Interview for CR-1 @ Tokyo

[Ring Ring 0]

Congratulations!!!!!

Hope you don't mind me asking a question...

The passport photos you took to the interview - are these in addition to the two you sent in with DS-230?

Domo arigatooooo!!

That's right.

I turned in additional 2 passport size picture of myself

@ US embassy in Tokyo just before my interview.

Although, I had already sent them my passport size pictures

with DS-230 a few months ago...

I thought I didn't have to at first. I had extra picts so

I just turned them in without asking them. Maybe you can

ask them if you really need to. If you have to turn picts in addition

you can still take picts @ the machine inside embassy.

>Got a chair, filled out the form. My name, address, phone number,

>address / phone number in the US. The form also tells us to place

>documents in order. #1 : 2x passport picts, #2: passport.........

>I already filed most of doc, so I just put my picts, passport,

>ExPack* and med doc + Xray.

never took that many passport picts before.

I had to take one for medical check!

so basically, those 2 pictures, the last 2 pictures you turn in,

will be on your VISA.

I recommend you to have pictures ready so you have less things

to worry about. just my opinion...

Thank you so much for getting back to me so promptly! My case is for my mom, 67-year old Japanese woman, doesn't speak a word of English! Anyway, you and your husband's posts are full of excellent information, I am so glad that you've decided to share them with us all.

Wishing you many, many happy days ahead!

Thank you so much.

oh, how gutsy your mother is!!

I forgot putting this info...

They will also give you a small ziplock kinda plastic bag.

You need to prepare two passport size picture, on back of

those pictures, you need to write your name in full in

capital letters, and put them into the bag.

At the beginning of my interview, I was asked if I could

understand English, I said ... uh..yes.

I just wonder what if I said nop...

But they never said, understanding English is necessary condition

so, I think there is nothing for you to worry about.

I saw some Japanese people in their 60-70s in the waiting room.

I should've talked to them...

Say big hello to your mother aka gutsy woman!

Thanks for the great interview information! I sent it to my fiance so she can know what is in store for her. She has the flu now and I want her to feeling as confident as possible on the 20th!

Oh an KANPAI!

Congratulations!! You can also copy your post above on the link for embassy reviews, that's what we did.

You're lucky to live so close to the embassy. My husband and I used to live in Saitama, Iruma-shi. I have a few friends that live in Shibuya. At least we didn't have to travel from some where in the Tohoku region

Congrats again!!

Where in Iruma-shi did you and your husband live? My fiance lives there currently! I have visited the area a few times over the past year.

Funny that someone lives in the same city as her.
