Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
I had the interview for my spouse visa yesterday, February 18th.
Ovweall it lasted an hour and a half due to the fact that they are not processing non- inmigrant visas at the time. So less than ten people were there waiting for their interviews. Some of them were waiting for passport and citizenship procceses and only three cases for inmigration.
I went with my husband (petitioner and sponsor) They let him in and even participate of all the instances in which they called my name. They called me three times on different windows (no rooms)
On the first one they ask for all the original papers. I found super helpful to had posted it all of the documents that I brought. While other applicants had trouble finding their documents in a pile it was easy and fast for me to recognize mine, and I could tell that s important for them.
The only thing that I struggled with is when the lady asked if I uploaded the last version of my police certificate to CEAC. I hadn´t, so apparently you need to renew the docs in the website, but it was no big of a deal after all. She went all the way through a list of documents, nothing was missing and she didn´t ask for anything crazy. Not even the IRS an tax return s.
She did ask for marriage cert, birth cert, police cert, evidence (photos, mails and rental agreements were provided) yatri appointment confirmation (she wanted it printed in one page and I had two) photos 5x5 (I gave her two different options) and passport. Nor any copy, all the originals. They ll keep them and called me back again for the CO to interview me 30min after.
The interview with the CO was fast and easy, 20min. My husband was there so he was asked most of the questions. She was nice and even smiled a couple of times.
Questions were the regular:
To me
-When and where you met? have you been married bf? have you lived abroad? have you had any trouble with police ? Did you study at UBA? So you plan to continue with your studies in US?
To my husband/ Sponsor
-What do you do for a living? How much do you earn per year? where do you work? are you currently living here? Do you work remotly? where is the company located? Where did you study? Do you have a domicile in US?
To be honest I was really concern about she asking about my previous attemps for non -inmigrant visas that were denied in the past (I had 3 attemps 2018-2019)
She asked me if I ve ever had a visitor visa and I answered that I had apply before but they were denied. She agreed (semeed like she had that information on her screen) and she didn t ask any further questions about it.
Back to our seats and then she called us again
She asked where we were planning to live and she took a couple of minutes to fill some forms. Then she said my visa was granted! and gave us a paper with alien registration numer. They kept my passport and told me I ll receive an email with further information. Also that I have to pay a fee once the passport is returned.
