Husband went to the "Residents/Citizens" line and got bumped to the "Tourist" then they moved in back to that line. Fingerprints, and photo then they took him to another room, they asked him for the package and he was out of there in 10 minutes.
He said people were nice. He went through customs in 30 minutes. i was late to pick him up one hour! :) Didnt even think that it was going to be so quick... #blessed! |

| Embassy Review : |
Well it's very hard to give a review since i wasnt the one i was there. Based on what my husband told me, i am going to try.
My husband went alone to his interview. same deal line 3/green sticker/security
first lady was the colombian - Ask for test results, passports and police record
waited approximately 1.5 hours before being called.
Once called..same drill - my name/his name/how w met/where we got married (this was a tricky question.. they used the different country to get him confused - but my husband is so confident!)Have you ever applied for a visa? sign ds-230/fingerprints/approval/welcome to America and then the consul gave him the DHL instructions.
His interview was approximately 10 minutes. He said everyone was very nice and he was not asked to give any documents other than the police record.
They actually gave him back some of the originals we sent to NVC.
Happy and are feeling oh so Blessed!
Any questions happy to help!

*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.
