Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husband had his interview on May 21..scheduled at 8:00 am. He arrived on time and got in the line for immigrant visas. He said he was happy to be in that line as the visit visa line was really long. He was number 3 in line behind a family with 4 children, and the second in line was a woman.

The first thing they did was take his cell phone...which was expected, then told them to sit in the big waiting room. The people for visit visas came in next but were seated in a different area.

The family with 4 children were called to the window..he said they took an hour there (his sense of time I think was a bit off...he was nervous and could only think about smoking). He said the single woman was called up next and she took maybe 25 minutes there....then he was called next and they asked for...I think his appointment letter and original birth certificate. Actually, he had to remind her about the birth certificate..and also asked for his passport photos and his passport.

He was then told to go back in the room and turn left, but he misunderstood her, even though she spoke to him in Arabic..again nervous and no smoking lol. He asked the security guard, who showed him where to go.

Once he got into the second room, they were just calling the family of 6..again, he said they took an hour after they were called back. He said when they came out they were sitting near him and the father seemed mad but didn't say anything. Then the single woman was called back..and AGAIN, she was there for 25 minutes (he still hasn't smoked) and when she came out she had her passport (not a good sign apparantly) and a really mad look on her face.

Then he noticed that everyone was looking at him...and couldn't figure out why...until he realized...he is the only one there with "too many documents". Everyone else just had a few papers...he had a 3 ring binder (with a Texas flag on the cover ) and his x-rays and medical forms and and and....

He was called next..and took all his papers to where they told him (he said a room..) There was a woman with white hair (he said it may have been gray, but he couldn't tell because he hadn't smoked) and a guy standing behind her. The man and woman were talking and talking and my husband kept waiting patiently for them (as patiently as one can...without smoking )

Then the woman told him...put your fingers on that machine to have finger stamp. He didn't understand her at first, so she repeated it...and he finally got it.

She started asking him questions then:
1. What is your wife's name? He gave my full name
2. When did you get married? June 7, 200...oh 7 (his words...lol)
3. How did you meet your wife? In a chat room, she gave him what he called "wonder face"...he told her...it was in a Catholic chat room on myspace and we talked in there.

She was typing all this information as he gave it...

Then she asked to look at our marriage contract and said...your wife is older than you by 15 years...and then asked...what do you like about your wife?
He answered her...

She then asked why I have not gone to Jordan to see him in 2 years since I am a travel agent (why do people think we travel free????) He explained that I have a teenage daughter that I cannot leave. He told her...her daughter just turned 18 last year so she needed her mother....she seemed satisfied with this answer.

And from all the papers, documents and forms he took with him...she only asked to see one thing...photos. We had no wedding photos...in fact...we only have 3 pictures together. She asked him to slide them under the window and she looked at all of them for a long time. There was one...she asked him...you look so happy in this picture. He said yes, but I am not now. She asked "Why??"...he said...no wife

As soon as he said that...she turned around and did...soemthing with a green ticket..then turned back to him and said...Congratulations! He looked at her with a really mad face (he misunderstood lolol) and she said again...Congratulations, you will go to your wife now. He stood up, took a deep breath, gathered all his things and walked off LOLOLOL

He went out to the ARAMEX window, gave them 5JD and his cell phone number. They told him...we will call you in 5-10 days to pick up your passport and visa. He asked for his cell phone back...went outside and called me YELLING soooooooo happy

Everyone at the embassy was very nice and helpful. Even though he kept saying everyone was taking one hour, and 25 minutes, then an hour again...his appointment was at 8:00 am...he was out of there by 10:30 am...and SMOKED..lol

Review Topic: K3 Visa

OVERALL MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD, QUICK INTERVIEW. HIS INTERVIEW WAS SET FOR 7:30AM ON MAY 6, 2009. HE WAITED ABOUT 4 HOURS FOR HIS INTERVIEW. HE FINALLY GOT CALLED BACK, AND IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, OR SO. IT WAS VERY BRIEF.
THE MAN ASKED ABOUT HOW WE MET, ABOUT MY CHILDREN, ABOUT OUR LIKES, ABOUT OUR FAVORITE MOVIE AND WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, ASKED ABOUT MY JOB. THE MAN ASKED TO SEE A FEW PICS OF ME AND MY HUSBAND. THEN SAID HE WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!
HE WENT AND PAID HIS ARAMEX FEE FOR HIS VISA, AND HAD THE CHOICE TO HAVE IT MAILED OR PICK IT UP. HUSSAM CHOSE TO PICK IT UP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE READY IN 10 TO 14 DAYS. BUT, OUR LAWYER SAID HE SHOULD GET IT IN 4 TO 5 DAYS.
SOON HE WILL FLY TO US!!!! BEEN A LONG WAIT, BUT WELL WORTH IT!!!! THANK GOD!!

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

He arrived 30 minutes early for his 8 am interview, and had to wait in line to go through security. After he got inside a lady met him to take his medical package and asked for his original police certificate and passport. He went to his waiting area and shortly was called to give his fingerprints. Then he waited and waited and waited for 3.5 hours, and finally got called to talk to a male CO who asked him;

How did you meet your wife?
What does she like?
What do you know about her ex husband? Why did they divorce?
Where does her daughter live? Who else lives there? What do they think about your marriage? Did you meet any of them?
How long did she stay with you in Jordan? How long did she stay the second time she visited?
What does she do? Where does she work... is it a hospital? He had to explain to him a nursing home when he couldn't remember 'nursing home'.

Amer told me he looked at the pictures a lot and asked about where we were and who else was in the pictures with us at the wedding and so forth[his different family members].

Then he said "congratulations Amer, you've got your visa" he was looking at Amer's passport then and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, it looks like your passport expires in 5 months, you'll have to update it before we give you your visa." Then my husband said no I just updated it and they put it on a different page and showed him where. Lucky for us we caught that beforehand. So it was ok, and they gave him a paper and said go pay for the delivery it should arrive in 5-10 days. He went to a different room, paid for aramex delivery and received his passport with visa on April 27th and 7pm.

Review Topic: K3 Visa

I am the American spouse and was not at the interview. But based on my husband's report, I am surprised at how smoothly it went, and how simple the consular officer's questions were.

Basically, here is what the CO in Amman asked:

1. Did your wife come with you to the interview?
2. How did you and your wife meet?
3. When did you and your wife meet?
4. What does your wife do for a living?
5. What would your wife do if she lost her job?
6. What did you do when you were in [Country X]? (My husband has worked and lived outside Jordan in the past.)
7. Do you have photos of the wedding? (The CO glanced at a few of the wedding photos through the dividing glass.)

END OF INTERVIEW....."Congratulations, etc."

Here is what the CO did NOT ask about: children, ex-husbands, finances, future plans, sex, shared interests, our most recent argument, the color of my underclothing, blood types, the I-134, where we plan to live, our families, religious differences, age differences, how we stay in touch, etc. The CO didn't look at any supporting evidence except a few wedding photos.

Our weakest point going into the interview was the I-134, and we expected the CO to pounce on it and grill my husband about my job and my financial situation. But the CO never mentioned the Affadavit of Support.
