Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-2 Visa
Hi there VJ family.
Before my visa interview i searched this site for any info on my visa type,( i know most folks here are of the CR1/ K1 visa type) so you can imagine the frustration. I hope this review comes in handy 4 future IR2 visa applicants.
So got to the embassy at around 6;30a.m an hour before my appointment, there was a sizeable number of people already, we were told to stand opposite the embassy wall till 7;15a.m when we were called to queue; Non-immigrant visa applicants queue on the right side of the embassy gate while Immigrant Visa applicants queue on the left side of the gate. ( The IV queue is much shorter)
After a while a guy comes asks 4 the aramex paper, and cross-checks your appointment on a list that he has, Then you proceed to security, after that u get inside and get a number begining from 600 4 immigrant visa applicants.
After ur number appears on window 5 or 6, you present ur documents and medical result to an egyptian lady, ( She did't ask me 4 any documents even though i hide piles of them) She took two photos and asked if i had a copy of my dad's Passport which i replied negative, and she said no problem. I went to sit down and wait 4 the interview.
After almost half an hour i was called by name to window #14, My interview was done by a soft-spoken nice middle-aged Caucasian guy, It was really simple, he asked 3 questions;
1. How old are you? (told him)
2. How many siblings do you have? ( answered)
3. How did your father go to the states? ( answered)
After that he wrote a bit and told me Congrats we're done here, your visa is approved, your visa will be sent to the Aramex address u chose in 1-2 week time. So long.
It was a good feeling 4 sure.
I wish y'all the best, Just stay calm and keep a positive mind.
