Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

So i just got a review of the days event from my hubby.

He got there at 8 for a 9am interview

When he got in only two people were doing the interviews..... a lady and a guy.

He said that the lady finished about 30 interviews before the guy finished 2 because he was going through everything that the people infront of him brought in plus he still gave them blue sheets...

Then another lady showed up and things started to flow faster. He said he was praying that the guy didnt call him....

He said a lot of people got turn down because enough money wasnt being made for AOS so they were told to get a co sponser.....

Lots of fiance visa got Blue sheet, they were either missing info, didnt bring enough evidence, no pictures or when it seems like the age difference was a big number... And they wanted to see the SO

A lady replaced the guy and thats who called him... He didnt do his interview until minutes after 10.....
She asked him

*How long have we been together
*Where did we meet
*Have he ever been to the US
*When was my last visit
*Do we have a child together

She then asked him for his passport told him she is going to cancel his visitor visa and Welcome to the US.

He said they only took his medical, passport and picture

He said overall it was good and pain free (at least for him)

Review Topic: K1 Visa

We got there about 8:55 for our 9:00 appointment. We went right up to the front of the line the woman checked out paper work and put it in order and in we went through the metal detectors. When we were in the courtyard there is another woman who gives you the yellow piece of paper that you write your passport number on for DHL.

We go in check in and get out number A151 so we go into section A and it is crowded we go and stand along the wall with the counter and just check out what is going on for a while. Finally our number is called and we go to window 6. The lady takes all our paperwork and tells me that I am very organized and I responded well I have been waiting for this day for along time. We go and sit back down and wait for our interview.

We get called up around noon to window 8. He pretty much approved everyone if they had all their paperwork there, those that didn't he gave a blue slip too. I think there were only 2 or 3 fiance visa's in that section that day the rest were family based visa's.

So we go up and he asks for our passports and then goes around the corner to look at them. Thought that was a bit strange. He comes back and tells us raise our right hands and says do you swear to tell the truth and then the questions start:

When we met?
Where we met?
How many times have I been to Jamaica?
Have I seen him on every trip?
When did you start dating?
When did you get engaged?

I answered all those questions.

He then asks Conmar to go sit at the back of the room and for me to pick up the phone.
I pick up the phone and then the questions just start pouring in:
When did I get there?
Where did we stay the night before?
Was it just the two of us there?
When am I going back home?
Have I met anyone in his family?
What are their names?
Has he met anyone in my family?
What is her name?
When was I divorced?
Do I live with anyone?
Does he live alone?
Do I live in a house or an apartment?
Do we talk about what I do at my job?
How often do we talk?
What do you guys talk about?
Where does his son live?
Who does his son live with?
Who is he closest to in his family?
Does he know my daughter's Dad?
Is my daughter's Dad involved in her life?

Then he tells me to send Conmar up and for him to pick up the phone.

He asked him:
Have you met anyone in her family?
Have you met her daughter's Dad?
Who are you closest to in your family?

And that was about it for him…he said congratulations take this to DHL for them to arrange for your passport to be delivered to you.

We were both so excited and I don’t think that the smile has left our faces yet.

Review Topic: K3 Visa

The US Consulate in Kingston was most cooperative and accomodating. Although my wife is from Kazakhstan, we were married in Jamaica so the final medical exam and visa interview had to take place there. It was extremely expensive to fly my wife and children to Jamaica, especially not knowing if we would be granted the visas or not.

Review Topic: General Review

Things didn't go the way I expected it to. So, I reached the embassy about 6:45 am and our interview was scheduled for 7:00 am. I got to the shortest line at the front and waited for the lady in the yellow shirt to look at my documents(2 pictures, passport, appointment letter). Then she sent me to the door to pass through the security check-point. It's just like the airport. Then I passed the security point and went on to the courtyard where there was a line to have your documents be looked on again by a guy in the yellow shirt (He told me to sign the back of the passport. Then he sent me to the building. There was a line formed right inside the front area where I collected my number. I was told to enter through the door in front of me and go to the right where you wait to be called to the window for fingerprints and collection of medical report. Then I sat again for my number to be called for my interview.I waited about 30 minutes until I was finally called. The CO was a African-American. She seemed very pleasant to me at first but but throughout the rest of the interview she seemed very disengaged from the interview. She asked for my passport She had me sworn in and took prints of my index finger. She asked me my age. I told her 16. She asked who was filing for me. I told her my stepmother. Then to my utter surprise she told me my step mom did not make enough to sponsor me on her own. So she gave me a blue slip to come back with I-864 to make my father sign as a joint sponsor. I was speechless. So I got back outside the embassy and called my father and he said he signed as a joint sponsor. So I guess either the NVC or the embassy made some mistake. So I'm gonna email the embassy and question them about it.
