JEWELLA
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I had a 9:30 am interview appointment on Tuesday December 17. We (my fiancé, my sister and I) arrived at the embassy 8:00 am but it was too early so we park in the parking lot that said U.S embassy (a pay lot) across the street from the embassy. We waited there until it was 9:00am and then went over to the embassy. There was a short line outside when I got there. The greeter collect the DS156, DS156K, DS157, passport pictures and appointment letter. She then stapled two (2) of the passport pictures to the forms and handed them back to me. My fiancé had to wait outside, then I went through the security checkpoint. They told him that because of past problems they do not let anyone into the courtyard of the embassy. Then after that I went to the actual embassy interviewing building and was issued a number. I waited for my number to be called. A gentleman at the window collected the DS156, DS156K, DS157, No-impediment (letter), police record, medical report, 4 passport photos, my birth certificate, both my fiancé and I divorce decrees, he took my passport but give it back, I handed him a clear plastic folder with the I134 affidavit of support that also includes my fiancé’s Employment letter, paystubs, W2’s, bank statement and retirement info. He pull the folder apart and only took the I134 out. They never asked for the letters intent, nor my fiancé’s birth certificate or any other proof of financial support other than the I134 at any time. While he was requesting the documents from me he was asking questions that the interviewer would ask. He then ask me to make payment at another window the sum of $240 US. I return back to him, he took his copy of receipt and told me to seated and wait for my number to call again. I was the last person there and I was called up at 12:30pm. I was asked the following questions in no particular order.
1. When was my divorce?
2. What is my ex-husband's name?
3. Do you know anything about your fiancé ex-wife?
4. Tell me everything about your fiancé ex-wife
5. Why didn't you get married in Jamaica?
6. Do you have family in the U.S, where are they from, have they talk about filing for you?
7. When is the wedding? Who will attend?
8. When/how and where did you meet your fiancé?
9. Is that your engagement ring, how did you get it?
10. How many times did your fiancé visit, what are the dates of each visits? He ask this multiply times in trick questions, switching up the dates of when we first met and continuous visits
11. Where did you got engage? What date was it?
12. How does my family feel about my relationship/me marrying him?
13. How does your family feels about me moving to the U.S?
14. Do you think the U.S has more opportunities?
15. What are his interests?
16. What kind of house he lives in, who lives with him, what are his pets, what type of dogs are they and what are their ages?
17. Isn’t he older than you, how many years older than you? Is that okay for you? He also commented on his girlfriend being 12 years younger than him
18. Where does he live?
19. What kind of work he does? He ask twice at different times.
20. Have you met his family?
21. Has he told you anything about West Virginia? What is it like? He ask if I know the Jamaica motto and then he quoted it and said out of many one people and then he ask me if I know the motto of WV and if I wanted to know what is was? This is where I picked up that he already approved me (just a gut feeling).
22. Why do I Wanna be with my fiancé?
23. He showed two of the photos my fiancé submitted with the I129F and ask who they were? He then told me that’s not how he does it, he look through the photos and handed them to me and said they no longer need them. But I have better use for them.
24. What I do for work?
25. Does your fiancé has kids, do you have kids?
26. What is your age?
27. Have you ever been to the U.S before or ever live outside of the U.S before?
28. Have I ever been arrested?
29. He ask if my fiancé was outside.
30. He ask if I register for DHL. Then he said I was good to go.
Some of the questions were ask after he had given me the green slip/card. During the first round of questions, when I thought he was finished with me. He told me the reason why he’s asking the questions is because a lot of people who came through the embassy for K1 visa is fraudulent.
At the end of my interview he (CO) complimented on my relationship and told me that my relationship is the most real one he saw came through the embassy.
He said all the paperwork we submit were great and my answers are good, so he didn’t need to speak with my fiancé. He gave me a green slip/card and told me to use it to track my passport and that the visa will be issued within couple of weeks. He also explained why he couldn’t tell me a specific date of visa issuance. After the interview was finish and I went outside the gate hugging my fiancé. The CO was passing by and told my fiancé good luck and smiled at me.
Overall despite the tons of questions. I had a good experience. The interviewer was very friendly and nice. We laugh couple times during the interview. I felt he asked so many questions even after given the green slip is because he couldn’t believe I knew so much about my fiancé.
