Hello wonderful Visa Journey people!

So I called the 1800 number to get my interview appointment date and they told me May 18th. :( I saw Edwin and Mary's post, so I then tried calling the Interests Section. The connection was horrible, we could barely understand each other, and the woman on the other end hung up. I tried calling many more times, but the lines were busy. I ended up sending a fax to the interests section, and they emailed me that very day! I told them the situation and they said there was no way to move up the appointment.

So my husband and I decided to abandon the K3 visa process in favor of the approved I130 petiton, for the CR1 visa. I emailed the consulate to let them know this and they immediately changed it and gave us a CR1 visa interview for March 18th!

Thanks everyone for your help. Wish us luck! Oh, and also, now that we have the interview date for the CR1 visa, should he be expecting a packet of some sort? With instructions for the medical examination?

Thanks!!

How did the interview go?

Please let us know, and especially post on the Embassy Review section so that the info will be there even long after this thread gets lost. i know i wish there were a lot more reviews available there.

did you need an english-spanish interpreter? was it nerve-wracking walking up to the guards outside? how many questions did they ask? how much documentation of the relationship did you bring and did they look at it or just scan it?

thanks and i hope to hear wonderful news!
