(A little background) My fiance has been trying to get his No Imped for the past month and has been getting jerked around. We decide to go to the RGD in Kingston before the interview. I walk in and get # 73 when they were only on #15. Thankfully a nice wroker was able to go in the back and print out my fiance's No Imped. This still took about 45 minutes though. So we end up getting to the embassy about an hour late. I was so worried we'd be turned away. I go up to the lady in the yellow shirt and she says it's Ok and ask for our 156, 156k, 157, payment receipt, and the pictures. She asks for both of our I.D's. I explain I left my purse in the car, but I have a copy of my passport with my picture and name. She looks at that and then tells us to go wait in line. There were only about 4 people in front of us waiting to go through security, so we go through quickly and then go to the court yard. There are a lot of people all under the covered part. I tell my fiance to wait while I go ask someone if we are in the right place. Thankfully that was the visitor visa people and we were allowed to go right inside. We check in with the guy at he desk, get our number stub and the yellow paper to write my fiance's passport number on. We go in and there are only about 10 people waiting in our section. We are taking it all in and joking about talking on that phone and why do you have to raise your right hand to sware in, like that makes a difference? Anyways we figure we are the last ones in so we will probably be the last called. Well it gets to be just us and another lady. That lady goes up and we are collecting our paperwork, sure we will be called any second. Nope, nothing. Luckily the lady that had just went noticed they were preparing to go to lunch and tells us that we better go up there and see if they know about us. I go up and ask the lady and she says "no we are done for today". My heart sinks. I show her out ticket stub with the number on it and she asks for my fiance's name. Then she looks in the computer and then goes in the back. She comes back and says that no one told them that they had brought in another file. I guess since we were late they had already collected everyone's file and not checked back to see if there were anymore. She tells me to sit down and someone will be with us shortly. A few minutes later a woman calls us up and she is VERY rude. Then says give me all your paper work. I give her the no imped,medical, police report, I-134 ect. She asks my fiance to open the medical and no -imped, very rudely and like he is already taking too long and she hasn't even passed them back through the window. While he is doing that I ask if she wants my tax return, bank letter, ect and she raises her voices and says " I SAID everything". I just start giving her handfuls of papers. Not sure if she needed it all, but I'm like I can't ask again. She said everything so fine here's everything. I'm thinking to myself does she want my photo album and proof of relations suff, but I'm afraid to ask anything and thought from reading other people's experiences that happens later. So I decide to just let her ask if she needs anything else. She then tells us to go down to get finger printed and then come back and wait. My fiance and I start to really worry that we are going to get her again and that she is going to ask us a million questions and give us a real hard time. My fiance gets finger printed and that guy was nice. We go back and thank the lord a few minutes later another girl calls us up. She turned out to be really nice. She was a young Jamaican girl. She has us raise our right hands and swear all the information is correct and true and then asks for our passports. I panick again because I didn't think to bring mine. I tell her I have a copy from when I sent in my I-129 and does she want to see that? She says "no it's O.K". Then she hands by fiance two pieces of paper and ask him to write my name on one of the lines and for him to sign the other. While he's doing that I notice her reading the original letter I sent in with the I-129, explaining how we met. My fiance gives the papers back to her and she asks how many times have I been to JA since we met. We both look at each other and say 12. We had gone over everything the night before and that's how we both knew 12. Then I begin to worry that it's going to look like we are too rehearsed so I say "do you want me to count out the months that I visited?" She "No it's OK". Then she says "what year did you two meet?" We both say 2007 at the same time. Then she says "go to window 26 and pay for your visa congratulations and make sure you get married within 90 days of arriving in the U.S.". I was kind of stunned since it happend so fast. We were only at her window for 5 minutes at the most. I expected much more questions. We go over to widnow 26 and only my fiance can wait in line so I go and wait over in the shade. He pays it and we're DONE!!
* Lessons learned don't be late, but if you are don't panick. We were an hour late and they still took us.*

I did not attend the K1 interview with my fiance' because of recent neck surgery. He stated that although he waited for a while the process was simple and very easy. The CO only asked a couple of questions, was very impressed with our organization of evidence and his love for me.
She was impressed with his knowledge of me, and asked if he studied for the interview. He told her that he didn't study, but if he didn't know me after almost 5 years of dating, he had no business getting married to me.

