:unsure: nervous.. my wife's interview is tomorrow in RIO... i couldn't be there with her cause i just started a job... she's so so nervous herself as well... thanks for all ur support...

bahiabrazil,

As i write this response, it is 9:20 in brazil. She is inside the Consulate now and has been taken to an area where the K1 applicants are processed, which is away from most of the others that were in line this morning. She is organizing her documents and waiting to ba called. She's probably talking with other Fiancees that are also in the room waiting to be interviewed.

Fernanda also had to go alone. The Interview was only about 10 minutes. The CO was very nice. They talked about her city, shared some of our photos together and laughed at the personalized stamps on the letters that I wrote. She asked 3 or 4 questions and that was it. Fernanda called me about this very time! 9:20 in Brazil!!! She was approved!

So don't worry, even though it is perfectly normal, she'll be OK.

Good luck,

Joey

SHE DID IT!!! :jest::dance::thumbs: Wow, what a day... I didn't find out until I got home from work cause she nor I couldn't call and she didn't have email access.... anyway, it was a nerve wrecking day!! But yes, she did it and all went pretty smoothly...

THANKS FOR ALL UR SUPPORT!!!

Here's how she told me it went:

They gave her a checklist but she noticed that there were a few documents not listed there and assumed they gave her the wrong one.. later, they told her they gave her the wrong one.. but she was prepared and had her own checklist (i made for her from VJ) and the documents they needed. Got called up for the interview with a guy who intensely stared in her eyes when he asked the first question (probably trying to intimidate her).. anyway, she stared back, confidently replied politely... at which time, he stopped giving her the tough look...

Questions he asked:

He first asked her when did we meet, how did we meet, when did the relationship became serious, did we live together when I was there in Brazil for a year... looked through the documents.. and seemed to be satisfied so far.. but continued asking pretty banal questions as did you commit any criminal? Are you healthy? and that was it until the last part where he noticed I didn't make enough money last year 2006 and I would need a join sponsor but she said she does have a joint sponsor (my dad) then gave him the package for my Dad.. he took the documents then looked at her, then said, ok.. then checked a green card to give to her and told her to go pay for the Sedex to have her passport sent back to her!!! The CO didn't ask any proof of our relationship, probably because we lived together for over a year. She was also very nervous because, she tried to apply for a tourist visa twice and got turned down which never came up in the interview.

The CO was brief to the point, so was she. She was so nervous that she started seeing him a bit blurry in the beginning...

Other Interviews:

She spoke to a girl in tears that was missing a police certificate and spoke with another one whom consulted a lawyer but had no idea about what to expect for the interview... I'm sure any of VJers would do a much better job at helping people prepare, now that we've gone thru it...

Anyway... it seemed endless but with perseverance, research, we can do it.... SHE'S COMING HOME!!! THANKS, OBRIGADO and may the light shine upon you as it was upon us!!! :star:
