For those about to interview for a CR-1 visa, my husband had his interview this morning and said he was in and out in half an hour. The only question they asked him was "What do you plan to do for work in the US?", and the rest was just paper shuffling. They didn't ask to see anything at all pertaining to our relationship - just the official stuff from their basic list.

He said the staff was polite and helpful and the process was organized and efficient. They didn't have his file from his medical last week, but they allowed him to go pick it up after the interview. When he returned, they said he'd have his visa within a week. No sweat!

Good luck to everybody whose turn is coming up soon! :thumbs:
