interview is 

how and when did you first start talking?

when did you meet in person ?

How many times have you been together?

if USC is divorced ,  when and why?

if USC has children how many and ages?

the CO may ask about other family 

they can ask anything like USC favorite color or entertainment

 

if they have reason to doubt the validity of the relationship , the CO is known to throw in a trick question

like "what did the USC have for breakfast?"   answer would be USC is not up yet as the time is a quite a bit different

not she likes coffee and cheese or something else

BTW they know from your application if there is any prior marriages and the trips

so, if there is a doubt about anything,  the CO will ask for dates of when things happened

 

but mostly,  in reality,  the interview and outcome is going to depend on your "face time together",  how long you have known each other and whether or not there are any red flags

RJandHamd went thru a successful K1 interview and they can add a lot more

I have seen no end of interview experiences.

 

I think the common theme is how anti climatic they were, normally just a couple of questions, certainly was in my case.

Here is a little trick from VJ where those who you might have thought forgot about editorializing their interview experience. Tap on your flag in your profile in the column on the left side of this page. There you will experience a TON of information on your journey. It pays to get out of your comfort zone and explore. Try the different links from the blue ribbon above and see what unfolds before your eyes. Best of luck with your upcoming interview.

and i do wish people would keep up their timelines as there is no way to come up with good stats when they do not follow thru telling of an approval or denial and how the move to the US is going and the further process to citizenship

 

as for stats from USCIS you can check month by month and embassy by embassy to see how many applications are approved on the following site

(for all classes of visa applications)

you should always be reading the embassy reviews and the post there 

you should also know that when you check the USCIS embassy site i gave you for K1 approvals ,  that the approvals are a small fraction of the K1 interviews that take place at the Casa embassy

it is an extremely hard embassy

[Marieke H 2,301]

I think others have already pointed out where you can find what you're looking for. However, be careful with studying interview questions like you're doing. The interview is simply a conversation about your relationship, and you don't want it to look like your fiancé(e) has memorized answers to every possible question; that would look suspicious.

 

My interview was in Amsterdam, so very different from yours. I just got some basic questions about where and how we met, and why I wanted to move to him instead of him moving to the Netherlands. I was also asked why someone like me who was pursuing a PhD would want to marry a pizza delivery guy, and if he was capable of having "smart conversations". COs are trained to ask questions that may make you feel uncomfortable so they can see how you respond.

My K1 visa interview was in London. It was a much less intense interview than I expected. I spent less than 5 minutes talking to the officer. She was busy photocopying some of my documents whilst asking me questions and she only asked me how many times we have met each other (we had two visits in England and three in America across that two year period) and the other question was where she lives and what her job is I think. She then told me I was done and they were happy to approve me (still dependent on customs officer decision at U.S. Airport)

Do you advice to apply for the embassy in Rabat and not the one in CASA

Visa interviews are done in Casa not Rabat

i believe for students studying abroad you can apply to Rabat but still would interview in Casa (I can be wrong but i have seen it done this way thru university study program)
