Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Arrived at the embassy ~5 mins before appointment, went through security, and was let into a waiting room (with only carrying the papers needed for interview; everything else must be left at the security).
Got called to booth number 1, where a Finnish speaking officer asked to submit all the originals, one passport-style picture, passport and pre-paid return envelope (along with I-864, tax return of 2019, and husband's passport bio page, which I had copies of). Then, some more waiting, until was asked to go to booth number 3. There an English-speaking officer asked me to take the oath and submit fingerprints. She then started asking:
1. When did we meet?
2. Have I been married before?
3. Has my husband been married before? (He has, and the officer started going through the papers, and asked me to give the divorce documents. I told her I don't have the originals - only copies, to which she replied "oh nevermind, I can see them on my computer".
4. When did we get married?
She said everything seemed fine, and I can expect to have the visa issued and delivered in 1-2 weeks (in case they still needed something, they would email me).
After the interview, visa status remained "Ready", until it changed to "Issued" dy after the interview.
Overall a fast and hassle-free experience - I was in and out within an hour.
