Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husband went a day before to the embassy for document verification. As he was getting his documents verified, the lady asked him for the two passport size pictures and also told him that he is going to fingerprinted. After getting everything done she told him if he wanted to get interviewed today and he replied yes. She told him to wait. He was interviewed by young man. My husband was asked these questions.
1. Where are her family originally from?
2. Where does she live?
3. Does she have a sister?
4. When and where did you get married?
5. When did she last visit you?
6. Did you meet her family and when?

During this interview the interviewing officer did not ask for any evidence that me and him complied which was over 4lbs.
He told him congrats and gave him a green piece of paper so that he can pick up his visa tomorrow.
The officers were nice and he only had to wait ... read complete review

Addis and I were approved at the Ethiopia embassy today. We are so excited at the speed at which things have gone for me and my sweet heart.

The interview was very easy in our case and I was left wondering WOW!!. The interviewer did not even ask for my affidavit of support and/or evidence of ongoing relationship. I spent many hours gathering the information and they did not even look at it…..Nice!!

My fiancée was call to the interview window after two hours wait in the visa waiting room. I walk with my fiancée to the window but the interview asks me to go sit down. Here is how the interview went:

Interviewer: Do you speak English?
Fiancée: Yes, I speak but not very well
Interviewer: What does your fiancé do for a living?
Fiancée: He is an Auditor
Interviewer: Where was your fiancé originally born?
Fiancée: Ghana
Interviewer: Did your fiancé tell you about Ghana?
Fia... read complete review

AT 10:00PM THEY TOLD EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE TO TURN IN THEIR DOCUMENTS SO SHE DID THEN THEY TOLD HER TO SIT IN THE WAITING AREA. AFTER LIKE THREE HOURS LATER THEY CALLED HER TOO THE WINDOW AND......

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Today was one of the Best and the worst day. Since last night my fiancé and I was so nervous. I keep calling her almost every hour to tell her, it will be OK, just be yourself.

Anyway, this is exactly what happened:

-She went to the Embassy around 6:00AM, US embassy in Ethiopia usually have long lines by 7:00AM
-She was the first one in the line.
Around 7:30 they told her to return all her medical, police certificate, birth certificate, and the DS230. Then they told her to wait in the lobby.
(about six month ago all the employees in the US embassy were mean, rude, and aggressive, but according to the security guard she spoke with, he said, “They got all brand new crew and you don’t have to worry about a thing.”)
-Well that kind of made her feel better
-After 30min, she said they called her name and she got Window 2(all the officers are women)
-The officer had a translator, (which was Ethiopian)
-The ... read complete review
