[donandjacky 0]

Well, my CR1 visa arrived yesteday in the mail and I thought I'd share with you my interview experience... I had my visa interview on July 26th and got my visa in the mail a week later

I got the the Emabssy at 10:45 (my appointment was for 11am) and just stood in the line behind about 5 other people waiting... right away the security guard came up to me and asked to see my passport and tried to find me on her list... but I wanst on there!!!! Thank God I had my appointment letter with me.... One of the women working at the Embassy came up to me and asked me for my documents.... I told her that I had already submitted the form and what documents she wants? She was like >>> HUH!? You've already submitted something? Why? When? How? (this happend to us before when we submitted form I-130 - they didnt seem to know what we were wanting to do...) I gave her my cover letter that I wrote to the Embassy when I submitted the Visa Application and she still didn't understand... She went away with it and came back 5 minutes later and told me I was in the wrong section lol (this was the visa section though..and I was there for a visa?) anyway... I didnt have to wait in the line and could go in first of all the people waiting outside the door too... the security guide inside gave me a ticket told me to slip it under window 6 and to sit down...I didnt have to wait long...maybe 5 minutes and was called to window 6 where the same lady that we had last time (when we submitted I-130) was at.... she looked through all my documents... and asked me some questions about the forms... After that I had to go pay the fee and wait again...this time about 40 minutes... then I was called to window 4 for the interview itself. He asked me:

• Where am I going to live
  
• When did we meet
  
• When did we get married
  
• When am I intending on going over to the States
  

After answering ALL those questions, he said.. well, looks good to me.. we got everything here.. do you want us to mail you the visa or are you picking it up? I said to mail it please ...and that was it! I even asked..that was it? he said yes and laughed...and I could go the interview was max. 5 minutes... And he didn't look at any of the photos and letters etc I had brough for evidence...

DCF in Switzerland was a very pleasent experience - it took us 1 month start to finish >>> Filed I-130 on June 27, 2006, Visa was issued on July 27, 2006
