Casa interview Q and A

[jerseygal 0]

I am really nervous about my husband's interview date in 13 days. I looked at the reviews here on VJ about the Casa consulate but I still wanted everyone to just tell me a little bit more. Some say that the I-134 was not asked for some say that it was. I sent one anyway but I forgot to send my offer letter from my job. Should I send it now?

it wouldn't hurt, but it may not get there in time, unless you could fax it or scan and email it.... not sure it matters at this point. BTW, if you search the forum, there are some posts abt potential Q's asked at interviews... might be helpful in preparing your husband.

I think it all depends on which interviewer your husband gets. Now we did a K1, but my husband had the "easy" guy. He didn't look at any of the police certificates, or the I-134 at all. My husband just went through our pictures with him, and was asked briefly about my family, and that's about it.

Thanks guys I guess I am just nervous.

hicham had the infamous CO and she was very nice with him and they even laughed together. She didn't ask for our financial papers. It's a good idea to send them but more importanly make sure your fiance knows everyyyyything about you and your family and will show them all of your evidence.

Good luck!

I totally agree with Sarah...Jamal had the same CO he was drilled about me and my family...so make sure that you got that covered...ther than that just tell him to relax and be truthful...I feel that these are the most important aspects to look for...Good luck...he will do good... we all will send out some major MOJO to Casa....

My husband sat in the waiting room (in late July) all day and listened to several interviews - it was very entertaining for him. He told me that a few of the guys were applying for fiance visas and were being asked things about their fiancee's families -- especially name and ages of the woman's children, her mother's name, her age and current occupation, where she went to university, etc. He said he found the big mistake the guys were making was being overeager to answer the right way instead of just being honest (he watched one guy repeatedly say "I love America!" after every time he missed an answer). He said the interviewers were speaking a mix of Darija and French depending on what was needed.

Make sure your fiance knows everything about you, DOB, where you live, address, what you do... and the same things for your family. They can ask anything and it's better to be overprepared than underprepared.

Here's how I look at it. When I was in college and we were going to have a test one teacher gave us a list of 100 questions and said ok 25 of these will be on the test so we memorized everything since we didn't know what would be asked.

Be honest, be prepared and organized. Once again- they need to see all of your evidence. Incorportate it into the interview if they don't specifically ask for it.

Good luck!

I just finished readig all the reviews for Casa. I think I'm going to be sick. I hate feeling like I have something to prove to a stranger. My grandparents were married forever and I know my grandfather could not be able to tell Casa onething about my grandmothers family. That does not mean that he loved her any less it just means that he could not care less as he would say.

I wish I could just make them in Casa see that.

I'd like to thank the ladies who've posted for your insights...is there some working list of the questions they may ask at interview? I'd like to believe Farid and I know everything about eachother but really how do you KNOW unless you get asked something that you don't have an answer to. LOL In which case it's perfectly acceptable to say...hmm I don't have an answer for that question...I'm not sure. So just relax , be honest, and push your evidence on them.

There is a list somewhere in one of the threads of ME/NA. I want to say it's the 221g thread but I can't remember. It's there though!

Mostly stuff like DOB, how did you meet, what does she do, when did she visit...

My fiance and I tested before the interview, he knew everything about me from birth til present.

The only thing is that I am older then him by 15 years. So many things to bring into consideration.

We are currently waiting to be reviewed by Vermont, hopefully they will take a good look!
