Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

1. Queue for bags checked, turn off phone, put everything in brown basket
2. Scanning of arms and back
3. More bags check before entering
4. Take off shoes and jacket, pass everything to the guard, go through machine scanning
5. You’ll get back the brown basket with your docs and they’ll keep your phone with a number card left for you to collect when you exit
6. After that you’ll walk upstairs to second floor immigration visa room
7. An officer will check and collect docs from you for consular, he’ll ask you simple questions like where your husband? you grow up in hk? Have you visited US? Where else you’ve stayed more than 12 mths?
8. Original docs he asked for passport, hkid, 1 photo, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police reports. He’ll give you back the hkid. He didn’t ask for medical report as all have been submitted online.
9. He also collected proof of my husband returning plan
10. I was then asked to wait for consular call for interview
11. After 15mins I was called to another counter to talk to the consular
12. Have my right hand up to vow that I’m giving all true info. Then I’m asked to scan my finger prints
13. Because we have been married more than 2 years not many questions on our marriage, only asked how we met, when did we get married, where’s my husband
14. Her focus on approval was what plan we’ve made to leave in 6 mths. I haven’t started looking for job yet and my place at Chicago was bought too long time ago doesn’t count. Quotation on shipment is good to have but not convincing enough. My husband job offer letter stating he’ll start 1 Oct is good too but again more than 6 mths so not good enough. Until I randomly mentioned he’s asked to retire by his current job by 31 Aug <- within 6 mths that’s what she’s looking for, she didn’t even ask for proof.
15. Visa approved and good to go.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancee's interview was at 10am on a Tuesday (11/23/2021).

She arrived at 9:30am and waited in the coffee shop in front of the Consulate. She approached the outer gate of the consulate at 9:55am. Upon arrival, the guard asked her for her appt confirmation sheet and Hong Kong id. After that, there are several guards who checked her bags, gave her a tray to put all of her paperwork in, used a metal detection wand on her, collected her cell phone, and x-rayed her belongings.

She was directed to go to the 1st floor and turn right and told that they will call her name. She did not wait at all. Upon entering the room the first lady collected her paperwork (BC, appt letter, i-134 & supporting paperwork, divorce decree, HKID, and passport bio page). While the consulate employee collects your paperwork she asked her questions about our case, so listen carefully. She asked: How many kids? Where are your kids? Asked about police clearances from Saudi and Kuwait? Did she register the address for the passport delivery / pickup. Last, she confirmed her phone number. After collecting the paperwork, my fiancée took a seat and waited for them to call her. She waited 5-10 minutes and they called her. The consulate officer administered an oath and took her fingerprints. Then, he asked the following questions: 1. How many kids do you have? 2. How did you meet? 3. Did he meet your parents? 4. What was your parents reaction to him? 5. He commented on how impressed he was with our meeting letter on the i-129f and said you are approved. She left the consulate at 10:35am.

It was a very stressful morning for my fiancée. She was very tired, had a headache, and could not eat. However, after the approval, all the stress of our 10 1/2 months process was over.

Thank you Lord
