Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Interview appointment at 8, husband was finished and back at the cafe by 10:15. Saw 3 female fiancé/spouse visa applicants denied before he was called. He was the first male fiancé/spouse applicant. Interview lasted under 5 minutes.
He started off by saying, "What's uuuuup?" twice. The older, blonde, female CO seemed surprised by that and said, "'What's up?' This is an interview!" My husband said, "Yes, this is an interview, but I want it to be a casual chat, I don't want to feel like I'm being interrogated in a police station." He then caught her cracking a smile that she tried to hide, and she started the interview.
She asked:
How did we meet
what kind of site was that/why were you on it
what attracted you to her
What religion is she
when did you meet her parents
Tell me about your wedding
What does she do for a living
what do you do for a living
when was her first visit
When did you get engaged and when did you get married
when was the last visit
Several of these had a few follow ups, like after asking about the wedding, she asked if it was big or small and asked who from my side attended the wedding. It moved quickly and my husband had the impression it was decided before he started talking. Twice he offered to show her evidence related to her questions, like photos when she asked if the wedding was big, and both times she said no, she had everything she needed. She was typing throughout the interview and seemed to just want to get it over with as quickly as possible. Then she said congratulations on your visa to the US and it was over. Visa in hand 2 days later.
We felt the CO was professional and the interview was straight-forward. No complaints!
