London, United Kingdom | Review on August 7, 2020: | silversnake125
Rating: | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My appointment was at 12:30 and I arrived at 12:00. For future readers my interview was during the time that the embassy were only doing interviews for expedites, so I was the only one there. Everyone from security, the reception and COs were really friendly. I was called up to the window the first time after waiting for only a few minutes. The CO took my appointment page with the sticker that reception had put on it, my passport, and my original certificates (birth, marriage and police). They confirmed that they had received my medical results which were submitted the day before. He gave me a leaflet on my rights as a spouse in the US. He told me that everything looked good and they had everything from the NVC stage, so I could take a seat and wait to be called up again. I sat down and waited only another 5 minutes. The next CO asked me to hold my right hand up and swear to respond truthfully to all of his questions. He asked me a lot but it didn't seem like it was coming from a place of suspicion but more general chit chat between us. He asked the following:
- How did you meet?
- Where was he stationed when you met?
- Did you get married soon after you started dating?
- Did you get to visit each other a lot when he was stationed in Germany? Whereabouts was he stationed?
- Have you been to El Paso before? Are you ready to move there, and do you like it there?
He then asked if I'd had a chance to read the leaflet I was given by the first CO and that I have to read it, as slowly or as quickly as I like until I feel I understand the contents. He said that everything was good to go and I should receive my visa back within a few weeks. I sat down to read the leaflet and then left. In total I was only there for about 30 minutes and it was completely stress free
