Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

We arrived at around 7:10am and were third in line. The doors opened at 7:30 and we were allowed to go in. Only my husband's name was on the list, but as a passport holding US citizen and his sponsor I was allowed to join him without any issues. We were directed to the third floor. Took our number, sat down. At 8 am on the dot they opened the windows. Two ladies dealt with paperwork and one window was for the interviews. First, they take your documents. The lady reviews all of them carefully. We had copies of the criminal record checks but we had to provide the originals. Thankfully we had them on hand. We had a copy of our marriage license and certified translation. She asked to see the original but permitted us to keep it after she compared it to the copies. So be sure to bring the originals of all of your documents, just in case. She took the items from our checklist. I asked if she need the relationship proofs and the proof of domicile (I am a US citizen living abroad while my husb... read complete review

My interview was scheduled at 8:00, on Sep 10th. For immigrant visa applicants, people are allowed to enter the embassy without waiting outside and standing in a line.

After scanning your belongings and checking your appointment, you go up to the third floor. One thing you make sure when you get there is that you have to get a number. The machine is below(near) TV.

When your number comes out on the board, you go to the booth, and submit all the papers you prepare. If a worker doesn't say something special, you can go back to the seat and wait to be called again for finger printing.

Before you have an interview, you have to swear to tell the truth. Some officers ask you which language you prefer, but I was asked to speak only English. The questions were very simple. 1) How did you meet you fiance? 2) Is he still working as an English teacher here? 3) How long have you been dating with him? I asked all the questions, and after looking my pass... read complete review

An easy sail as long as you have all the documents required present with you. I met a male interviewer who spoke both English and Korean. At the start of the interview, he asks your language preference, and you are free to choose whichever you are confident to speak.

At the interview, The questions I had were easy, simple, and expected.

*Where is your fiance?
*Where does he work?
*How did you meet?
*Where do you plan to live?
*I like your pictures, where did you take them?
*Have you been to the United States?

A friendly conversation lasting less than 10 minutes! No sweat, no worries. Only meet the requirements, follow the rules, bring all pieces of paper, and answer the easiest and most fun questions ever about you and your partner. I guarantee you will enjoy this. :D

(I saw some applicants "denied" because they were missing a paper or two. However, the interviewer handed out a notice ... read complete review

Arrived at embassy 30 mins before doors opened, but still was 20th or so in line. It took 4 hours of waiting before being called. Interviewer was very pleasant, only basic questions asked (name, how we met). Overall was nice experience except for the long wait.
