Interview day

[Laura and Ferlay 1]

I know I may be asking too much,

but can someone from Haiti give me the step by step instructions on how its going to be on Interview day. From the moment we are outside, till the time we are inside, till the moment we are outside again. I like very specific details so I can be semi-prepared. I understand every case is different but...ahhh....I'm so ready!!! Ferlay just submitted everything to the Haiti Messenger yesterday, so hopefully we will know when our interview will be soon.

Also, when he gets approved(In Jesus name!), can I come to the USA with Him...buy our tickets at the same time. Let me know. Thanks in advance

Read the embassy reviews for Port au Prince and you will find a lot of the information you are seeking.

Wake up extra early to get to the embassy by or before 7am

Stand in line outside.

Check your cell phones before entering the security check point

Go through 2 security check points

Someone will instruct your fiance to have a seat and wait to be called.

Gets called the first time for fingerprints

Called again to the window to hand in any new evidence and they may ask some questions about your case to prepare your file for the interview

Wait. wait and more waiting...you can hear interviews being done

There is a tv and clean bathrooms

Bing! Called again interview time!

Best of luck.

Outside the Embassy is controlled chaos. There were a lot of lines and none of them are marked and in the time I was standing there (we had an appointment with USCIS, so we were in a different line) I could not tell what each line was for. Around 7am they start letting people in. You can't take any electronic devices inside, so leave them in the car or check them at the table by the door. You also cannont take any water bottles, lotions, liquids of any kind, etc. inside. You'll go through a security checkpoint, where you have to remove your belt if you have one, so be prepared for that. Then you go outside and to the left. In that building you go through a metal detector again, but they are much more lax about it. Then you go into the waiting room on the left and wait, wait, wait until they call your name. You can hear them talk to the people at the windows if you sit close enough, which is interesting to me. They call names on a PA system and direct them to a window. It's got great air conditioning, so take a sweater if you get cold easily. And take a snack too. You might have to wait for a long time.
