Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The hubby's interview was on July 20, 2012 at 7am. He arrived at the consulate around 5.45am and immediately had to stand in line because tons of people were already waiting. I guess he waited for his turn to be called to the window and he said he was barely there for 5 mins. He got asked 3 questions;
-When did we get married
-How long have we known each other
-Has he traveled out the country before.

And after that, he was told he is approved and to pick up his visa next week. He didn't show additional phone records, chat, pictures, nothing.

Thank God for this website and people that reached out personally to help us during this process.

Review Topic: K3 Visa

My Husbands interview, July 12, 2012, 7am. He arrived by 5:30am, was the first one there, but still had to wait. He said the interviews was amongst others in a open area. During the time of his wait, he was assisting others with children and the elderly...he said he could hear others being approved and denied and it scared him. He noticed there was this man observing him for a long time, but he didnt think nothing of it, but he was the same man that called his name to interview him.

As soon as he sat down the man said, "Tell me about your wife, (called me by name)", He said he spoke freely and open, he asked about my son and his age, asked him what he knew about my city or anything in it, and my husband replied, he had "Family" awaiting him...A Mother, (my mother) that calls me son and gave her name. My husband offered to show pics and the Agent said, No...You ARE APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJA!!!!!!! NEVER SHOWED NOT 1PC OF EVIDENCE, though I sent in so much previous. He picks up his visa this week. Im saying dont gather your proof, by all means by prepared.

God is truly Good! We Couldnt have done this without His Strength, because this was hard. When you are pregnant with child for 9mo, you expect a result, but when you are waiting with expectation from the Embassy, you never know your fate, unless you are trusting in the Almighty God!

My husband said when he walked up to the window he had already seen his application was approved because there was a pink slip marked with approved.He also mentioned their minds are basically made up already and that the front loading of our petition really helped. He says remainn calm and confident and and its good to hit them with evidence when they ask a question.for example when they ask oh have u met her son he showed them pics....when they asked does your family like her he then showed family pics....she was nice and gave plenty of time for you to answer questions...he said they basically want you to proove your petition is bonafide...he say their were alot of approvals today and only two denials!

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husbands interview was today at 7am. He arrived to the embassy around 6am. They had everyone line up at 6:15am in order to enter. He was finished with his interview by 9am. He said he was the first to be interviewed in the immigrant visa section and that he was asked normal questions. How we met, When I came to visit, how many siblings I have, where certain pictures were taken, who were in the pictures (these were pictures I mailed with the I-130, she never asked for our albums) etc... He also said they did not request to see hardly any of the documents we had prepared, just our phone records and emails. The lady who interviewed him was very nice, young and seemed rather shy. She laughed a lot with him and had a tendency to roll her eyes at him in a friendly manner(example: when he told her that we traveled to Delta State to visit family the first time I visited him.) He will be able to travel in a weeks time!

A process we started in July last year, is nearly complete! I can't wait for him to be here!!
