We arrived at the consulate around 6:20 and everyone was inside already. We sat down and around 7:30 were asked to Window 21 where a very nice South American lady asked us for his passport and updated police certificate. She went through all of our files and gave us back papers she didn't need. She asked us if we had any kids in common and we said No. She looked at us, smiled, took a green ticket placed it on the top of our file, asked that we go straight to Window 17 for fingerprints and said nicely " I wish you the best of luck". I already knew the green ticket was a good thing so I was all happy and told my husband we got it baby,.....
We went to Window 17 for fingerprints and sat down. Around 8:45 we were called to Window 23 where a mean looking White American was waiting for us. With a very thick accent where I could barely understand his spanish asked that we raise our right hands and swear to tell the truth. He looked at us very seriously and asked the following questions:
Do you have any kids in common? - No
When did you meet? - As kids
When did you start dating? - April 2010 while we were both on vacation in DR
To me, while my husband is standing next to me:
How many times had i been to DR to see him after we started dating? - 6 times in less than 2 years
Do you have any pictures from your trips? - Yes and I gave him a stack of papers with copies of pictures with names, dates and location
Do you have a job? Yes I do
How much do you make? 86k a year
How long have you been working there? May 2011, I have the w2 from 2011 if you want to see it
No thank you he says.
To my husband while i'm standing next to him:
Have you applied for a US visa before: No
Have you travelled to another country before: Yes, I have a Spanish GC and lived there for 6 years until we were married in July.
He said Oh OK.
He then looked on his computer for a minute then looked at us, ripped half of the green ticket from our file and said very coldly: SU VISA HA SIDO APROVADA
We hurried down to pay DOMEX and were out the door by 9:15am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
