Me and my finance arrived at the embassy around 7:10am. Our appointment was at 8:30am. We entered the embassy around 8:00am. The ladies with the yellow shirts gathered our paper work (DS156, D156K, DS157 & proof of visa payment). We entered through security (no cell phones, liquid gels, etc.). We passed the group of people sitting outside (visiting visa applicants) and went through the door, where a gentleman handed us a yellow slip and our number A140.
We waited about 1 1/2 hours before our number was called. A lady requested a copy of our documents (she was not very friendly, never made eye contact). She fingerprinted my fiance and then requested we be seated, and await our same number to be called.
We waited another 30 minutes or so. A white american male requested to see my finance\'s passport and asked me to be seated while he asked him some questions.
- when did u meet the first time
- what did u do that day
- when did she come back after that, next time, etc.
- when did u get engaged
- how many children does she have
- have u ever meant them
He asked him to be seated and asked me basically the same questions.
He never requested proof of realationship (pics, phone records, etc.). But he
did ask to see my passport (he looked at the date stamps/I have been to visit 13 times in the pass 16 months).
He called my fiance back up and requested to see his passport.
He asked him have you ever been arrested. My fiance said yes. He asked him
to explain the details. After explaining he stated he needed to see the details and issued a blue slip for a copy of the police record.
On the check list it states to obtain a police record if you have been convicted. If we needed this information we would have come prepared.
Now we have to wait until September 20, 2010 for our blue slip interview.
I did email the embassy for an earlier date if any cancellations. Will see...

Our interview was scheduled July 22, 2010 @ 9:00am. We got to the US embassy at 8:10am. The lady with the clipboard asked for DS156, DS156k, DS157, my fiance's passport pics, the appointment letter and the visa receipt. Once we were inside, we waited for our number to be called. Once it was called. He was asked the following:
Have you ever traveled to US?
When did you meet your fiance?
The second time, third time, fourth time and so forth
My child's name and dob?
who does he live with in Jamaica?
Then the IO asked me:
when did we meet?
the dates when I traveled to Jamaica?
His child's name?
After the interview, he asked for my fiance's passport and stated that his passport has been approved.
Please keep in mind to bring the following evidence: Phone history, W2 2008 & W2 2009 tax papers, bank statements, employment offer letter, pictures, receipt of the engagement ring, paystubs (at least three months).

My visa was approved today, 7/19/2010. Thanks to everyone for all the support!!! I am soooo excited. My hubby came to Jamaica to join me. We went inside the embassy about 7:30am. We had to stand and wait for windows 8 and 9 to start interviewing people in order to get a seat. We were only allowed to sit in the chairs that became vacant after those persons went to Windows 8 and/or 9.
About 9:30am we were called to Window 5. CO asked for my passport, medical, pictures and police record. She asked \"Have you ever been to the US?" and "Have you ever spent more than 6 months.\" Then I gave my fingerprints. CO said I needed to pay $4 differential fee due the increase in fees. Hey, the lady wanted to know if I would be paying that today? Huh? Like I was gonna go home and come back another day in order to pay $4. Thanks to Visajourney.com I was prepared for that additional fee anyway!! I went to window 10 (cashier) to make the payment and brought back the receipt to the CO at Windown 5. She said I should sit and wait for my number to be called again.
However, we never got called to window 9 for the actual interview until about 10:30am. My husband came up to the window with me. The CO was a young white guy. He asked us to raise our right hands and we did the swearing in thingy. After that his first question was \"Do either of you have a visitor\'s visa to the US?\" I answered, \"Yes.\" He asked to see the passport and said \"I will have to cancel this visa because you can\'t have a visitor\'s visa and a green card at the same time.\" I was thinking, \"How can you cancel that visa and you have not told me that I am approved?\" LOL.
Once that was canceled he pushed back the passport to me. Then, he asked my husband to take a seat while he ask me a few questions. Told me to take up the phone. Here are the questions I can remember:
How did you meet?
How did the relationship progress after that?
When did you meet?
How many times have you been to the US?
How long have you ever stayed in the US?
When was the last time you visited the US?
Where did you stay the first time you visited your husband?
How often does your husband visit Jamaica?
How long does he usually stays?
Where did he stay the first time he came?
Does he still have other family members in Jamaica?
Did you get married in Jamaica?
Who was at the wedding?
How many persons were at the wedding?
Did anyone from his side of the family fly down from the US to attend?
Does he send you money? How much? How often?
What does your husband do for work?
Have you ever lived outside Jamaica?
Have you ever been arrested?
May I have your passport? The most recent one please.
He never asked to see any evidence from the nicely arranged expanding file I brought with so much stuff. Weird. We never front-loaded the I-130 with any pictures etc and the CO didn't ask for anything else. He never asked to speak to my husband either. Wow! Amazing!
Once I gave the passport to the CO he gave me the ticket to go to DHL to arrange for the delivery. I said, \"Thank you!\" Not many persons were approved today. A lot of blue slips were issued for new police record and co-sponsors or the co-sponsors evidence of being a US resident (green card) or citizen.
I went to pay DHL while my husband sat and waited outside in the courtyard. Once I was out, we looked at each other and my husband said, \"Mission accomplished beau!\" We were so excited!!! We still are!!! LOL.
It was a smooth process. Thanks to all VJER\'s.

My fiance's interview was scheuduled for 9am July 15th. He arrived to the Embassy by 7am. I had to wait PATIENTLY for hours (approx. 5hrs) for his call...My phone rang at 12:00pm to hear him on the end say, "I was approved!" was a relief. He said the IO only asked him a few questions:
Where did we meet?
How did we meet?
Where do I live?
Do I have roommate?
Is she comfortable with the him living with us?
Then he thanked him for being so organized...All of his papers were in order and paper clipped together. Whew!! I am sooo happy I will be with my babe soon! Good luck everyone! javascript:emoticon(' ')
