    June 2010 interview

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Congratulations and so happy for ALL the approvals!!! June is a good month indeed.

    I've been busy with hubby's coming to the USA. We entered the USA together this morning (Monday the 14th) via Seattle. Now we are just trying to adjust as I need to go back to work immediately. Busy preparing my apartment together is a new and exciting experience. So happy!!

    Good luck to the rest of the June interviews. Best wishes to everyone's journey. I will post my review later...

    ashley, thanks for your reply. i'm approved without any difficulties. one question: has ur husband got any sealed envelope to be presented to the immigration officer at POE? I did not get anything when I left the consulate. thanks

    good luck to all others.

    Sorry for the late reply. I do not have computer or internet access for a few days. When you leave after the interview, they should have informed you to pay for the mailing fee HK$25 at the ground floor, after you paid, you will get a receipt with a tracking number for the packet; the envelope and your passport will be mailed to you in 3 - 4 business days. Alternately, you can have the packet mailed the the central post office and pick it up there. Hope it helps...

    can you tell me what evidence did you bring to the interview?

    sorry, I don't have computer right now so can't post long post. . But I posted what I prepare for the evidence packet earlier. You can search my profile for my previous posts. Also dress more formal to the interview helps to give a better immediate impression. Good luck!

    Congrats and so happy for all the approvals. June has been a great month for VJ!

    congratulations. i'll have mine by friday this week. looking forward to your review especially the questions the consular officer asked. a bit worried cos me and my petitioner dont have many pictures together. but i have lots of passport stamps. dont know if it's good evidence or not.

    lots of visits is good. The actual American consulate only asked two questions, but the first Cantonese lady who review our documents is very serious and a little mean. She asked us lots of questions: where we met, how, when, where we went during my visits to HK, how I have so many vacation from work, why our families weren't at our wedding. They are not tough questions, but she's so mean and serious in her voice that scared not only my hubby, we saw other applications were so nervous because of her attitude and lost their words and forgot the answers. There was lots of waiting around. I had to fight my right to get let in the consulate and wait in the waiting room with my hubby. Initially they wouldn't let me in the door at all. Bring as much evidence as you can.

    Good luck!

    GOOD LUCK!

    waiting for your good news !

    Thank you every one for the best wishes. I'm literally shaking already...a few more hours of work, and in 12 hours I"ll be on the plane to Hong Kong...Hubby is so calm though...he keeps telling me don't worry, we'll be okay...I guess I read too many denied/AP story here that I'm thinking about the worst outcome already...sigh...

    O well, I'll be off for a few days then...and will try to update here as soon as I can.

    Good luck and best wishes to every one's journey!! :dance:

    So happy and excited for all the approvals!! I'm leaving in 24hrs to visit hubby and for his interview on Monday...so nervous and worried still. I have every single piece of documents/proof I can think of, and my mom and sister are writing a letter about how me and hubby met and about our relationship....we won't be able to have it notarized though, just an unofficial letter from them...hope that's okay....

    still about 10 more hours of work to go though.

    Again, congratulations and very happy to all that got their approvals! Great job every one!!! :dance::thumbs::dance:

    Do I need to get hard copy for the interview letter? I have just the email that writen on my case number etc... bla bla and my interview date? Is not it enough?

    I thought the e-mail should be enough. It said on there "the applicant should present this letter to the receptioinist". IT said nothing about a hard copy, and the NVC didn't said they will mail out hard copy of the interview letter....
