Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My interview was set at 8:30am on March 15th, 2024 (Friday).
I went in the Embassy around 8:10 and went through security. There are three different checkpoints before you can enter the interview area within the building. The security were helpful and kind.
Was told to go to window 5 first that said ''cashier'' to check in and receive my number. After that I sat and waited for about 15 mins for my number to be called.
There the person requested documents I had submitted but nothing related to my husband (no I864/tax returnspayslips/proof of domicile).
Documents they asked for: DS-260 confirmation page, birth certificate, marriage certificiate, photo, passport and police certificates. (ALL ORIGINALS).
I was asked to wait once again to be called for my interview and that took almost an hour. There were only 3 people in front of me and it seemed like only one window was available for immigrant visas while the other windows were reserved for the Americans who were there waiting.
Once my number was called, I met with the lady who did my interview. She asked me basic questions:
1) How did you meet your husband?
2) When did you meet your husband?
3) How long have you been together?
4) What does he do for a living?
5) What is your job?
6) What degree do you have?
All in all it took about 7-8 mins and I was approved. She was kind and cracked a few jokes with me. She said my passport status will be updated when it is ready to be shipped.
My NVC status after my interview was placed under ''Administrative Processing'' even though I had no notice or request to send additional info/documents and one business day after it was showing as ''Issued'' and I received two emails:
1) About my visa being printed on my passport and it being being ready plus having it handed to the mailing service
2) The tracking number
I am not sure if this is standard timeframe from approval to passport being issued.
