| Embassy Review : |
So it wasn't me who went to the Consulate, but my husband said everything was fine. He'd been there several times before for H2B visas, so he wasn't nearly as wound up about the interview process as I was.
It sounds like his interview was the same as everyone else's that has reviewed the Consulate. He said that "B" (our case worker/person) was very lovely and nice, etc.
It doesn't sound as though the CO asked very many questions. Where I was born and where we met, basically. And the CO went through every single piece of paper that was in our file and then essentially said "thanks your visa will be on its way."
I emailed "B" at the Consulate to thank her for her time with us and she said the visa/husband's passport was leaving with a courier today (the interview was yesterday)!

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
