Hi everyone! Went for my interview today and this is the low down on what happened.

I live in Montreal so I left at 6:20am from my house and was at the Consulate waiting at the door by 6:45am. There was 1 other woman there at that time and then another woman showed up. The first doing a CR-1 and the second doing a K-1 as well. I told the first lady they would not let her in with her phone and bag but she decided to chance it and was told by the guard to take it back to her hotel. That sucks. I spoke to a couple of other peopl in line and none of them had heard of VJ and a lot of them seemed to be unsure that they had everything.

They took my passport and packet 4 letter that has the interview letter on the last page. I found it odd that they wanted the whole packet 4 and not just the last page but I gave it to them. They looked through my papers in my file folder. I then went through the metal detector and was told to go through a door and downstairs to a waiting room where the elevator is to take you up to the 19th floor. The guard only took 6 of us up the first time. After that the elevators were jam packed full of people but mostly going to the opposite side of where I was told to sit.

We were told to sit on the furthest side away from the cashier next to where the vending machines are. They called my name and I went to the window they told me to and the gir behind the window was a young black lady who was SUPER nice. She asked me for all kinds of things like passport pictures, the ds-156 and ds-156k, birth certificate and certified translated copy, the I-134 and all supporting documents, the medical,the expresspost envelope, the police certificate, i reminded her about the ds160 (she forgot) lol, and i'm sure i'm forgetting something else they asked me for. Then she says to me oh no!, the ds-156 has to be filed out by computer and i freaked in my head. Then I calmly said, well it says ON the ds156 that it can be typed or printed...i went with printed. She said no worries...there is a computer outside in the sitting area. Just redo it and press print 2 times and it will print at her printer. I did it and returned to her window and signed the new copy. She fingerprinted me and then said to pay the cashier and come back with the receipt.

I went to the cashier and paid and for the one dollar of the 131$ i had it in 4 quarters. Oh no. They don't take that. So I had to ask the people in the crowd for change. HAHA. Embarassing. Went back to the first lady again and she said all was in order and to wait for my interview.

They called my name and I walked into room 7 where a VERY nice young lady asked me to take the oath and then asked me how my fiance and i met, what we both do for a living, about my old schooling in the states and my time living there. She also my asked my future plans for employment, if I had ever been denied entry or had problems with immigration and when I planned on getting married.

It was probably a little more than 5 minutes and 10 questions and she made me sign the ds-156k and said I was approved. She handed me 2 pieces of paper and said I would get my visa most probably by Friday with my paperwork and passport. I thanked her profusely, walked out of the building, met my mom at the car, told her I was approved and got all excited. Drove home and called my man and we had a great talk on the phone.

All in all, go organized and you'll be fine. The CR-1 couple, they had a lawyer. Little did they know they needed the expresspost envelope and the husband had to leave and buy one at Pharmaprix. The K-1 lady was missing paperwork and had to fill out a lot at the computer in the waiting area. Lots of people were complaining they didn't know they had to have something. I was lucky enough to have pleasant people help me. I was really stressed before the interview until this morning where I suddenly relaxed a little and it really was painless.

Next step is deciding tonight what date we are getting married at the courthouse so our families can coordinate and his parents want to also throw a party of about 60 people so we need to get that straightened out and I'm looking at plane tickets and getting ready to really give my notice tomorrow. Very exciting!




congrats !!!! i got my cr1 visa today also.

This morning i emailed the embassy to inquire about the status of my case as the DNA results were delivered on Friday. Well, they usually respond very quickly but this morning, they did not. Well i just got an email from them that said see attached. Well, the attached was a letter dated today that said that my husband can take this letter and pick up his visa any wednesday at 7:30AM. Yippee.

I just want to say thank you all for your help and support. Thank you so much for listening to me whine and cry. I really appreciate you answering my questions. In return, i will stay and help anyone that i can help with my experience. Thank you all again for your love and support.

