Hi CeeMu

My husband arrived at the embassy at 6.25 am, his interview was at 6.30. There are guards who directed him to where he was to sit. There was a group of other people. Here he was asked for the interview letter and passport.

There are several security checks 3 in total. The next step he takes a number and waits for the number to be called, here he was asked who invited him. He was asked for his original civil documents (copies of which I had submitted to NVC). Then he was told to sit down.

The next time his number was called, he went for biometrics. Then he was told to sit down and wait.

The next step he go his name called out, he proceeded to a window where he was directed. He found an African American woman, he was sworn in before anything. Then the questions followed concerning our relationship. How we met, where I work, how many kids. After a few questions it was all over.

My husband told me confidence is most important. He was not asked for any AOS document or even the DS 230. I did my 2014 taxes at the beginning of February so I had used the 2014 taxes when sending the AOS. No other document was asked. The whole process took about 5 hours and 30 minutes. It advisable not to drive because there is no parking, one should be dropped instead. I hope this gives you an idea don't hesitate to ask.

Thank for dear Ntwiga.. and congrats on your approval.

I appreciate your visual picture of what goes on at the embassy during embassy. I feel more relaxed. My daughter's file has not been closed but mine was. So we called NVC to speak with a rep and she assured us that we should be hearing from them in a few days. They asked for 2014 taxes which we had but we filled initially in February. we did not attach. my file was closed but my baby's file was checklisted for the taxes. I am praying this elongated wait will have an expiry soon.

Hi.My name is Silvia and this is my first post. We have our interview set for july 9th. I already have my medical examination and all documents but I have a big concern: in several places says you don't need to translate your documents if they are in the same language of the Consulate you're having the interview, but other places say you must translate everything to english. In my instructions letter doesn't say we must bring any translations (no documents mark with a T), but I was reading someone who was interviewed here in Costa Rica like I'm going to, got delayed for not having translations. Any thougts? We are applying for a CR1 Visa.

I understand the wait coz I have been in the process from Jan 2014 to now. It's a bad feeling. All I can assure you is that it will come to an end. Your baby and family will be together and intact soon. I almost felt like it shall never come to pass, but it did. In a few months your talk will be different, history shall have been made. I wish you and all the very best.

Hope the wait for Visa isn't to long but at least for Canada you can still go back and forth across the border.

There's nothing you are bringing to NVC to be translated. You have already turned everything in. So you are good. You translated everything when you sent to NVC correct. They might have been delayed because they did not do it. Or maybe they did DCF or maybe it was a K1.

I don't see what document you would need to translate when you have already turned it all in unless you didn't for NVC but you would have been checklisted by them.

I have added you to the spreadsheet. Welcome to the group and congratulations on the Interview date.
