It was
Sorry! I guess I should've explained for others but honestly it was like most others I've read here recently.
I too got a change of interview time a month prior. The new schedule was 10:30, I arrived 10:10 went through security right away, and as soon as I got up to the 1st floor they were ready for me. She confirmed my info (I had an address and phone number update so she entered those and then she took my docs:
Passport, Marriage cert, my birth cert, police cert, one photo and my husband's 2022 W2). This was swift but I had to wait 2 hours to be called up to the next window. There was only once officer working (maybe carry a book or something in case because you can't have your phone on you!)
I got called up again at 12:15 pm. She asked:
-who my petioner was
-where we met
-how often we see each other
-about our wedding
-if I've ever been committed of a crime
-where I've been outside of the US in the past 5 years.
-what's the longest I've stayed in the US
Process prob took 3 mins and she said she'll approve later and handed me a sheet for tracking the visa once mailed.
For anyone interested I stayed at a Hilton in midtown- it was nicer than the one in DT and more affordable. I took a train there and my total commute (the hotel is a 10 min walk from the train) was 35 mins. Just offering this up for anyone who may be looking at affordable places outside of DT. Their transit system is good.
When I checked CEAC around 5:30 pm my status had changed to "issued". Believing to have my passport back by Tuesday the latest 🙏🏾.
Is there another forum for the actual moving experince?
