| Embassy Review : |
I arrived about 7am for an 8am appointment, i was greeted with a long line but i was at the front in no time, as there were two line one for non-immigrant visa and immigrant visa. The security personnel at the front of the embassy check to see if i had an appointment letter, my passport and two passport size photos, all was intact so i entered the embassy and when through security screening, i had to remove my belt and everything in my pockets place them in a container and walk through a metal detectors all was well so i then preceded to the court yard where i put myself back together and sat in the hot morning sun, i was so mad but nonetheless i endure it for about 15min until i was called to go inside, while inside a lady took my appointment letter and gave me two pieces of paper a white piece with a number (A***)and a yellow piece which i should write my passport number on it and keep it. she then told me go have a seat and listen for the number to be called. i sat for about 20 to 30mins or more  then finally my number was called. I went up to a window the lady there ask me who was filing for me, what kind of work i do, have i ever been in the US, did i ever stayed over six months while here in the US, she then ask me for the medical report along with my passport n photos, she then took my finger prints and gave me a pink paper with 8:00 and told me to go have a seat and listen for my name or number (A***).i sat again for about 20min then my name was called when up to the window where i had a male interviewer he told me to raise my right hand and swear that everything in the petition was true, he then ask me to put my index finger on a scanner, and begin the interview:
How did i meet my wife?
how ofter do i see her?
asked if i had a copy of her passport showing her trips?
how many persons was at the wedding? i showed pic's he look at all about 30
then he ask if i had a printout of the DHL confirmation sheet( ist good to have this and plz register b4 the interview) i gave it to him he then said my visa was approved n have a nice day. i was so happy i forgot to ask how long does it take to get my passport back. in all it was a good one. one step closer to be with the love of my life

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.
