Our interview for my husband's visa (green card) was so easy. We were actually pretty nervous but the man that interviewed us was so nice and made us very comfortable. He really only asked us a few questions about how we met and our future plans and that was it. We did need to submit other documents - copies of my parents birth certificates or passports (because they are "sponsoring" my husband on the I-864 form - but it was very easy we just had my parents scan and e-mail them. We will need to return to the embassy to pick up my husband's passport when they finish processing, they said 3-10 days. They man who interviewed us even tried to check with a supervisor or someone to see if there was anything we could do to make it faster because were we live in Costa Rica is very far from San Jose. Of course they couldn't but we appreciated that he tried. The only bad thing about our experience at the embassy was that we had to wait a VERY long time. our appointment was at 12:15 and we didn't... read complete review

Easy and straight forward.
Yesterday (1/7/13) we had our interview or rather my wife's interview.
The letter from NVC informed us that our appointment was at 12:30, but my wife received an email from the consulate ensuring that we brought some additional information and said the appointment was at noon, so we showed up at 1140 to be safe. Ushered right in to the outside waiting area, there were 4 people ahead of us (one woman(alone), one couple, 2 minors). We waited about 45 minutes for the first interview. With an older lady, very nice. She basically got all the paperwork in order, she did ask where/how we met and a couple of other generic questions. Nothing difficult at all. Then we waited another hour and half or so. I think part of the problem is that we were there during lunch time (as the second interviewer wasn't even there most of the time).
The second interview went pretty easy as well. First you scan your finger prints, swear and sign the application and ... read complete review

Easy...The Embassy called us several times at our home (Moravia) the morning of the interview. We arrived to the Embassy at 11:15 a.m. and they were calling my wife before we entered the building. Upon entry, we were sent directly to the interview window without waiting a minute. All of the questions were in spanish, as my wife does not speak english. My wife was asked some pretty simple questions: Where did we meet; How did we meet; How many times had I visited and Where do I live. We were then asked to provide evidence of an on-going relationship. We submitted an entire photo album full of pictures (I travel to CR every three months). In addition, I submitted a years worth of phone records from my wireless company. I was asked to submit my most recent tax returns. My wife was sent to another window for digital fingerprints. We were then told to come back at 1:00 p.m. for a follow-up interview. We returned at 12:45 p.m. and maybe waited 10 minutes before being sent to another window ... read complete review

We arrived at noon and had our initial meeting to go over the paper work. This took about 30 minutes and we had to give the DS-156,230 I-34 and financial evidence etc. They verified we had all of our paperwork in order and asked us to sit down and wait until 1:00 so we could pay the fee. We paid and waited until almost 3:30 or 4:00 until the official interview. We were the last 2 people in the embassy waiting room and we were really nervous. The actual interview was so quick that we couldn't believe we had waited this long for it! They asked us how we met etc. but my fiancee had done such a good job and provided so much detail that there wasn't a whole lot left to ask. The consulate told us that our visa was approved and we could come back and pick it up on Monday. It might have been easier since we have a daughter and she was there with us. Our daughter is a US citizen so they really had no reason to deny mom access to the US.
I am happy that we made it through this an... read complete review

So, where to start... My fiance had his interview yesterday and was approved!!!! I was extremely worried/paranoid that we would be denied and I wanted to do everything possible to make sure that we weren't so I flew down to Costa Rica to go to the interview with him.
We arrived at the embassy slightly before 12 and we were let in immediately. We took our number and sat down outside and as soon as we sat down a man came and told us to go take a seat inside. We were the 4th ticket for interviews. We were called and went up to our window with a nice woman who talked with us and looked over all our paperwork and then gave back to us the photos, proof of ongoing relationship, my tax returns for 2010 and 2009 (they kept 2011), and some other stuff... I had been trying to move things along and get everything done ahead of time so I had paid the k1 MRV fee online, this caused a bit of a commotion and I was told that they don't accept that form of payment and that it said i... read complete review
