The petitioner was present with the beneficiary.
The interviewer spoke Korean asked us about
- When we met
- How long did you meet before tying the knot
- Where does the husband live?
- Why was the beneficiary in foreign country for more than a year? What was her job there?
- What does the husband do for living?
- When was the last time the beneficiary visited the states?
- Since the petitioner was living in Korea, interviewer asked if the petitioner will follow suit when the beneficiary leaves
Above questions were asked in a natural dialog. We exteremely thankful that the interviewer was mindful of our nervousness and even used Korean honorifics to make us feel at ease.
As a side note, we overheard a lady, a K1 beneficiary also being interviewed. She also was given a choice to do the interview in Korean or English. The lady chose Korean.
All in all, they seem to run a tight ship around there with professionals.
