I just wanted to share my interview experience here if that can in someway be helpful to others. I’m f2a category with priority date July 10, 2021 and DQ date December 2, 2022. Interview was on July 2, 2024 and I got the approval on spot. Passport received at home on July 4.
You are allowed to go inside the embassy 15 minutes prior to your interview time. No cellphones are allowed inside. You’ll be required to turn it off and put them in the locker. You’ll be directed to a window where they will ask for original police certificate, marriage certificate, birth certificate and passport photos. I was also asked for the copy of green card of my wife (sponsor). After about an hour wait, I was called to another window where the officer conducted the actual interview.
It was a very straightforward interview with basic questions:
Who is your sponsor?
how did your sponsor got the green card?
when did your sponsor enter US?
what’s the job title of your sponsor?
Have you ever had any problem with police?
Have you ever lived anywhere else besides Canada?
where did you go to school in US?
The officer was typing in between each question and towards the end said, “congratulations! Your application is approved”
Before the interview I uploaded updated documents on the ceac portal. The documents included following:
updated police certificate
updated i864 and i864a (joint sponsor)
tax return and tax transcripts for year 2023
w2s and 1099 along with wage transcripts for year 2023
updated proof of domicile for each joint sponsor and sponsor
US birth certificates of my children
I brought updated travel history (i94) as well as some family photos but was never asked for that. I did mention during the interview that more trips were made between the time ds260 was filled till recently.
Good luck to everyone waiting for their interviews!
