Congratulations! Your visa is approved. You will receive your visa in about 1 week.

he says the interview was more like a conversation. haha.

The guy didn't ask for ANYTHING!! no evidence at all. so lucky us! some other people had to show photos or other evidence. so our case must have been good! alright!!! But my man also wore a really nice suit and tie. so he looked more professional. i think that really helped!!!

Now we are done with this visa stuff for 2 years!! THANK YOU GOD!!!

THANK YOU VJ MEMBERS!!! without all you we would have been lost!!

Congrats!!!

Here is the detailed account of the interview.

I was not there so everything is second hand and is whatever my man can remember.

Hope it helps anyone wondering how the interviews go!

He arrived early. about 1 hour early. there was no one waiting outside the embassy so it was easy to enter.

At the door he received some checklists and they security checked his bag twice.

The embassy was not that busy that day. only about 7 people were there for immigration visas at that time. (early morning)

There was probably only 2 people doing the visa interviews.

When entering the main building a lady gave him a number, and he took a seat. After waiting about 30 minutes they finally called his number. He went to the counter and a Japanese lady just checked some documents and he gave her his medical results and the expack 500 (envelope for sending the visa in).

She then asked in Japanese,

"What is your wife's father's name?"

"Is she working?"

then the lady was talking to herself and said something about how i have worked at my job for about 10 years. (apparently she was not impressed by it. whatever!! )

She then told him to go wait again. and he waited some more.

About 30 minutes later they called his number and he did the fingerprinting.

American girl was friendly and told him to go sit down again after it was done.

After about maybe 20 more minutes they finally called his number for the interview.

the interviewer is some american guy (LUCKY!! ). he took an oath and then he handed him some document to sign (ds-230??). then the interview began.

"When did you meet?"

"Does she study Japanese?"

"How many times did she come to Japan?"

"When did she leave Japan?"

"When did you get married?"

"Where did you get married?"

"How many times did she come back to Japan (after the marriage)?"

"Have you been to her house in the USA before?"

"How many times did you visit?"

"What do her parents think of you?"

"What kind of work do you do?"

"Will you do that in the USA?"

Congratulations! Your visa is approved. You will receive your visa in about 1 week.
