Widow visa interview questions please!!!!!!

[Ajk3visa 12]

Hi everyone. 

Does anyone know which kinds of questions in the interview day will be asked for a widow who had her approved I 130 converted into an approved I 360 self petition?!. 

 

I heard the interview officer will ask questions from the forms were submitted at USCIS, but after my husband passed away, NVC converted those forms to an i 360 and they will send the approved I 360 to the US embassy for the interview, so where will the officer get the questions from? From the I130 and i 130a forms  before they were converted to an I 360 or from the I 360 form that was converted by NVC and sent to the US embassy?! 

Please help me figure out what kinds of questions a widow will be asked at the  interview day. 

I searched a lot in the Internet but i never find any website that talks about kinds of questions will be asked to widows who applied for GC.

I would think (only my opinion) they would ask 

where do you intent to live?

why do you still  want to go to US when husband died?

do you intent to work or study?

do you have other family here?

do you currently have a USC bf? 

questions of that nature

I agree with JeanneAdil and Try to be honest with your answers.

Thank you so much. I hope they only ask those kind of questions and not more. I will be with my daughter at the interview day and the US embassy in Amstardam doesn't have a daycare. I am worried my 2 year old child may start screaming and interrupt me which may make the officer angry. Cuz i also heard it depends on the officer mood.

Maybe somebody can come with you (not during the interview because that is not allowed in AMS) that can look after your daughter while you are doing the interview? Just so you will be able to focus on the interview?

 

Do you have somebody that you trust to look after her for that hour or so?

No i dont have anybody to look after her. You mean somone who waits outside the embassy with my child to look after her while im doing my interview inside the embassy?! Its not a good idea cuz in the Netherlands they dont allow mothers to leave their kids with strangers, and i never do that, another reason, my child needs to be with me during the interview day cuz she will immigrate with me to the US although she has a US passport through her father so she is American. And cuz of that, she will be considered to the US embassy eyes, one of the bona fide marriage evidences and one of the reason why I want to return to USA and live there closed to her family there in the US. So she has to be with me inside the embassy. And if incase I found someone I trust to accompany us, he or she will not be allowed to enter without an appointment for them. This case is so complicated to me now . I never trust anyone to watch after her outside the embassy while im inside and im pretty sure the interviewer will ask about her to see her cuz she is my late husband daughter.

I am Dutch! 😊😉

And I think no country would allow somebody to leave their child with a stranger..

 

I did not mean to leave her with a stranger, but with somebody you knew..

But as you stated, she will need to come in with you as she is also immigrating so that would not work anyway. 

 

Good luck on your interview, I hope all goes well!

If the child I s already a US citizen with a US passport , as stated, she herself is not immigrating .. she is relocating with her mother. The Consulate does not need to see her ... children of a relationship are unfortunately not strong evidence of a bonafide relationship for immigration.. 

IMO, if OP doesn’t have a suitable person to have her child stay with while at the interview, then she should notify the consulate that she needs to bring her child with her. I imaging they will need to know she is coming to the interview for security purposes

Probably will be simple questions. If "why do you still want to go to US?" is asked, then inform them that the US is the most viable choice for living with your daughter. As you mentioned in your other thread, your daughter only has US citizenship and the Dutch authorities are hesitant in giving both of you long-term status because they believe you'll get an immigrant visa for the US.

When i read bona fide marriage, having a child is one of them. She was born after the marriage. I dont mean i need to have her in the enbassy to make the bona fide marriage evidence more strong, there are other reasons. Im not dutch. My child was born in my home country and my government didnt issue her my nationality so she only has one nationality, US. So instead they give her my nationality, they issued her a deportation paper to go back to USA just cuz her father isnt muslim. So i had to leave my home country and wait for my husband to visit us in the Netherlands until my wife visa get approved but he died. Then i had ro apply for asylum in the netherlands cuz i cant go back to my home country since its not safe for us anymore, but the dutch asylum was denied last week cuz of my strong ties to USA as my third safe country.  So i contacted the US embassy so many times to tell them the story.  So im pretty sure they want to see her and see her deportation paper from my home country to USA.  You can read my story in the ( if the petioner passed away in k3 visa section).

i guess they may ask for the asylum story report in my interview day and the denial decision letter too. Its just a complicated story. 

 

So i have a feeling my interview will be so long and with more additional questions about my asylum journey. And im tired of interviews cuz last week i was interviewed twice for the dutch asylum and it was denied cuz of USA tie. I have no ideas what kind of questions i will be ask at my us visa interview. I have interview phobia now after my dutch asylum interview was denied 😨

You will be fine.  Embassies and consulates see children with their parents all the time.  Answer their questions truthfully and explain your story when asked.  Although it's stressful try to be calm, look the officer in the eye and do your best to be confident and hopefully your US visa will be approved.  Good luck!

I totally agree with you @Lil bear. On my interview day I was worried too about my US born son who is 2, I knew it would be a bad idea going in with him because he always wants my full attention, so I simply had a friend come with me and he sat in the car with my kids and I went to the interview holding just their birth certificates and passports. To OP trust me, the US embassy is aware about your child (they don't joke with their citizen kids) questions came up about them and I answered truthfully and when asked where they were, I said in the car outside with a friend looking after them. To OP, just like @Lil bear said they are relocating and will not be a problem if your kid stays out with someone you trust meanwhile you concentrate on your interview, because you never can guess the CO's mood especially if you stand infront of the booth and being asked questions and you are busy minding your kid. All the same good luck and remember most questions will be focused on you and your late husband, do not forget any bit of info which concerns him, how he passed away, who was there, how long did you stay together,does he have any kids,where is his family,how did he get to the states,who will support you while there,do you intend to remarry,where did you work before,how did you meet,when and where did you get married etc.

The child will be fine. Bring her a toy or paper and coloring pencils to keep entertained while you’re interviewing/waiting on the next step. Some snacks and water if it’s a long wait.

Thanks a lot.  So i should start making friends to find a good friend who i can trust so he or she may accompany me to the embassy. Yes my child hates it when i dont pay her full attention while i talk to someone else and she starts yelling at me and the other person I'm talking to and screams NO so i pay her full attention and she jumps on me asking me to carry her all the time and then i will never have a chance to continue talking to a friend so its not a good idea to have her inside the embassy with me at the interview day cuz she may cry begging me to let her enter through the interview window to talk to the interview officer instead of me otherwise she starts her tantrum disaster and the whole ppl inside the embassy will try to calm her down but she will never calm down till she does what she asked for lol. She did that a lot during my doctors appointments. Pray for me all i find a good trusted friend who agrees to babysit her during my interview day 😥.

No, if you don't know anyone,I advice you take her along. The embassy always has a section with toys for kids and I am sure your child won't be the only child in there so she will be able to make new "friends" . You may be lucky that during your interview, she falls asleep in your arms and everything will be smooth. I was fortunate to have someone who accepted to help me stay with my kids (6 & 2). I was thinking of asking you, have you thought about getting your police report from Saudi Arabia ready? Because you will definitely need one from there.
