National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Expecting Interview in June	QUOTE (His_Wifey @ Jun 19 2009, 07:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I just had my interview this week and here is my review. My consulate is Naples, Italy. Since Im not from Italy I travelled there a day before the interview. My first stop was in Rome and then I had to take the Train from Roma Termini to Naples. it took me 1hr 20 minutes to get there and about another 20 mins to get to the hotel. I stayed at areamare.org , its a hostel which is situated only 5 minutes away from the consulate. It is really that close. Its supposed to be bed and breakfast but dont depend much on the bfast that the hostel offers. It's a very clean hostel though and the owner is nice and helpful. You will only need a taxi to go to the Istituto Diagnostico Varelli which is about 10 minutes away by car. I was at the medical test at about 7.15am and I was the first one waiting. since I was first they called me at about 8.30am for blood test and then was told to go downstairs where 2 doctors were waiting with the names of all the applicants. They were checking that the applicants have all the vaccinations needed. I paid €180 there. They were very nice and well mannered. Make sure that you have all the vaccinations. Then we were called to go for Chest X-Ray and then back down to check blood pressure, a chest test and also height and weight. And that was it. they told me that if i dont hear anything till 1.30-2pm everything was fine and I can go to the consulate the day after. At the consulate my interview was at 9am and i was there at around 8.15am. There were already other applicants that I saw at the medical test going in and after security check, where they gave me a number(Security can keep your cellphones) i was told to go up 2 floors and found other applicants waiting in a big room. I was called at the first window at about 10am so that they check papers and make sure that I had everything. A few people that were waiting with me were told to go get a different set of pictures coz the size was not right. Then I was told to pay at the cashier, which is in the same room, and then wait again for the consul to call my name. They asked me who filed the petition for me and asked me few questions about my paperwork. The consul only asked me where Im from, where I met my husband and the magic word that I got Approved!! I was out at around noon! I was told to go to a mailbox where I could collect my passport with the visa in it and also the envelope that has to remain sealed. At the consulate they give you a map to go to this mailbox office at 5pm on that same day which is close to the consulate. €6.00 to be paid at mailbox to pick up passport and envelope. I hope that you have a smooth journey and that this review is helpful to you all. congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am soo happy for u... i hope my hubby's interview is as easy as urs heheh so they didnt ask for any evidence huh wow!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Expecting Interview in June	QUOTE (gixbr @ Jun 4 2009, 06:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey everyone, I'm back I just wanted to say thank you guys for all the support, the interview was easy but the consul is hard to read. Like, I got there at 7:30, the appointment was at 7:45. There were 24 people in front of me and we could get in the consulate real fast, i didnt bring any eletronics so I didnt have to wait all the people to go through the metal detector. I got upstairs and the lady gave us a list of documents we had to havve, and the right order. Later they call us to the little room and receives all the documents, then the person there gets a big big file, where it has all our documents, since the I-130, he gave me back my photos, the ones I sent with the I-130, but then he saw NVC didnt accept my photos, I guess the background wasn't white enough. But then since a lot of people dont take a perfect photo you can leave the consulate, take the photo (in the same block) and come back, what sucks is that if you do that, the consul starts seeing people who have all the right documents, so if my number is 5 but the person number 6 has all the right things he will go in front of me. One good thing is he said Id have to take another pictures anyway cause I looked different (I lost 15 pounds) So I went there, toook the photos and came back. Then I wwaited for my number to be called. By 11:30am the lady said the consul was gonna stop for now and would be back at 1pm and we would have to leave the building and come back later. So I went outside, ate, went to an internet cafe to talked to my husband, who was dying to hear the news, i told him all the story and went back to the consulate. There were only 3 people left to be called, including me, and I was the very last one to be called!!!!! Cmon!!!!!!! It was about 2 pm when my number was called. Like I said, the consul asks some questions and you can see he is trying to "read"you. It's weird, he doesnt laugh and doesnt react really to your answers. Since I've been to the US before he asked me a lot about it, but I never stayed illegal. These were the questions: - Asked for photos - How did you meet your husband? - When did you decide to get married? - So you tried the fiance visa and didnt work? (He thought we had applied for the k1 visa before!! I guess he got confused because it was the K3) - What does your husband for work? - What visa did you have when you went? (Then he asked a few more questions all visa related) Ah btw, the interview was all in english, he asked in the beginning "do you speak english?" since I said yes, he went on in english. So he said "Your visa will be approved, we might do some verification but you will get your passport next week". Like, I really wanted him to say "WELCOME TO AMERICA" hahahahah, is that silly? But I did. Well, I was kind of affraid of that last "verification" thing, but Im "clean" so I think there wont be any problems. So.....POE June 24th!! Cant wait to see my love! He bought the tickets today! God really made me calm all the time, before and during, I'm really blessed! Very good luck to all oof you, how awesome will be when all from this topic have their visa approved?!! congrats!!! thats great news!	GheTToJaTTi	Female	Italy	2009-06-05 23:15:00

I just got a call 10mins ago. I am so happy I don't think I was even this nervous on my wedding day or for that matter, any day.... I'll post the details later. But here is a summary In terms of documents, they asked for my 2007 tax returns (since I did not file tax return for 2008, only extension), wedding invitation (ours were not translated), and bunch of other documents. For interview question, only 3 or 4. Your wife lives in North Carolina? How did you two meet? Do you intend to work in same company in US? (My husband works in IT field in a company and the headquarter of the company is in California) Again, I'll post the details as soon as I get details. Good luck to all and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I can not empahsize how much your support and responses helped me... congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22 days left for my hubby's interview!
