I was once told that it can take anywhere from a month to three months max. But I think it all depends on how busy your embassy is.

@KaurN , @PP_2016 and all couples who recently got approved:

 

Did the embassy ask for a copy of your i864 (affidavit of support) forms? And if they did, did the copies had any signatures?

My i864 copy doesn't have any signatures and the person who helped us with the files mentioned there's no need for the signature on the i864 copy as the ones we sent to NVC had the signatures and they were cleared by NVC so no issues. They say embassy won't even ask for the copies of i864, its jsut for personal record. Is this correct?

 

My interview is on the 25th july

 

@vintash @Adorable @Ahmed & Amy @justwaiting17  please answer this as we're worried we might be facing delays if anything is incomplete. 

I had my interview on Tuesday and they asked me for nothing. I printed a copy of the I864 form and signed it just in case but at the end they just asked me a few questions. I'll be posting my review as soon as I get back to Florida.

My husband picked up his passport today. Interview was on Tuesday so that was super fast. Not sure if being expedite made a difference and/or choosing pickup instead of courier as the passport option. Happy that we will soon be together.

Hello everyone ! I want to say thank you to everyone that wrote their reviews and gave all the information they could, it was very useful! 

We had our interview on Thursday July 13th in Montreal. I live in Toronto and my husband lives in NY. We met in Toronto and drove over to Montreal the night before. Prior to leaving I checked the weather (because Canada is different everyday ) and it called for rain on Thursday. I wanted to be prepared in case we had to wait outside the embassy. I packed a umbrella and made sure my documents were in a plastic closed folder. 

Our appointment was scheduled for 9 am. I want to arrive and be by the embassy by8-15 am. We stayed at the chrome hotel about 9 min walk away. Our hotel had parking and checkout was 12pm so we left the car there. We left the hotel around 730 am to get to the area around 745 am. However, due to the rain we took a cab which misunderstood and took us to embassy suites the hotel (smh). That put us another 10 mins away so we called an uber to go to the us embassy and we got there around 8:05 am. I saw people going in so I want to see if they were going to let me in but the lady said to come back at 8:30. We then went to the famous Starbucks across the street and ordered something to eat. At 8:25 we walked back to the doors and they were ready for us. She asked for my welcome letter and passport. You're then directed to the doors for security screening. I went in with no jewelry other than my wedding ring and nothing In my pockets. It was simple for me. My husband had his phone, lighter, cigarettes, wallet etc and they kept everything except the wallet. They gave us a ticket to collect it after we're done. You take the stairs down to the elevator and the elevator up to the 19th floor. The photo booth they have for the passport pictures is a old school birth that you put change and it spits out a strip of photos. I wouldn't rely on that for your photos. 

We get upstairs and it's and open space with seat for about 50 I think. To the left is a cashier area( I guess to pay certain fees, but I didn't have to go there ) 

We waited to be called about 40 mins after 9 am. I was called to window 1. The lady was very nice. She asked one by one all my original documents. As I was standing there I noticed she has my full package from the nvc there with her. She then asked me the address I'll be staying at in the US and passport photos then told me to have a seat I'll be called again. 

I waited about 10 mins and I was called up to window 8. Greeted by a really nice woman. She commented how prepared I was and said it won't be hard. She asked me when did we meet, when did we get engaged, where our wedding was and what he does for a living. It all lasted a total of 5 mins and she said the glorious words 'you're approved'. She said to expect my passport with 5 days at my registered courier service. She said she didn't need the print out of it that I had but I recommend you bring it all just to be safe. She said the last form of contact from them will be an email regarding the passport and when it will be ready

The whole interview process was the easiest part of all this. Like everyone here keeps saying, be overly prepared and you'll be fine. I also think you wouldn't be there unless you are going to be approved (at least for Canadians) it all just seemed like a formality. We got notified that the passport was at the post office Friday and would be ready for pick up Monday. That puts it 2 days after the interview approval. 

I hope I didn't miss anything and feel free to ask me anything you like to know !

Good luck and don't be worried!

Congratulations on another Vietnam alumni.

Thanks! Dealing with the US Consulate in Saigon is only slightly less opaque and frustrating than dealing with Vietnamese bureaucracy! ;-)
