DCF through Tokyo, Japan was nice and easy!
We applied for a CR-1 through DCF in Tokyo, Japan. The interview appointment was for september 11, 2006 at 2 pm. There were few people for appointment for different visas... maybe 15.
We were received by a woman how checked my husband on a list. Then she gave us a number and a plastic file where we arranged documents in the order specified on a checklist.
We sited until our number was called. The first official greeted my husband in japanese (he does not speak english) and took our plastic file. She checked on a list all the docs received ans asked us to sit until called.
Minutes later another official called my husband for finger printing. This one talked in spanish what was great to hear.
Sited again until the last official called us. She said that I might be present in the interview. That was the final interview, and in japanese she asked how we met, if we have childrens, where we are going to live and if we had family in US. I worried a little when she asked us to wait a minute until she checked if she could accept our tax returns from Puerto Rico. I was worried but at the same time confident because I have checked it and knew that immigration accept our local returns in place of the federal ones, which Puerto Rico doesn't fill. She returned shortly and sent us to the cashier for the fees. Once paid we returned to her and after receiving the paiment receipt congratulated my husband for his visa!!!! She put a big smile on our faces!!! We were out in an hour. We were the last to leave the hall.
Doing DCF through Japan was great. We were never asked for more evidence. All the officials (women) were very nice and respectful. In 3 month we got the visa. The passport sure will arrive by mail in 2 days.
