ARRIVED AT THE EMBASSY AT 5:30 AM, MAY 14TH FOR THE INTERVIEW.HAD TO WAIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE THE GUARDS WOULD LET US IN. SOMEWHERE AROUND 6:15AM WE WERE ALLOWED IN. WENT THROUGH SECURITY, ON TO IMMIGRANT VISA SECTION.AFTER A LITTLE WHILE MY WIFE WAS ALLOWED TO TURN IN THE DS FORMS AND GET THE NUMBER.THAT NUMBER WAS OUR NUMBER FOR THE REST OF OUR STAY THERE AT THE EMBASSY. MAYBE 9:45AM WE WERE CALLED FOR THE PRE-SCREEN, NOT TO GOOD FOR A 7:30AM APPOINTMENT. THE PRE-SCREENER WAS A NICE GUY. WANTED TO KNOW HOW WE MET AND ASKED FOR THE I-134 SUPPORT FORMS AND FEW E-MAILS AND SOME WEDDING PICTURES AND PICTURE OF OUR FIRST MEETING. HE ALSO ASKED FOR SOME LETTERS, WE GAVE HIM WHAT HE ASKED FOR. HE WAS BUSY READING THEM AFTER WE LEFT THE WINDOW.
AFTER MAYBE 30 MINUTES WE WERE CALLED TO WINDOW 27 FOR THE ACTUAL INTERVIEW. VERY NICE MAN, JUST ASKED HOW WE MET AND WAS LOOKING OVER THE FORMS FOR A WHILE. HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, YET THE FINGERPRINTS HAD TO BE REPEATED 3 TIMES. THE LAST TIME HE WENT TO TAKE THE FINGERPRINTS HIMSELF. AFTER HE SAID APPROVED, WE ASKED FOR A VISA PICK-UP SINCE WE WERE NEEDING TO GO NEXT WEEK FOR MY SON'S WEDDING. HE SAID NO PROBLEM. SO ON FRIDAY WE GOT THE CALL THAT WE COULD PICK UP THE VISA ON MONDAY MAY 19TH. SO TODAY MAY 19 WE WENT BACK TO THE EMBASSY AND GOT THE VISA. ALL IN ALL WAS A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE, MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THE WAITING FOR THE OTHER PAPERWORK FOR SO LONG. GIVE THEM A 5 VERY GOOD
