| Comments : |
No harassment, but my wife said they were very slow. People were sitting and waiting to be cleared and the officers just kind of ignored them for awhile. They spent a lot of time just chit-chatting with each other before finally helping people who were waiting. The officer also almost forgot to take her finger print. |

| Embassy Review : |
I'm writing this on behalf of my wife's experience.
Her visa interview was scheduled for 8:30 am on Sept. 3, 2013. She got there a little before 8 and there was no line to get in. She got right through security and then was given a clear file to put her required documents in (passport, passport style photos, interview letter, medical report and police cert). They also gave her a number which would be used to call her up.
In Tokyo, all the interviews are done in one room. There are windows along the wall and you wait in the same room to be called up. After giving her documents over at the first window, she sat and waited to be called up for her biometrics. After that she was called up again to do the interview.
The officer was American and spoke English. She said he was very nice and smiled. He never really asked her questions straight out. As she stood at the window he was looking through our file and would just make comments, such as: "I see you recently got married. Congratulations," and "I see you had worked in NJ on an E-2 visa," and "You must have been surprised to meet your husband when you came to work in NJ." That was basically it. He never asked to see any new evidence. He said she should get her passport back with the visa in the mail in about one week.
My wife was very happy with the whole experience. She said everyone was friendly and professional. I hope others have a nice experience there as well! |

*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.
