Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My wife's interview was scheduled for 9:30 am on 28 July. She arrived a bit early and handed in her documents at about 9:15... and was finished and outside the Consulate by 10:00! She said the initial interviewer and the Consular Officer asked exactly the same questions (about 10 questions in all, mostly about past travel & visas to the US, how long we'd been married, our kids, etc...) but nothing difficult or challenging. The only 'issue' was that the translator who translated her birth certificate(s) spelled her mother's name differently for two different documents. (In Korea there is not just one 'birth certificate', there are two documents that together serve as a birth certificate.)
She was also told that she would have to wait two weeks for the visa to be stamped in her passport and get it back. She'd asked for this to be done quickly so she can join us here in the US as soon as possible, but was told that 2 weeks was firm... no exceptions. Bummer. Glad to have this process over, though!
