One big lesson first and foremost is that you can never be too prepared. I would like to thank all VJ members for their encouragement and answers while getting ready for this interview. First off, be ORGANIZED!! Our interview date was scheduled for a date 3 months after our petition got approved. We had enough time to get ready. We printed off all the possible questions we could be asked from VJ and we practiced and rehearsed at EVERY opportunity. Apart from getting the answers right, we all know that because of the difference in culture, Americans and Nigerians see things differently. For example, back in Nigeria, it is rude to establish eye contact (especially with an older or "oga"ish person), but not looking into the eyes of the person talking to you, or the person you're talking to in America, means you are being dishonest. So we practised things like that, making sure we talk about the different ways to compose yourself during the interview. (that matters a lot)

Our interview was schedule for 7am. We arrived there around 5:45, there were just a handful of people in line because apparently there was a 6:30 appointment as well. At around 6:30 the gate finally opened and a woman came out and said that we should form a line on the other side of the gate so it was the last people in the initial line that ended up going in first (go figure).
A man came out and started to instruct everyone to open all the sealed envelopes including the one given at the medical exam. We finally got past the first security checkpoint and formed another line based on the type of visa you are applying for (immigrant vs. nonimmigrant). We arrived at the desk where these two women keep shouting at everyone if you take more than 1 second to give them what they are asking for. . Because we were watching the people in front of us we were very prepared. She asked for the appointment letter and we immediately presented it. She asked for her ID if she has all the... read complete review

My fiance got to the interview @ abt 5am. he was no 3 in line. They asked for his interview letter and the security people verified he was on the list. He went in and turned in his docs, passprt,ds156 and all that. he paid the 350 fee and then they gave him a reciept and a number, then he went to the window and sat down till his number was called. A lady of mixed race he stated was the one who interviewed him, she was nice and professional. Below are the questions he was asked:
Why are you here
Who is petitioning for you
How old are you
How old is she
Was she born in the U.S or did she migrate
What course did she study
What course did you study
What are your wedding plans
How often do you talk
Do you have any pictures
Those were all the questions he was asked. She asked to see pictures and my 2010 tax return although i had 3 yrs worth, and then she said congrats and to pick up his passport a week later, he was... read complete review

I appeared at embassy today for K1-visa, but unfortunately I was refused based on the fact that I said that I paid dowry during my engagement to my fiancee parent.
Please can somebody help me out on the next step?

My husbands interview began at 7am but he got there about 5:30. My Father in law said there had to be atleast 100 people there but not sure of the reasons. My husband was called in around 8am to give his passport/physical and to correct a paper that I sent to NVC. At that point he sat and waited for the next 4hours. At 12:00 he was called by a young man who asked
HOW WE MET
WHY I HAD NOT BEEN BACK TO NIGERIA AGAIN
HOW OFTEN HE SPEAKS TO MY CHILDREN (OUR)
ASKED FOR TAX FORMS
ASKED FOR PHONE RECORDS
ASKED FOR MESSENGER/SKYPE RECORDS
ASKED TO SEE PICUTURES(PLEASE HAVE PICS WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS NOT JUST YOU TWO)
The man went to the back...came back and said Congradulations
He said it wasn't very stressful...just make sure you are calm and honest. Listen and take your time to understand and answer. Thanks VJ you helped us make it through!
