| Embassy Review : |
NVC had sent me IL for 16th July. I was eagerly waiting for the day. On July 1st, I had my medical test. My interview time was fixed at 1 p.m. of 16th July. I reached there before 10 minutes and completed all the security checks. I got my token and waited in a hall for my turn to come. At first, i was called to a counter for capturing finger prints. Again, I kept waiting for the next call. After around half an hour, they called me for general enquiry. The enquiry officer asked me the following questions:
1. How long have you been married?
- I told him the exact date of my wedding. But the officer asked me to tell him the period that have elapsed since the wedding day. I replied him accurately.
2. Have you stayed in any other country for more than six months?
- I had been to Dubai (UAE) and had stayed there for 2 years and 3 months. Then, he asked me to produce the Police Report issued by UAE. But, I didn't have one.
- The officer also told me to produce the most recent Tax Return Certificate of my Spouse (sponsor). I didn't have this one too at the interview.
3. Have you got any photos of your wedding ceremony?
- I handed him a photo album of my wedding.
At last, He told me that these two documents- a police report issued by UAE and the tax clearance certificate of my spouse, are very essential documents and that I must submit later. He asked for my original passport plus two 2X2 photos. He also kept my documents including photo album for reviewing and then he told me to wait for some time until they would call me again.
After having waited for around 45 minutes, an officer announced my name from a counter. The officer showed me the forms and documents and asked me whether those documents related to me. Then, She asked me the some questions.
1. How did your spouse entered USA and when?
- I replied that she was taken to USA by her father through Immigration Visa.
2. Is you spouse Citizen or LPR?
- LPR
3. With a doubtful expression, she repeated the question- Is your spouse LPR for sure?
- I smiled in a confidence and replied 'yes'.
She verified my documents once again and browsed my photo album. In that album, I also had kept my Credit Card of Bank of America that my spouse had sent for me. She showed me the card and asked me whether it was mine. We are using the same bank account jointly and I am using a supplementary card. I use this card to withdraw amounts as per my need. I told her this. I also told her I had remittance record and chat log of Skype and Facebook. But, She didn't asked for these records.
Then, She returned to me all the original documents I had submitted to the NVC except Passport and 2X2 photos. She handed over to me 221G paper and made it clear to me that I should submit the tax return evidence. The 221G paper also indicated the same requirement. She told me, they would call me again after the submission of above evidence. She mentioned nothing regarding the submission of UAE Police Report.
The next day I went to the embassy and submitted the tax return evidence. Although, 221G paper didn't mentioned the need to submit the UAE Police Report, She asked whether I have brought police report too. I replied that I hadn't. She told me to wait until would confirm whether it was needed or not. After a couple of minutes, She said that it was not needed.
I returned home. Today is the fifth day. I have been waiting for their response.

*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.
