Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My spouse was in and out in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Most of that was waiting. The interview itself was only 5 minutes. Things we learned:
1) Lots of confusing info on what to bring U.S. state website and embassy websites don't agree. Even the embassy would send emails telling us to bring certain documents and we'd call to clarify, and they'd say we didn't need to bring them. All we actually needed was:
Police Certificate
Her Japanese Passport
2 Pictures
Original Marriage Certificate
Self addressed Letter Pack Plus (don't get the Letter Pack Light version!!!)
Medical report was transmitted electronically from the Dr - so she didn't even need that.
That stated, she took everything (I-130, I-864, all of it). Given the importance, it's just paper and easier to have it in case.
2) It'll take 2 weeks to get your passport back while they apply the visa.
3) Interview questions are pretty normal, casual questions about how you met, shared hobbies and interests.
