POE was through atlanta. It was faster than i expected. They have 2 CBA there that process individuals with immigrant visa packets which is like all the way to the right of the US visitors line. The guy took my packet and my passport and opened it and then he started quizzing me, general questions like i experienced at the interview. the How,where,when we met while putting my I-94 information in the computer. finally stamped my visa and stapled the I94 form in my passport with the date Dec 27 on it. at the end, he gave me a sheet of paper with general information about the K1 and the 3 months to get married and about AOS, AP and EAD. overall, it was a great experience |

| Embassy Review : |
I will just skip to what happen when i got inside. I was instructed to sit in the A section until i see my # or hear my name call. Sat there for a little over an hour then i was called to window 11 to hand in my documents. she took everything expect for my continue evidence of relationship and my passport. She told me to go and sit back to where i was sitting and wait for interview. I sat with a group of about 45 peeps and waited for a little over 2 hours before i was finally called. i was the 5th to last to get through. My CO was a mean looking white american about later 20s or early 30s. I sat and watch everyone that went to her and they either left with a blue slipped and or a not happy face, didnt want to get her but you dont always get what you want in life. She told me @ the beginning of the interview that the laminated BC wont work but she will get to that at the end
Questions asked:
How did you meet your fiancee?
How did the relationship developed from there? i told her and she was smiling right through.
Where does she lives?
What does she do for work?
What do i do for work?
When did i graduated college?
when did she graduated?
Have i ever traveled to any where outside of the usa?
when was the last time i travel to the USA and how long was my longest trip? she then took my passport and looked at the page with the stamps and nod her head to confirm the duration of my visits.
Do i have any family members in the USA?
Then she said she is going to go ahead and cancel my B1/B2 visa and she stamped it with the "cancel without Prejudice" and handed it back to me....immediately i knew i was in the clear and free from questions. She didnt ask for any evidence or anything, no photos nothing....just said that everything was ok expect for BC and they gonna need an original copy to put in package that im gonna take to POE and she is not sure if im going to get it back and they cant take the laminated copy so she took out the blue sheet and explained to me what to do, email requesting an info window appointment which i should get within a week or 2 and sort it out for visa to be issued, i left disappointing but happier than i went cause i know im approved subjected to me turning in the BC. I went back to the consulate on tuesday Sep 18th and got the approval, paid my dhl fee of $1080 and awaiting pick up.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
