She showed up at 8:00am and attendant let her in. She went through security and xray. She went to a window and got a token number. She showed her the interview letter. Next she waited 20 minutes for her number to show up. Then she went to the window and was asked : Appointment letter Ds-260 Passport 2 passport size photos Copy of birth certificate copy of marriage certificate medical report AOS form 1. Who is calling you? 2. What is his full name? 3. What is your full name? 4. What is your fathers full name? 5. Tell me your mothers maternal last name? 6. Have you ever been to the US? 7.

Occupation? 11.Where do you currently live? 12.What language would you like your interview to be in. 13.She was handed the Domestic Violence paper and was told that she will have to give a brief summary of it to the officer She had to wait for an hour or so and went to the window. There was an american lady(immigration officer). She was asked to raise her hand and asked to read aloud that whatever she submitted is all truthful etc(oath). Then she took her fingerprints. 1. Who is petitioning you? 2. When did you guys first meet? 3. How did you guys meet? 4. Who introduced you? 5. When did you get married? 6. Has your husband visited India since you got married? When and for how long? 7. What does your husband do? 8. She was asked to show her wedding photographs. 9.She asked to see a traditional picture with 'phera' and the 'bindi' one..which she assumed was the sindoor one and also showed me putting on the mangal sutra 10.Did you read the domestic violence paper? Can you give me a brief idea. 11.Then she said everything looks fine in your case..and you are approved! Overall once she got to the window, it was max 10 minutes and she was done. I was surprised that they didn't ask for up-to-date tax returns, pay stubs..nothing like that. Seemed like a pretty straight forward interview. My wifes only complaint was how much time she had to wait to see the immigration officer. Let me know if you have guys have any questions. Rating : Good

*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.
