had the interview on 13 April 2009 in Dominican Republic. we both had all documents, pictures, etc. the process took just about all day. in DR, you actually interview through a window. the interviewer has all your previously submitted documentation and is looking at it as she asks you questions. in fact, for us, that is where the questions came from - the previously submitted documentation. any of the documentation you submit, such as I-130 application, K3, K1 or whatever, you need to know what you filled out on those forms (ie parents names, spouse education/occupation, birthdate, etc). those are all fair game for interview questions. Also, they look at your 'body language' as you approach the interview window. are they holding hands, hugging, walking up to the window separate or together, how you look at each other, etc. that is not imply you walk up to the interviewer hanging over each other, but just keep in mind you should appear as a couple going through this process together. for us, we were asked 3 simple questions.

both - when did you meet?

wife - where did you learn english?

me - how did you meet?

both - does your wife/husband have any children or ever been married before?

that was it. the entire interview took less than 10 minutes. while she asked the questions, she was looking at me, my wife, looking at our expressions, demeanor towards her and each other.

these are just a few notes to share with everyone, especially those whose interviews are coming up..
