interview questions on 3/2011

[jrmejia 31]

My wife and I thought the same, and sure enough it was asked. Jim is right. Couples that are really in love do plan their future together. My wife and I talk on skype every night and sometimes i would mention the weather here, events going on in this city, major attractions, the population, the name of the supermarkets i go to. I really just want her to know my town more. I also walked around my place with my laptop once to show and describe my place of residence to her. So she would have an idea of her future home. We really didn't expect them to ask the question. So expect the unexpected. My wife just answered like this " i've never been to the US nor his city, however my husband often talk about _ _ _ is a nice city with 2 big lakes. And it's known to be the live music capital of texas"

We discuss similar things while chatting or talking on the phone ....thanks for info.

Okay,i agree with questions about the town,but with the home it makes no sense,My husband is but himself now,so he lives in an apartment,not much to describe,it's not like we're having a house together and i have no clue to how it looks like,and i think after the family is reunited most of them up-grade to a different home,anyway my point is that the home that the spouse lives is it may not be the house that me and him are going to live in from now on,at least in my case

There would be no rational reason for them to ask about a home neither of you live in yet because it wouldn't be a valid reason to deny the visa. Clay summed it up nicely - they ask these questions because they're digging for a reason to deny. There have been numerous people whose fiancees and spouses have interviewed in HCMC and been denied, and a very common reason given is "Beneficiary did not know basic facts about petitioner", and then they list items from specific questions, like the home or town where the petitioner lives.

The consulate in HCMC is one of the toughest in the world because of the high level of visa fraud in Vietnam.

You are being prejudjed. They ask alot of these dumb questions that don't have a correct answer as a basis for turning you down. The CO's basicly feel that if the relationship is real then you will apply again. Many times the blue or pink is already typed so they have already made a decision. Even if you know all the answers they will keep digging until they find something. It's as simple as that. If you are being asked more than 10 questions then you getting blue. Now you have to wait a few months to get the letter from USCIS saying the case is past the expiration date then you can refile. This is the US govt for you. Welcome to the club.

The common blue slip as of late is the one in which they ask for both parties 10 years residence and the beneficiary's relative in the us, they typically give you a month to turn this in. Several members have turned it in early than the assigned date and were given pink on the spot.

Its Vietnam specific so it would not apply to Lagos.
