Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiance said the interview only was 5 mins. spoke English.
Asked him few questions:
About his previous student visa
How we first met
When and how we got engaged
What is he going to do when he comes to America
Talked about pictures he took

Interviewer was nice to him and they joked around.
Very good experience!

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The interview was scheduled for 8 am. While the instruction said only my wife need to be there, I decided to fly over and be with her. My case was solid and all paper works were in order, so I am pretty sure she would have been approved anyway, but I went there anyway.

We were knocking at the door at 7:15am, but they told us the door does not open until 7:30 am, so we hung round until 7:30 am. We took the 'number tag' and we were #5. We were called shortly after 8 am and submitted (re-submitted...) all the paper work. Then about 15 min later, my wife was called for fingerprinting. Then at 8:40 am, #1 was called for interview. The interview was not in a separate room, but in the same room where everyone was waiting. The counseler officer was inside the booth and the interviewee was standing in front of the window answering questions. When we were called, I went with my wife. The interview was held in KOREAN ! The officer was an American, but very fluent in Korean. Me, a US citizen being there and taking an oath was definiely helpful, but would not have made the situation better if the paper works were not in order. I took the oath together with my wife. The questions were rather basic. When did you get married? How did you meet your husband? What do you plan to do when you go to US?

The officer was very friendly. He asked me if I was stationed in Korea, and even commented on the romanization of my family name (I spelled differently than the standard version Korea surname). In any case, by 9 am, everything good and we got approved.

One thing, we forgot to sumbit the US embassy form where you have to make arrangement of the shipping company to deliver the VISA to the spouse's address. However, they did not reject us because of this. We had to complete the form on the spot, then told we have to go to the website and submit on-line, which I did after we went back home.

We were 3 weeks delayed for the interview, because I did not submit the 'police record' with the initial NVC form. I thought the 'police record' was needed during interview only, but that was not the case. Had I submitted the police record the first time, the interview date would have been early Jan or late Dec... But this will all be irrelevant, as Obama will overhaul this absurd immigration law this year...
