Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Joseph's interview was scheduled on 11/01/2012 @ 7:30am, he arrived to the US Embassy at 6:13am. He got in a single line until security came out and seperated Non-Immigration from Immigration. When he arrived he was the 20th person there. When they seperated the line he was the 3rd person inline for Immigration. At 7:07am they asked them to prepare there Interview Letter to be shown at the door for entry. He entered the Embassy at 7:10am. He told me that he went through to security and they checked him for anything forbidden. He turned in his cell phone because electronic devices are not allowed. After passing through security he was told to make 2 lefts around the building. He was given a number (603). He was called with-in 25 minutes of waiting. The Egyptain lady asked him to speak in Arabic and she asked him for his Passport, Passport Photo's, Medical Exam, and Interview Letter. She them reviewed them and asked him: "How did we meet each other"? She never offered to give him the original documents back. She them told him to go to the Cahier (Clerk) to pay the DHL fee (75LE). Once he paid the fee, he sat down again and waited to see the counsler (CO). Another 30 to 35 minutes later his number was called to Window Number (14). The Interviewer was a man in his mid 30's. He did not give Joseph any eye contact at all and just looked at his PC the entire time. He asked him a few questions: "How did we meet"? "What do I do for a living"? "If we have ever been married before"? "If he has ever been to the USA before"? Then he asked him for pictures from our wedding/ceremony/studio/reception. Which he viewed for a total of 30 seconds. He then asked to take copies of his fingerprints and asked him to sign the form DS-230 (Part 2). He also never offered to give him our originals back. After that he told him that he has been Approved with no AP, and he will receive his visa in 10 days. After that he took the approval letter, said thank-you and left.
Overall, he said it went well and they were nice to him
