The interview was quite quick for us since i have kids with me 10 yrs and 3 yrs.

First step is the biometrics, you will be ask your name then do the fingerprint scanning.

Second step is interview and collecting of other documents for me its only updated nbi and cenomar,,

I was asked very basic questions like

My name,

Petitioners name,

Petitiomnrs work, date when he migrated to USA and how he was able to go to the US,

when we got married, last time my husband went home to the philippines,,

just basic questions for step 3.

Step 3 is oattaking. Then the american consul asked me very basic questiona as well,

Who petitioned you

when did we get married

what is my husbands work

Who is the petitioners cosponsor

Then how many children i have and if my children are of the father and if i married before my current marriage,

These were the very basic questions!

my children were only asked their name and birthdates!

Got our visa 8 days after!

This is Gods grace having blessed and be united with my husband! God luck everyone hope you get yours done soon too!

waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you

And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,

If 2 weeks have passed since POE and there's no SS in the mail, you can go to the SSA office and apply. Bring passport, original BC and MC.

Congrats guys! Well for me and my kids weve been here since may 22! We received the ssn id yesterday in the mail, so you just have to wait! My kids got theirs 1 day earlier, mine arrived yesterday and i thought i was suppose to go to local office but not since i applied for it during the visa process so no worries! Good luck to us all who are already in the US! Keep in touch!

Yes by the way it says if you dont receive it in 2-3 weeks you have to reapply and visit the ssn office! God Bless!
