   | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa 
 My wife's appointment was at 9:30 AM, but she her document intake wasn't until 10:30.  All original documents specified in the Interview Letter were asked for and given.  She was asked if she had any other I-864s from other sponsors (no, she didn't).
 
 Almost immediately after the document intake, she had her interview.  The interviewer was extremely pleasant. Four total questions:
 
 1) How did we meet? (Internet)
 2) How many times have I visited her? (7 times, going on 8)
 3) How did we communicated, considering that her English isn't good.  (When we video-chat, we use Google Translate for the rough spots.  When we really get stuck, we write more detail in our next daily email; and we use both Google and Bing translators.  Although we sometimes get frustrated, our language difficulty hasn't proven to be a problem.
 4) Have we had a child together. (No)
 
 She passed.
 
 Note: We heavily front-loaded both the I-130 and DS-230 packages with evidence.  And any potential "red flags" were addressed in "Personal Statements" in each of the two packages.  So I'm pretty sure my wife was 99% approved before she ever got to the interview window.
