Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Our interview was at 7:45am.

7:20 got to the embassy with the petitioner (were maximum 5 people already there, one woman with 3 kids before us)
7: 25 got inside (left phones and went up to the 2nd floor where they checked passport, 2 photos and document return address registration)
Went to the 3rd floor and got called to the window where Korean lady was asking questions and checking papers.
The lady asked: How long you been married? where does your spouse live? some other questions I cant remember but not complicated
Then she said she will give the documents to the officer who will interview me and I sat down.
Waited around 1.5 hours or more from the moment we entered and was called for an interview with another male officer with petitioner.

He asked:
Where did you meet?
The timeline of our relationship.
Why we married relatively early> my husband replied (met 2019 march, married 2020 January)

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The petitioner was present with the beneficiary.

The interviewer spoke Korean asked us about
- When we met
- How long did you meet before tying the knot
- Where does the husband live?
- Why was the beneficiary in foreign country for more than a year? What was her job there?
- What does the husband do for living?
- When was the last time the beneficiary visited the states?
- Since the petitioner was living in Korea, interviewer asked if the petitioner will follow suit when the beneficiary leaves

Above questions were asked in a natural dialog. We exteremely thankful that the interviewer was mindful of our nervousness and even used Korean honorifics to make us feel at ease.

As a side note, we overheard a lady, a K1 beneficiary also being interviewed. She also was given a choice to do the interview in Korean or English. The lady chose Korean.

All in all, they seem to run a tight ... read complete review
