So I just had my interview this week and here is my review. My consulate is Naples, Italy.

Since Im not from Italy I travelled there a day before the interview. My first stop was in Rome and then I had to take the Train from Roma Termini to Naples. it took me 1hr 20 minutes to get there and about another 20 mins to get to the hotel. I stayed at areamare.org , its a hostel which is situated only 5 minutes away from the consulate. It is really that close. Its supposed to be bed and breakfast but dont depend much on the bfast that the hostel offers. It's a very clean hostel though and the owner is nice and helpful. You will only need a taxi to go to the Istituto Diagnostico Varelli which is about 10 minutes away by car.

I was at the medical test at about 7.15am and I was the first one waiting. since I was first they called me at about 8.30am for blood test and then was told to go downstairs where 2 doctors were waiting with the names of all the applicants. They were checking that the applicants have all the vaccinations needed. I paid €180 there. They were very nice and well mannered. Make sure that you have all the vaccinations. Then we were called to go for Chest X-Ray and then back down to check blood pressure, a chest test and also height and weight. And that was it. they told me that if i dont hear anything till 1.30-2pm everything was fine and I can go to the consulate the day after.

At the consulate my interview was at 9am and i was there at around 8.15am. There were already other applicants that I saw at the medical test going in and after security check, where they gave me a number(Security can keep your cellphones) i was told to go up 2 floors and found other applicants waiting in a big room. I was called at the first window at about 10am so that they check papers and make sure that I had everything. A few people that were waiting with me were told to go get a different set of pictures coz the size was not right. Then I was told to pay at the cashier, which is in the same room, and then wait again for the consul to call my name. They asked me who filed the petition for me and asked me few questions about my paperwork. The consul only asked me where Im from, where I met my husband and the magic word that I got Approved!! I was out at around noon!

I was told to go to a mailbox where I could collect my passport with the visa in it and also the envelope that has to remain sealed. At the consulate they give you a map to go to this mailbox office at 5pm on that same day which is close to the consulate. €6.00 to be paid at mailbox to pick up passport and envelope.

I hope that you have a smooth journey and that this review is helpful to you all.

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am soo happy for u... i hope my hubby's interview is as easy as urs heheh so they didnt ask for any evidence huh wow!

i would like to ask if you got written the same thing on your visa (on passport) pls :

Upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year

It is written in very small fonts.... i thought that CR-1 is for 2 years.... am i right or that means something else?

EXCELENT NEWS His Wifey!!! I'm so happy for you both!!!

100% APPROVALS YEAH!!!!

My visa has the same thing.... Hubby and I just find that there's a fee to remove the conditions $565.... the aplication and biometrics stuffs.... What a big bussines!

thanks Eca and Ghetto.... no Ghetto they didnt ask for any evidence.... none whatsoever.... tell your husband to make sure that he has everything coz they get into details though while checking the papers.... even the size of the pics....

Congrats to you too Eca when are you going to the usa now?

Ghetto...they didn't ask for any proof from my husband either...he went with e-mails, letters I sent him through regular mail, phone logs & more pictures. They didn't ask to see any of that. My husband even asked them in his interview...don't you want to see any of this stuff & the interviewer told him no, we have all we need right here. But its better to be overprepared & have what they as for than not to have anything...you know just in case.

You know...I have no idea what we have to do now with the CR-1 visa once hubby gets to the US. We have to adjust status???? Oh boy...here we go again!

By the way, hubby called Aramex this morning and they said they have his visa in Amman and he can pick it up in his city of Irbid, tomorrow morning at 9 am!!! So he plans to book a ticket for next Friday!! I am so excited!!!

congratulation Amanda

ur Husband have CR-1 visa ...and so he doesnt need any adjustment ...

Adjustment are for ppl who already in USA or who are K1 filers ...

ur husband arrive ..get a two years conditional green card

before the expiring date of the card by 90 days ..he should file to REMOVE CONDITION

and as a result he gets a 10 years GC

and when its 3 years residceny with u he can file for citizenship , and then they take his GC and give him a citizenship certificate which in turn enable him to file to get a US passport and be exactly like u and the same right bla bla

Congratulations and my best wishes for a lovely good life together

and dont forget us in ur prayers

Adjust Status!! Nooooooooo... that sounds like a nigthmare to me!

Well, with the sealed envelope they give me some papers that talk about SSN... if you ask for it then it'll be send or if not... you must go to the office... The green card will arrive a few days later by mail in your home.... and other stuffs about taxes...

For now... that's all i know ...

and I'll be with Hubby on July 12th

Best wishes to all and good luck