My husband finally picked up his visa on Friday. The letter we recieved said appear any wednesday and we took it to mean, pick up the visa. Anyway, when he went last Wednesday, they told him to leave his passport and actually pick up the visa on Friday at 2:00PM which he did. Took him about 20 minutes to do so. He will be here on April 22nd. POE, JFK. kicking.gif

QUOTE (MMW @ Apr 8 2009, 08:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi fellow VJ friends, need some input here on the visa my wife just received. She got her CR-1 visa delivered today and is cleared for travel to the US, but as we checked the data for accuracy it had an annotation on it of 221G**. Now during my wife's medical she was told to take her medical records from her doctor for her thyroid and OB/GYN with her to POE to present them to Immigration Officer there. I am assuming this is possibly to instruct her that she will need additional shots stateside since she was on medication during her medical at St. Luke. She only received MMR and 1 other shot at the medical. Am I interpreting this correctly? I know we will find out at POE but was hoping someone here has had a similar experience.

Oh Yes VISA ON HAND LOL!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif

Hi all VJ friends.. I had my interview today and they approved my CR-1 visa kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif
Thank you for all supports and helps that you have given me trough this rough journey.



Here is my interview experience:


I came to the embassy on 7.50 AM (the appointment was on 8.00 AM). I met a nice lady who already sat there in the room. She would have her CR-1 interview too.. later on, I found out that she is John1759's wife.. We had a conversation and I was happy to meet her so I didn't feel too nervous.


We waited for immigration counter (we thought that it was still closed), after 45 mins waiting we realized that probably we need to stand in front of the counter so some one will come and ask for our docs. After we stand in front of the counter, then an Indonesian lady came to us and asked for some docs (medical, passport). She asked only one question to me:

1. How long have you been married? More or less then 2 years?

After that, she told me to have a seat until they call my name for biometrics.


I set down and had more conversations with John1759's wife until they call her name to had biometrics. After she was done with that, they called my name to have biometrics, and they asked me to have a seat again until they call my name for interview.


The CO called John7159 wife to have her interview in counter #1 (it is a small room). It didn't took a long time for her. When she opened the door, I just knew that she got approved from her smile biggrin.gif


I didn't wait for along time until the CO called my name. The interview it self was in Indonesian language. CO was very nice and polite. He greeted me and asked me to raised my right hand to have my oath. These are his questions:

1. How long did you stayed in the US on your last visit? I said, "one day before 6 months", and he replaied: "WOW, you're exactly know about the US immigration law" biggrin.gif I said, "yes"
2. Where did you meet your husband?
3. When did you meet in person?
4. Was it in Indonesia?
5. Oh, did you live there?
6. You have visited the US 3 times haven't you?

He was busy with his computer for a min.. I was waiting for more questions and all of the sudden he said, "relax, don't be too formal" I just smiled and said "oh, ok" (I was so surprised he said that and really glad to have a very nice CO.. I have to say that I wasn't nervous at all!!). He continued the questions:

7. Have your husband ever visited Indonesia?
8. When?

After that he stamped my passport, and at the same time I knew that he approved my visa. He said, "we will issued your visa, please come back on this date to have your visa", and he even said enjoy your life in Oklahoma biggrin.gif. It was so fast and only took 5 mins at the most. After I thanked him I leave the room and celebrate our approvals with my friend kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif


We leave the embassy at 9.38 AM. It was so smooth and painless.. Thanks GOD. It was a big relieve for me and hubby..


I thank all VJ members again for your great helps, and for those who still waiting for NOA2, Case complete and Interview day, hang in there.. you're time will come soon, just keep the faith. I wish you all a good luck and smooth journey star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif

When my wife and I decided to start the filing procedures we were introduced to several lawyers. We decided that we could do it ourselves after discovering VisaJourney.Com

This website is so tailored for just about any situations re immigration. The experiences shared over this medium are building blocks to create your own home. After reading lots of rewiews etc, I followed instructions that were given and it made things so easy especially at NVC.

At my visa interview, I wasn't asked for any physical documents, photos, email letters, phone bills to show communication. I might be one of the lucky ones tho.

To all the other members and those thinking to join; go ahead it will be worth your time. For all members who have either just Filed or awaiting Interviews, hang in there.... the journey will soon be over and I wish for everyone all the success in the world.
