My son had his interview today (3/15). Started the process 2014 - NVC approved and ready for interview since 2020. If it weren't for Covid we would have had our interview already. No worries, all things work for a reason.
His appointment was at 9:30 am. No hassle to get inside the building. Once inside the wait was a bit long.
He was armed with updated tax paper and all the relevant paperwork. He was only asked 3 questions:
Is your mom a citizen? (of course they knew the answer already) - he answered.
What does your mom do for work? (of course they knew the answer - I have a good position with federal) - he answered
Based on my work location, the interviewer said she loved that place but it was very expensive, which triggered the last question:
Have you ever been there? - he answered yes. That was it. She cancelled his visitor visa and told him he would receive a call to pick up his passport in 2-3 weeks. She told him a 6 months visa would be issued but he should leave ASAP.
As a side note to my fellow Jamaicans, based on my son's observation: (out of maybe 15 interviewees at that sitting, my son and another guy got approved - WHY?)
1. Please please be prepared for your interviews, this could be a great opportunity for you to advance in life. At least you will have choices.
2. Don't be prissy before you even get your visa approved - respect interviewers and people around you
3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK - read, read and read more
4. Research on what the steps are before your interview (1 person didn't even do their medical)
5. Check your documents, make sure you have every single paper ready - you never know what they are going to ask for.
6. Tell the truth - they already know the answers
7. Relax and enjoy the day at the Embassy - it's just a change in life not the end of your life.
Good luck everyone!!!!
