Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: F-2A Visa Event Description Review Date : January 16, 2013 Embassy Review : on Friday the 11th of January i was Approved i got to the embassy at 7:05 for my 8 o clock interview my documents were checked by embassy personnel and was directed through the security screening area where you have to remove your belt and place documents in a bin. once security was cleared i then proceeded to a counter where i got my ticket number and a yellow piece of paper to write my passport number, name and address.I went to the interview area and waited for about 45 minutes then my name was called. i was then asked to hand in my medical, police certificate, my passport photos, and the most recent tax return. i was then asked if someone else accompanied me to the interview i said no, i was asked who filed for me and i answered, i was then finger printed and told to sit down and listen for my number or name to be called. another 45 minutes- an hour passed and i heard my name calling, i was so nervous but i took a deep breath and smiled. the consular officer an american lady was smiling and said good morning i smile and said good morning. Some of the questions asked were: Who filed for you where does he work where does he live who does he live with how you met when you got married who filed for him who was present at the wedding ( i showed her pics) how you guys communicated do you have phone records (i showed her) how often do you guys communicate as i answered these questions the CO kept on typing then she looked at me and smile and said do you have your passport with you i said yes at that time i knew i was approved she took my passport and said congrats your visa has been approved. please proceed to DHL i said thank you smiled and walked away. Jesus is great.. i called hubby with he news he was so happy 0 Rating : Very Good

*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
