CR-1 interview last week in Taiwan and POE via Detroit

[miker32us 6]

My wife and I went to her interview last week in Taiwan. They have a 3-step process there. The 1st window checks you in and and looks at your interview letter to make sure you are supposed to interview that day, the second window checked her CR-1 application papers and approved them and asked us to wait for the State Dept agent to interview her. He looked over her papers, swore her in and only asked one question..."Do you plan to immigrate to the US", she said yes and he stamped the papers and we were finished. I don't know if the reason for this short process was that she had already received her K-3 and has been living in the US since last September.

In Taiwan they take your passport and send it to you via courier. We got it in 3 days, they had stamped TERMINATED without PREJUDICE on her B-2 and K-3 visas and added the CR-1 visa stamp.

The POE in Detroit only took a few minutes. There are 2 windows for Special Processing, numbers 37 and 38 which have the fingerprinting device. The USCIS agent asked us our wedding date, took her fingerprints and stemped her passport.

Basically it sounds like the same thing my wife went through at AIT in Taipei. Three steps, first step is as you say, check in show your passport and interview letter, and DS part 1 and 2. second step (after waiting two hours) check out the CR-1 application papers but asked a lot of questions. third step, interview and only a few questions.

My wife may have had a few more questions, but as you say since you already had a K3 it may have been more streamlined for your wife.

By the way, as far as the "big brown envelope" yes they told her it would arrive in two to three days by courier, but to her surprise, later that day after she got home from AIT, they called and asked her if she would like to receive it that night!

Not sure where you were at, you said Taiwan but you didn't specify your location, or to whether you were dealing with Taipei or Kaoushing AIT, but congrats!

Hello,

Anyone with CR1 AIT Taipei interview experience:

1. What supporting documents did you bring with you to the interview?

2. Did you bring coppies of the forms you submitted to USCIS and NVC? Is this required?

3. Specifically is it required to bring a copy of the I-864 with its supporting documents at the time of interview.

Thanks,

Doug
