Arrived at 8am for 8:30 interview. Went to the guard at the front of the line and advised we were there for Permanent Residence Visa, they sent us to a window (outside). There, we were handed a green folder with a paper attached to the front outlining all the documents that needed to be placed inside. Then we went through security. Then to fingerprinting, then told to go straight inside and be seated and wait for name to be called. We were called to window 5 which is in a small little room with a door, completely apart from all other windows. The lady behind the glass was straight faced but nice, she asked for all the documents one by one that we had in the green folder. Then we were told to be seated back in the waiting room and wait for my husbands name to be called again but to be prepared to wait for a while because all documents needed to be scanned into the system. One of the items on the list was evidence of our marriage, I had about about 2 inches worth of evidence so this was gonna take a while. We waited 2 hours, then he was called back to the same room, I, the spouse (petitioner) was not allowed to enter the room with him that time. He was interviewed for 45 minutes, what seemed like eternity. We already knew the outcome of this interview. We have a I-212 waiver pending at NBC because my husband was expedited directly from airport back in 2017. The CO officer was very serious but very detailed and did apologize that he could not issue the visa at this time until the waiver is approved. He gave us the denial letter stating the requested 212 waiver. Overall, it was a very stressful experience, the embassy is well advanced compared to what I’ve read about other embassy’s. The Medicals were all completed in 1 day and no envelope was given, everything was sent to DOS electronically. The CO also stated the same would be once the visa is issued, no folder will be given. Now to wait for the waiver approval.
