| Embassy Review : |
Our interview was set for 2 pm, we arrived at 1:45 and were told we were too early and couldn't wait there. We took a lap around the block and came back to find there was a line already.
There is a security list at the door and we weren't on it, but when we showed them our interview appointment letter they shrugged and let us in anyway. I think there had been a mistake though because we had a long wait before we got our interview. After 20 minutes we were called to a window to review our file. We handed in updated financial information and our medical records and then were told we would need to wait a bit longer. We sat in the waiting room for almost two hours before we were called by the Consul.
He is a nice guy, he asked easy questions (my wife and I were both there and he asked as many questions to me (US Citizen) as he did to her. Questions included:
. Why are you moving back to the US now?
. What is your job (to me)?
. Why are you moving to the place you're moving to?
Generally it was very laid back - so much so that at the end when he had taken my wife's finger prints and then said, "Okay, we're good to go," she thought that we were going to start the interview - rather than end it. Our visa was ready a week later.
We were very stressed for the interview, but aside from the mix-up with our names not being on the list, there was no problem and it was all just a formality. |

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.
