Kingston Embassy Interview Experience

[foreverido 2]

The interview went well, however, a document is missing. They want a I-864A from us...hmmm. They never told us that before. So all we have to do is take that form in and we are golden.

The 864A is a Contract btw the Sponsor and the Household Member. My sponsor is married and they just want them both to sign the form. There were some interesting events at the embassy though, and it seemed a lot of people were missing that form, however neither USCIS or NVC asked us to fill it out so we were kind of upset about that lack of communication. The interview itself was short. She was very nice. We were sworn in. She asked:

-Have you ever been convicted of a crime or have problems with police?

-Have you ever traveled to the US

- Did you guys meet in the US?

- She asked my SO if she was Jamaican by birth

- Do you have children?

- Were either of you previously married?

Then she explained the form, handed it us and we have to return in 2 weeks and collect the visa.

That's all.

There was a family there that got into a lot of trouble because the husband lied about his police record. The lady we saw was the only one doing interviews. The interviewer was very upset with him and his lies. My SO was reading her lips and this is what she found out:

- he was arrested for armed robbery and served 4 years

- he had another arrest that his wife knew nothing about and he lied about it to the Officer.

- the Officer asked if he ever went to the US. he said yes. She asked for his passport. He hesitated. He then admitted to going up on someone

else's visa.

- She asked have you ever overstayed in the US. he said no. (conversation uncertain) but he was deported at some point

However the Officer had his record once he did the fingerprint, and I guess he didnt figure out they had all of that information on him.

They were told to wait for a phone call once the information she had on them was confirmed. The case may be sent back to the US since it

that's where his offenses occurred.

Key: Assume they know EVERYTHING!

Congrats!

The I-864A is just the simplified version of the AOS. Its the same form as I-864 just condensed. Another guy at the interview date I had didnt have this form either and was told to return. I guess you needed it cause your I-864 was never completed by NVC before they forwarded your case.

Well congrats and glad to hear you are about done.

Yes. The I-864A is what we needed at NVC when they kept sending us the RFEs for 2.5 months. So when we got to the embassy they took one look saw that was the issues, explained it to us and said get that form to us and collect your visa. The interviewer said that even thought everything else was ok...the form is just for the government so that they do things by the book.
