Here it´s our experience:
We had our interview in Madrid Spain on November 22nd, everything was great, we were afraid because of the Educational requirement, my wife (winner) had something like Vocational School, like Technical High School here in Spain 5 year and access to University, we were worried about that because we didn´t know any experience about people with the same level, I looked for several month on internet pages and di´n´t find anything.
This was our biggest concern, but we were nervous in general, you never know what can go wrong. We had the interview at 9:00, we showed notification letter (2nd package) at the front door, entered the embassy and got a number. We waited like 20 minutes and at the window a lady asked us for all documents, birth, police certificates, marriage, educational diplomas and affidavities of support, we had I134, bank statements and a letter from my work, we gave her everything, she asked us to pay the fee and wait.
We paid 1500$ and waited for another 30-40 minutes, this was the worst part, we showed in front of us several interviews with visa denials, and started to be worried, we don´t know if was the same kind of cases or what, but sometimes things go wrong. During this time you start thinking that they are reviewing your documents, and you think that something goes wrong, you see bad faces, like they don´t know, it´s a hard time. After this we were called for the interview with the consular officer, he asked us two questions:
- How long have you been in the US?
- What do you plan to do after arrival?
After this he smiled, and ask fingerprints and sign the DS-230 forms, and that´s it. He said in one week you will recieve your passports by mail, we waited 9 days and we got them today with the stamp and the big brown envelop. We will travel to US next week.
Conclusion: be relax, don´t worried everything will go fine, they are good people at least at my Embassy. If you are concern about education, we did a credential evaluation in tyhe US of the diplomas and we presented this evaluation at the interview showing that the diploma was a US High School Equivalent.
Good luck to everybody, best for everybody.
US is great country see you there.
