US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview Questions and Advice

Very nice information.

I will add one question that was asked of me during my K-1 interview in Montreal. After going through the list of questions about my fiance and our relationship, the interviewer paused, looked at me for a minute and then said "So, what do you want me to do?" I was somewhat taken aback and answered (feeling uncomfortably bold in doing so) "I want you to approve my application and give me my K-1 visa". He kept looking at me, waited a bit more, then asked "Are you sure?", and I replied "Yes, I am". He looked at me a bit longer, then looked down at the paperwork and said 'OK". I really got the impression that he was expecting me to say "No I am not sure" or something ridiculous like that. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish, nor do I think there was anything in my demeanour to suggest anything otherwise than approving the visa, so I am left just believing he was wondering why an older Canadian with a successful life and career in Canada would be willing to give it up and move to the southern US - it was all I could think of.

So, maybe adding some sort of statement that you may be quizzed about what you really want to happen and be prepared to stand your ground rather than become uncertain and confused by the question might also be of use.


Kathryn41,

Thanks for the question. I added it to the list under the heading Trick Question (end of the list of questions).

Thanks CountryBoy,
I'm cutting an pasting it now so I can type in all the answers for my fiance.
I hope he can remember all this stuff!
Sue


You are welcome, it IS alot to remember.

I'm still a few months away from dealing with the embassy in Manila but I'm headed over to spend 2 weeks with my wife in Zambales and I've got a file folder full of everything that has happened so far and will be happening in the near future ( she has no computer or internet access ). Thanks for putting together the Questions and advice list. It will be her study guide !


I actually didn't put the list together .. someone else originally posted it, with many repetitive questions being asked in different ways. I actually just removed the duplicate questions and tried to organize them a bit.

Have a great time with your fiancee.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAdministrative Review

i hardly doubt he was jelous of your wages and assests so stop bragging. alot of people make good money and they are not denied. my husband is a doctor and he didnt get denied so that shoots ur theory.

Wages and assets actually can be a basis for jealousy so don't be too harsh on him.

oh give me a break. how many times does the OP keep having to refer the CO as a black man.
The CO is doing their job. now its the OPs - next step is to find out the matter with the case and address the issues- drop the assumptions.


Well, I'm pretty sure that there won't be too many black CO's in the Manila embassy; actually maybe only this one. That in and of itself may be the easiest way to identify the individual (rather than by name) for other interviewee's at the embassy for past and future reference to similar AR's. Not everything has to be about assumptions based on race.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDelbros Delivery Time - Metro Manila

I called the US Embassy in Manila earlier and they have Mylene's Interview scheduled for Monday, July 9th at 7:30 a.m. ..

She lives in Imus, Cavite which is very near Metro Manila. I am considering flying over the weekend before her interview, and spending the following week with her there. We are wanting to buy airline tickets for the Sunday after her Monday interview to fly back to the US. (I know it is a risk with the different factors, but we want to anyways)

Does anyone know how long it generally takes Delbros to deliver the Visa after the interview to locations near to Manila?

Thanks,
CB


My visa was delivered in Cavite 3 working days after my interview. My town is more than 20 kilometers farther from Manila than Imus.


That is great .. thank you so much .. :)

I was told by the embassy that the new interview appointments letters will be sent out before the end of the month, as soon as you have it you should be able to go to St. Lukes for your medical with that letter in hand. :)
