| Embassy Review : |
Our appointment was at 1:00pm on Thursday. I accompanied my fiancée to the interview since I am currently working in Panama. We arrived at the embassy fifteen minutes early, but they wouldn’t let us in right away. They were only letting in one person/group at a time, so we had to wait in the heat, and we were drenched in sweat by the time we got in. There were about 7 or 8 other individuals or pairs of people, there for all types of visas. It appears Thursday is specifically for interviews. So we waited about a half hour until we got called next to last. We were sent to a window to pay the visa fee, and then waited to be called for the interview.
We then got called up to a second window, and this is where we had the interview. The lady was very kind, and the experience was nothing short of pleasant. She started off by giving us back the photos we had sent. And then she asked my fiancée a few questions, like how we met, when we got engaged, whether we currently live together. Then she asked me what my plans were once I got back to the States, and where we were going to live. Since I’m working in Panama my mother is our cosponsor, and we will be staying with her until we get settled.
And that was it! It took maybe three minutes for all this. She typed away at a computer, then smiled and casually said "well the visa is approved"...and we couldn't believe it. She didn't ask for any of the additional documents we had brought with us. It appears they make their decision based on the documentation already submitted with the I-129F & with Packet 3. It was so simple, so quick. My fiancée was kind of surprised and the lady goes "so you can celebrate now" and we were so happy, so relieved. And she said the visa will be ready in 3-5 days and they'll call us, most likely next week.
So we went outside and hugged and sort of shared our shock. It was all over so quickly. The embassy called the very next morning and said that we can pick up the visa on Monday or Wednesday!

*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.
