Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 5, 2017
Embassy Review : Interview result: Approved!

So my interview is scheduled at 9:40am. It was 9am when I got to the consulate and there has already been a queue for 9:40 interviewees. We have waited for almost an hour outside the office building until they let us in at about 10am.

First I was asked to submit the documents needed, they took my:
1. Medical examination results (open it in front of the staff)
2. Notarized birth certificate
3. Notarized marriage certificate
4. Police certificates ( I have both Chinese and Australian ones 'cos I have been in Australia for 2 years)
5. Form I-864
6. Photocopy of my husband's tax return for last year
7. My passport
8. Passport photo x 2

After that the lady staff asked me to wait to be called for interview.
At the interview I took an oath and the officer took my fingerprints. He asked me if I can speak English and I said yes.
To be honest, the interview is much easier than I thought. The officer didn't even asked me to show any evidence of relation ship but just asked me a few questions:
1. Who is your petitioner? What's his name?
2. When and where did you meet your husband?
3. When did you two become exclusive for each other? ( this is because my husband and I met as kids in China but then he emigrated to US with his family years ago...)
4. What is his job?
5. Where does he live?
6. How many times has he been to China after you're married?
7. What did you do in Australia during that 2 year's stay?
8. Are you a CCP member? Ever been?
Congratulations! You are approved. Good luck with your journey!

It has been a pleasant experience in general, except the fact that they kept us waiting too long outside the building. :P
Rating : Good
