The wait for the first immigration screening was about 30 minutes. The officer asked me if I was sure that I wanted to get married and how we met. I was taken to the secondary screening and waited about 40 minutes for my turn. The officer was very nice and asked if I knew what to do. He explained what I need to do if I go back to my homeland before getting married. And that was it--completely painless and no harassment whatsoever. |

| Embassy Review : |
My overall experience was very good because there was no harrassment whatsoever. My interview was very quick. The consular official was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He smiled and made a very pleasant comment on my engagement ring. He asked these question:
1) How long have you been with your fiance?
2) How did you two meet?
3) What is his job?
4) When are you planning on getting married?
5) What ceremony would you like to have?
6) When are you planning on going to US?
7) What are you going to do after you get married?
The interview was held in English. I was asked to swear with my right hand raised and had the fingerprint of my left index finger scanned.
Unfortunately, even though the interview itself was quick, the wait was very long. I entered the embassy at 8 A.M. and left at 11 A.M.
There was a person interviewed before me. His case was put on hold. I was surprised he didn't get denied. His fiancee didn't have any income (recent high school leaver) and he had been convicted of the crime. Instead of denying this case, the consular officer tried to help him out by advising what to do in his situation. He wasn't intimidating at all, but as helpful as possible. |

*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.
