this is what happen during my visa interview at the US embassy in Dominican Republic...
4:30-left to consulate arrived a little before 5am
around 6:15-people began going into the embassy
7:20-called to window 21 for documents (they asked for the BP receipt and for another Police Certificate which I am glad we had, along with the medical) lucky number was 350
7:55 called to window 13 fr fingerprints.
Around 8:30 called to window 23 for interview.
A very nice African American Woman swore us in and the questions began. First she bagan speaking to me in spanish but then I got so nervous that I asked if I could speak in english instead.
Gives my husband the second part of the Ds-230 to sign then asks...
"How did you meet and when?"
We met in 2004 when my father sent me to the Dominican Republic for school. We lived across the street from eachother and attended the same school. She then asked me how old I was when we started dating and I told her 15. She was kind of surprised we were still together since we were so young when we started.
than she asked the question I was scared of...
"after you left in 2005 how many times did you visit him?"
I was a minor and my dad refused to renew my passport cause he was scared I wouldnt finish school to stay with him.
"So after you turned 18 when did you come to visit him?"
I came when I was 19 and got married. She replied saying that I was really young.
"how did you keep in contact with him during that time you didnt see him?"
Email, phone, web cam, etc.
"How many times have you visited him and for how long since you got married?"
I replied by telling her for short periods of time I visited him in February of 08, July and November because of work. she said wow its an expense isnt it and I agreed with her and told her it was worth it.
she then asked to see my passport I asked her if she wanted to see my old passport she said yes looked at it and returned it to me.
she then asked my husband...
"Does she like to cook"
We both looked at eachother laughed and he replied no, which caused her to laugh too.
Then she asked him if he had ever traveled to the US he said no and then she asked him if he had any issues witht he law and he said no.
After that it was silence for about 5 minutes while she worked on her computer. She did not ask to see any pics, phone bills nothing!! the only thing she looked at was my passport.
She then gave us the green slip and told us to pay Domex!! it is definetely the best feeling in the World!!
We are out of the consulado before 9 Am and at 9:30 we were already home!
