Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiancé and I got lucky last week and was able to book 1 of the very few open available dates for k1 visa interviews in Jamaica. We emailed the embassy to make sure it was real and they said they opened a few dates and to book one expeditiously and so we did!
Interview time was 1:30pm Est. Arrived at 1:00 and I entered at 1:15pm. Went through security where I removed belt, watch, money and walked through scanner.
Walked up to the waiting area where chairs are spaces 6 feet apart (Embassy was empty!) so I went straight up to the 2nd security entrance where they took my appointment letter. On to the next door to the consular officers panel where a lady asked me for the beneficiary police record, birth cert., certificate of non impediment, 2 passport photos, then us sponsors w2, last tax returns and affidavit of support (unfortunately we filled out the wrong one-i864. The correct one is i134 which the agent informed me of. I was told to sit down again and waited for another 10 mins and my name was called by the interviewer. Questions were:
Who is petitioning for me? Where did we meet? How many times she’s been here to see me? What was her longest stay? How does she manage to take so much time off from work? What are our plans for the wedding? What is my relationship like with her family and how do they feel about our union, then viceversa.. the interviewer was cordial and it felt like a regular convo with a friend. However because my medical expired 2 weeks ago there was abit of hiccup with that. She informed me that there is a rule where it can be extended for another 30 days but they have to get permission to do so (from sept of state I suppose) she also stated that because my police record expires in dec 2020, it means that I’ll have a shorter time to leave for the states as they usually grant the visa based on the validity of the medical and police record (meaning they have to be valid until I leave for the US). She gave me the temp refusal form and stated that all of our paper work is good to go so we just need to submit the i134 form by email and they will inform me of when and how soon I have to leave Jamaica. The interview itself was around 20 minutes because of that hiccup but an awesome experience nonetheless!!
