[Kelly1987 48]

 

My interview was booked for 11am and I arrived at around 10:55am and was asked for my Passport and a print out of my interview confirmation by two security guards at the door to the security building, and swiftly handed both documents over and allowed in.

I was then asked to go through a standard airport style security search and my bag was put on a tray and through a scanner and I was instructed to walk went through a body scanner.

I was given the all clear and procceded out of the secuirty building and walk straight ahead to the main building.

 

As I entered the main building there was a lady at the reception desk who again asked to see the print out of my interview confirmation. She took the print out and stuck a sticker on the top of it and explained that the number on the sticker was my ticket number and instructed me to take the lift to the first floor, turn left and left again and wait in the waiting area for my number to be called.

 

As I took the lift to the first floor, I was immediately greated by two ladies at another reception desk. They checked my confirmation print out again, and instructed me to walk down and take the first left. As I walked down the corridoor to the waiting area, a officer at the interview window / desk asked for my ticket number. I showed it to her, and she said that she had been calling my number. I was surprised, as I was barely in the building for 5 minutes.

 

She asked for my Passport, Birth Certificate, Affidavit of Support, Police Certificate and my Fiance's W2. I handed this over to her and she began making conversation by asking me how my day was and if I was enjoying the weather. She was extreemly polite and tried to ease my nerves. She took my finger prints and asked if I had my medical exam the date of the examination. I said yes, and that my medical was on 24th July. She explained that she was going to check in the back to see if they had recived my results. After a few short minutes, she returned with a large brown envelope, and she proceeded to take our the documents that were inside the and placed them with the rest of the documents I had given to her.

She then gave me the envelope and noted that my chest x-ray was inside and to keep it when I get to the U.S, and then explained that I would have a interview with another officer shortly, and if my visa is approved, they would let me know on the spot. She asked me to take a seat and wait for my number to be called again.

After a 15 minute wait, I was called to another window by a officer to asked me to raise my right hand and take a oath, and asked me scanned my fingers on the reader again. She then proceeded to ask me the following questions :

 

Where did you and your fiance meet?

Where does your fiance live?

When was the first time you met your fiance in person?

Does you fiance live in an apartment or a house?

 

With those 4 questions, the officer informed me that my visa was approved and that I would receive my passport back within the next 1-2 weeks. She handed back my Birth Cirtificate and the Afidavit of Support form. She was very nice and polite and congratulated me, and told me to enjoy the weather in Las Vegas (where my fiancé lives). I could'nt belive that it was all over and I was in and out in a total of 40 MINUTES!!!

I was working myself up prior to the interview, I was soooo nervous. But to be honest, there is nothing to be worried about. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
