Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Got there at 6:30 and there was 2 couples already waiting. As usual, a big lane for non-immigrant, and by 7:30, a lane of around 15 people for immigrant-v all of them married ones.

The consular officer told us to present only the docs that were not send to NVC - in my case Medical Exam. At 9 o´clock, I was called by another consular officer for present the missing docs, pics and original docs (Birth, Marriage, Police clearences).

* PS about this moment: He asked me if my husband address has changed in CA, and that was the right moment to tell him yes, and I gave them the new address.. he asked me to write on the DS 230 form. Then, he look at my pics and said I need to shot them again because my ears weren´t enough clear.. even after I showed him how small they were... In fact, he asked me to go out and take new ones with pen caps behind my ears... (heheheh) I also mentined to him that I had new original of Birth and MArriage certificate because the ones I have sent to NVC were plastified... so, he asked kindly to make new copies out side as well.

Remark: most parte of the immigrants that were there had to take NEW PICS as well, because they had problems with their ears...

When I came back, around 10:00, some of the people were already interviewd by the same CO, and were waiting for the Consul. I was the third one to face the consul. Don´t need to mention that I took a big bag of evidences and all of the copy of the process with me, however, what really made a difference, in my case, was a letter from my attorney regarding my preview overstaied in 2005 (for only 4 months) and the lawsuit process that I moved against the school that negligencied my B2 visa (that was I lost my B2 visa)...

Interview: My number was called, then I came into this very small room where me and the consul were separate by a glass window. The consul talked to me in portuguese all the time, and never asked if I want to speak in english... I had a feeling he didnt want to spend too much time with no one.... hE ASKED me to do fingerprint and after warsd, asked me to sworn.... All of this very quickly. Then, he imediatly start asking me:


Questions:

1- my name
2- my husband´s name
1- my birthdate
4- my husband´s birthdate
5- year of meeting first time
6- if Kevin was divorced
7 If he had kids
- when he got divorced
9- the day we met - again
(then he mention "so, he was married when you too were dating" (arggghh).... then, I answer "No, sir, He was separated, starting a divorce process...."
10- Did u live in US (that was when he saw the overstay period and got very irritated)
11- He asked me how long did I stay in CA for the last entry - I said 10 months and start telling him what was the problem and that I did a lawsuit to prove that I never intent to be illegal for 4 motnh
12- then he said very mean: "PROVE IT" - meaning about the lawsuit...
13- then I handed to him all of the lawsuit pprocess and the letter of my attorney explanning and highlighting that there was no reason for deny my visa.
14 He asked to wait out side (panic!!!!)

After 40 minutes praying to God, he called me again, gave me back my originals and said " Ma´an, all of it it seems very clear and fine to me, please, go to the other consular officer to manage the delivery of your passaport."

all in all, Consul were very assortive and polite, even mention that rude commentary. Never asked one pic to prove my relationship. However, embassy procedure seemed very organized and if the applicant is organized as well, all of that goes smooth.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

well, My interview went ok, the visa procedures are the same from previous reviews, just make sure you have allk the right docs in order and you should be fine..

arrived at consulate in Rio at 7:10am, interview took place at 10:10am, went to the room inside, waited for 45 min for consul to show up and interview was over in 5min..the questions were:

my name (the he left the room)
asked my name again after 10 mint
the reason that I was there..(I´m not sure why I was there)
my age
my fiance´s age
her name
gave me the forms to sign and akes me to raise my right hand and swear i´m telling the trugh
then, asked how I met my fiance and why I wanna marry her (at this point, when I was explaining the journey, he wasn´t even paying attention, he was writing stuud down on a paper0)
When i finished,he asked if I had proof of relationship
when I was about to grab the beautifulk scrapbook that my fiance has made, he told me YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED, JUST PAY THE DELIVERY FEE OUTSIDE
couldn´t believe it but wanted to get out that scary room ASAP..

paid the fee and visa will be home in about 5 working days..
