During your Visa interview ......

what questions were you asked?

ive spoken to a few people here and everyone has a different level of questions ...... does it just depend on which Consular officer you get?

 How many questions were you asked and was it easy enough or did they ask intensive questions?

Thank you in advance :D 

Re: During your Visa interview ......

  • I went with my H to his green card interview here in Boston and to his B-2 visitor visa interview in Ethiopia. At both, the main thing they asked was how we met and why we wanted to be together. They also had a huge list of yes or no questions for him that were basically "are you a criminal/communist/terrorist?" We brought tons of documents and were prepared for much tougher questions but it never came up.
  • We did it in the UK and they basically asked nothing except for wanting to know about our financial info.

  • For my K-1 from Canada to the US, I was asked how we met, how long we'd been together, if I was sure I wanted to move to Arkansas (jokingly, mostly), that kind of stuff. It was pretty relaxed and the whole thing took about 5 minutes. It was really anti-climatic, all things considered.
  • DH's in the US was very cut and dry. The laundry list of "are you a communist" "are you a terrorist" that they have to ask and then all they wanted was one of the kid's birth certificates. She did ask why we hadn't applied for the green card earlier but once she heard the reason (his work sponsored his visa and then paid for his green card and the attorney so they wanted him to wait for the visa to run out before moving him to the green card even though he was eligible for it the whole time) she said she was done.
  • It wasn't an "interview". Seriously, it was like being at the post office and sending a parcel overseas. It was in a room with 50 people waiting in the middle with a number and people from the US embassy behind a counter and a glass. They made sure it was really me, made sure they had all the documents and that's it. No questions asked. They just wanted to see the real me, kinda like when you do your driver's license.

  • We were in Vancouver at the time of his initial interview for his Fiance Visa and I didn't go. At our post-marriage interview in the US they asked how we met, where we lived, who came to our wedding etc.

    Good luck.