My husband interview was on 6/12/09, I actually was in Jamaica at the time for his interview, to provide him support. I didn't want anything to go wrong just because I wasn't there. We drove from Mo'bay to Kingston for the 7am interview. We arrived about 6:30am and there was 2 lines already forming. The ladies in the yellow shirts told us which line to get into. They have people outside telling you, phones or cameras are not allowed in the Embassy. There are people that will give you a ticket to hold your items. We left our things in the car, so no worries for us. Now the starts to move first we go through the little building with the metal devices, then you are told to wait outside in the shaded garden area. Its about 6:45am and there are about 30 people waiting outside, most of them are standing in a line and few are sitting. The guard tells everybody you don't have to line up, so move further down. About 5 min pass and a man comes from around the corner and explains to make sure all doc's are sign, if not he will send you to the back. All the sudden the guard "OK, everybody get into a single file line", I was thinking are you kidding me after you just said not to line up. Now its like a mad dash to get a good position in line. So now we all walk in to a small room, the guy explains if you are here for visitor visa, I will give you and yellow slip and a number and you will go to the left. But if someone is filing for you, you will go to the right. We get our #A101 and go and sit down at the right, we are. 2nd in line now. So Andrew is really nervous so I'm telling him to relax a little. After about 15min the room is completely filled. We are watching two ladies behind the window getting themselves ready to start calling numbers. Its now 7:15am the first number called is our number, so we jump up and go to the window. The lady is a Jamaican and she's a little rude. She as Andrew if I'm his wife and he responses "Yes". Then she ask if he has the original copy of his divorce decree, I actually start looking for it in all the papers I had, then I told her "you have the original in the pack that's in you hands", she says "I know, let's move on". Im thinking to myself why would you ask for it then....whatever. So she gets Andrew's fingerprints and tells us to sit down and listen for our number to be called. So now we're people watching. About 20min pass and our number is called to window #1 and there is a young American woman, she ask to see both our passports, then ask Andrew for his old one, but he didn't have it because he left it in the car, ugh. She said ok, she then gave me back mine and kept Andrew's. She then tells me to take a sit because she going to ask my husband some questions. Andrew then pick up the phone...Do you two have children together....Have I ever met his kids...When/Where did we meet....When was the last time he has seen me...Ok now its my turn, I pick up the phone....Have you meet his kids....How many times have you seen him since you meet him? I answer "we lived together for 2 years, then he got stuck here." She looks at me and said, Ok, tell your husband to come up. Then she tells him, "Congratulations, welcome to the United States." We went and paid DHL, to have his visa delivered to Mo'Bay and walked out with huge smiles on our faces. We were finish @ 8am, not bad. I'm so happy this part is over, now all we have to do is wait for the delivery....yay!!!!!

Interview Review
Got there 7:20 for my 7:30 appointment.
A lady at the front asked for my letter, passport and two pictures. She gave them back to me then sent me in the line to go inside.
Went through security check point then into the courtyard where about 50 peoples was waiting. I went straight to the door and joined the line to get the yellow slip to write my passport number on.
The man said go inside and sit on the right. All seats were taken so i stood to the side.
The man who gave me yellow came inside and said he had bad news and good news which one do we want first. We said the bad news. He said the numbers on the ticket will not go in order and the good news is we will leave before the people on the left side. Everyone cracked up.
I love crossword puzzle so while i was waiting i did two pages, tried to relax.
About 9:15 i was called to the window to do the finger print.
The lady asked:
Who is filing for you?
Have you ever been to the US?
She asked for my passport, pictures and medical.
Did the finger print and said sit until you hear your number again.
In about 5 minutes i did.
The interviewer asked who is filing for me?
Then said one moment pls and went to the window i came from earlier. I was like what the F@$K?
She then asked:
How did you meet?
How long have you been intimate?
When did you decide you wanted to get married?
Why was he here in '07?
Do you have any children?
Is your daughter going with you?
Does your husband have any children?
How often do you see each other?
I asked if she wanted to see the stamps, she said yes and took them from me.
She didn't ask for any evidence.
Then she said your visa has been approved go to window 28.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
