Santo Domingo Counsulate Interview

[jrobles25 0]

I have a question, I have been scouring VJ for consulate interview experience. My wife and I sometimes start discussing times, places, people... and she usually ends the topic with, I'm not worried about it only fake arrangements get denied. I keep reiterating the fact that she can be a little air headed sometimes and say probably the same thing I say differently. At some point I read somewhere that she's the only one they'll interview and since all the information I find is from 2013 down for instance I found something today from 2011, Does anyone know the best way to prepare for this interview I'm not sure I can go through this process again there's one shot to get it right and this has been the hardest thing I have ever done (long distance relationship) is killing our marriage. We know that it's eventually going to take it's toll on us. Lifeline please, on how to make sure we are ready for the interview.

You're not going to be there with her? DR is the ONLY embassy that wants to see both petitioner and beneficiary. Not required but HIGHLY recommended.

Oh I am going to be there. Just wondering about the interview n are they going to grill is both n stuff. I was a little confused because NVCs website states I do not need to be there and SD consul says I should be there like you said. Not mandatory but I should.

[Ilovemyman 147]

Well, try to be preper with all posible questions.

Try to know everything about her and that she knows everythingvabout you.

Sometimes you get a good consular officer and the interview is very easy.

They askv the normal questions that a couple can answer.

Just pray that you dont get interview by a woman with the face like a angry dog and with a lot of black hair on her arms, she has black hair on her arms like a man, if you go with this bicth get preper for a bad and hard interview.

Good luck and no worry,

Thanks for the warning..

Honesty is the way to go..Just be calm and truthful. YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ANSWER A QUESTION YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO. For example if they ask either one of you something to with before you guys got married or even dated, simply say "I don't know,we never spoke about that because it has something to do before we officially started dating". I totally agree with ilovemyman,it all depends who will interview you. You'll be fine, just leave it all in God's hands. Good luck!!!..btw when's your interview, if i may ask?

My husband and I got our interview on march 25th. Most of the questions were directed to him and when she asked me something it would be in english and then asked the same thing to my husband but in spanish. We we asked how we met, when did i come to the US, for how long we've been together and if we had a relationship when I was in the DR, my phone #, i I get to work, how many times a day do we talk, how many times i've been to the DR ( we were asked this questions a couple o times).

So you and your husband were together in the same room?..I have heard of couples being split,husband to one room,wife to another room.

We were together, the interview took place at a window, that's the way they have it set up. There is like 26 of them and you get call to one of them to have your interview. I didnt see anybody going inside or too a room. I did see people getting called by name instead of a number but i dont know the reason why.

Thank you so much for the information and clarification.

Thank you so much for the information and clarification.

They put people apart when they start to ask and you fail to answer some quesrions, then they put apart and make thousand of questions

Yes, the interviews are usually standing in front of a window, if there is a something wrong with the case, or the answers, it would be up to the CO to separate them...it all depends. You may get a CO who is already bored and annoyed, or get a real nice CO who happens to be a girl in her 20s, During the day of my interview, everyone had theirs in front of the windows, didn't see any couple being separated.

I found so many possible questions on line which I reviewed with my spouse before the interview. There are basic information that the couple should know about each other, like place of birth, if you have met her/his family, what kind of job both have, if any of you have each other family, if other relationships or marriages. Other questions how you met, (I met my spouse on line and we were asked which website; I read one experience, not in the DR, that the woman was asked why she had to go to a website to find a husband and why a husband from the US and not from her country?),. . It certainly depends on the case most of the times...in my case, I have family in the US and I was asked if I was petitioned before, same question for the AOS.

The most important thing is to be honest..if you check this link http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Dominican+Rep&cty=&dfilter=5 you can read the reviews of the embassy and interviews from Vjs users.

Good luck!
