Hi,

Below is a list of questions that I came across doing pre-interview research. At my fiance's interview, he mentioned that they asked him when we met, why were marrying in the US instead of India, whether we had any engagement function, and whether his family was accepting of the marriage.

Questions often asked at Embassy in Delhi

• How did you meet?

• How did the relationship begin and when did the engagement happen?

• What is your occupation and the occupation of you fiancé?

• When did your fiance come to India?

• Did you have any engagement like function? Why not?

• Where will you live in America?

• Why do you want to get married in US instead of India?

• Did your family and your fiance’s family approve of this relationship?

• Will I marry once you are in the US? When? Who will attend the wedding?

• Do you plan on working when you get to the US?

• What is your fiance's age?

• What is your fiance’s date of birth?

• How did you keep in touch with your fiancé when you were apart?

• What are your parent’s names and what did they do for a living?

• What are your fiance’s parent’s names and what did they do for a living?

• How do you plan on learning English?

• How will you reconcile religious issues? (i.e., Will you or your fiancé convert? How will your children be raised? What holidays will you celebrate?)

• Where do your fiance's parents live?

• What do you love about your fiance?

Trick Question

Interviewer: What do you want me to do

Beneficiary: Give me that K-1(3) visa so that I can go to the United States and be with the person I love.

Interviewer: Are you sure?

Beneficiary: Very sure.

Advice For Your Interview

The following information may not apply to all Embassies/Consulates .. it is just a general guideline

1. Do not volunteer information. For most questions, the shorter and more direct the answers are, the shorter the interview and the higher the chance of success. If the question is a yes or no question, give yes or no answers only. If the question is a simple question like "What is your name?" answer simply with your name.

2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."

3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your husband's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your wife before her interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.

4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Also, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.

5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.

For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your husband?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like him very much. Here is a picture of him with my mother and father at my parent's home."

Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have some lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."

6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.

7. Dress well, but not overdressed.

8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.

9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.

10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions so that your face remains pleasant and cordial.

11. Be audible so that your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.

12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.

13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my husband about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down.

14. If the interview is in another city than the one you live in, arrive a day or two early to complete biometrics and get the results of your medical exam.

15. Arrive early to the consulate, but also be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.

16. It is rare for the consulate to give you a visa on the spot. Be prepared to return for it or have it delivered to you, if approved.

17. Many Embassies/Consulates do not allow cell phones or food inside. Eat well before your interview and be prepared to leave your cell phone outside.

For the interview, your SO should bring everything listed in the document sent from your embassy/consulate. As well you need to include the following.

1. Original marriage documents, translations and certifications.

2. Formal, long form birth certificate.

3. Copies of any divorce records or death decrees of former SO(s).

4. Passport, with an expiration date of no earlier than 6 months. Try to have more than 6 months before expiration.

5. Police certificate with "Nothing" written on it, indicating no criminal record

6. Fingerprints (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where these will be taken). There is a separate fee for this at some embassies/consulates.

7. Medical exam results (consulate will instruct you regarding how, when and where this will be taken). There is a fee for this. Make sure you get a copy from the medical examiner.

8. Passport type photos of each of you. (consulate will instruct you regarding these)

Advice for Seminars in Manila

- Get there early. They have limited slots for the session times they have. She got there 9:45 and got the last slot for the 10AM session

- No need to bring your brown envelope, you know - the DO NOT OPEN envelope you get from the Embassy after your interview. Some people had them in hand.

- Bring Passport, make sure you photocopy the passport and visa. Photocopy also the following: NBI clearance, Birth Certificate and CENOMAR. Bring some pictures of you and your fiance together. I read here that some people were asked to show these. Joan was never asked for any of the above except for her passport and visa photocopies.

- No need to bring passport pictures. They take your pictures before the seminar

- We went to PRISM which was close to CFO building so it was easy to get from one to the other to get the sticker after the seminar. Joan noticed there were some who came from St Mary's in QC to get their sticker at CFO. So we're not sure that they were giving stickers at St Mary's too or you still need to get it at CFO. If that's the case then PRISM is a lot closer.

- Bring valid picture ID. They need one in exchange for a visitor's ID at CFO

- Be sure your fiance knows your Address, phone number, Educational background, Year of Migration (if Naturalized), Mother's maiden name of USC,

- One on one counseling wasn't too harsh or bad as I've read. They asked the following questions:

> How, When and Where we met

> USC's Educational Background

> Do we have kids?

> Do you really love him?

> Are you ready for life in the U.S.

Then she was just given advice on what to do if problems arise in the marriage.

The PDOS took 2 hours and 15 minutes. There's a film showing, then you're grouped by destination and given advice and instructions as a group. The one on one counseling followed.

The CFO sticker took another 2 hours. It may be because we went straight there after the 10AM PDOS and it was lunch hour and CFO. I'm still baffled why it takes 2 hours to put a sticker on her passport but oh well... we're done. I suggest you download the PDF application online and fill it up before going to CFO. That way you're ready and don't waste time when you're there.
