Worst experience ever
Fiancé arrived at embassy around 6am. Waited in line until 7:30. She was one of the first people in line. She was called for interview pretty quickly after. She was asked just general questions. What is ur fiancé name? Job? How we met? About our engagement?
Then she was questioned more detailed our about our engagement and relationship. She was questioned like for 3-4 hours straight by close to 7 different consulate employees. They were saying we got married some time between our engagement and the interview date. They had no proof of anything. They were saying my fiancé was lying. She is not.
They gave her a white form asking for copies of my passport to prove that I didn't go to India and get married. They really tired to make her change her mind. This is what we get for doing everything the right way. I was angry hearing some of those things. They even questioned her faith/ religion. They were saying that she should not lie coz she is an Christian. If she lies, she would be denied visa til she is 90yrs old. They said, we are giving you a chance to make amends with your statements. They went on and on like this. she was really heart broken by the end. |

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.
