Hi,

As far as questions asked during the interview I think it has a lot to do with the interviewer and the information provided. She said she had a very nice young woman so that is half the battle. Since I also applied for her son there were 2 interview. I managed to open a joint bank account, worked at the same job for the last few years and filed a W-7 with a joint tax return. For the W-7 you must submit the original notarized copy of her complete passport and pray they don't loose it :wacko: (have her send both notarized copies, you usually get 2) Email W-7 and page for signatures on the 1040, let her sign and email back. That worked. I also provided a notarized letter from her son's father stating he agreed to allow him to immigrate which is required anyway and should be included in initial application or with NVC. She said she interviewed in Chinese without that being a problem. Her interview was short. She said 5 minutes but it was probably less. The questions she remembered:

How did we meet?

When did we marry?

Where does he live?

Maybe 1 or 2 other nonconsequential ones.I believe they have usually decided before the interview (at least for the married person, but that is my guess).

The questions asked of my son (15 y/o):

How old are you (him)?

Did I meet him?

Does he love me? (bad question but I guess I would have children say yes)

What is his favorite subject?

She did say she saw some others that took 10 to 15 minutes for the interview but of course no one knows the circumstances for that.

Hope that was a help.
