| Embassy Review : |
So this is what I gathered happened yesterday for my husband. He was the first person at the embassy. He was told to wait in a room and essentially waited for what he said was "hours." Although, he was there a total of 4.5 hours.
The first call, they got him to the window and reviewed the packets received from NVC to ensure that all the documentation was there. He handed over my 2012 tax transcripts and new police clearance and casier judiciare, just in case.
Then, they had him go to another room to wait "for a few more hours" after which, they called his name to start the interview.
Immediately, she asked him if he had been in the US before. She asked how long. He responded. Then she asked him if he knew that meant there was a ban. He said yes. She apparently said, ok, now we can start the interview.
After that, she asked how we met, how long we had talked, where we first met in person, etc. She wanted to know how many people were at our wedding, if he had ever met my parents, if I had met his parents, where we had vacationed together, etc. She also wanted to know why if he had been in the US before didn't he just get married to someone and adjust his status and what was so special about me. So he answered. She was pleased with the answer.
She commented about the photo book that my parents had sent to him as a wedding present to his family, that she had never seen one like it and she was surprised by the quality of the pictures. From that point, she let him know we could file a waiver and what to do next.
So overall, he said it was a good experience. |

*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.
