| Review Date : |
October 20, 2014 |
| Embassy Review : |
I arrived 15 minutes prior to the interview and was asked to wait on the side. When it was my turn (I was the first of 3), I was asked in to have my bags checked and I went though a metal detector.
Right afterwards I walked up to a window and my file was already there waiting with a very nice lady. She asked me if I wanted to do it in German or English and I told her I preferred German. She asked for my Passport, the medical results, the form that was attached to my invitation, my birth certificate and my criminal record certificate.
Then she asked me to provide information on whatever form of financial support I chose - I handed her the Form I-134, copies of 2 recent pay stubs, W-2 for 2013, the current bank status (which was like 3 pages) and the letter from the employer. All of this was done within 30 minutes.
I then had to pay the fee (€212 / $265) at another window and was asked to sit down and wait for the consul to interview me.
After 5 minutes of waiting, the consul called my name and went over the form with me, asked me to write down my fiance's name and sign it, then I was interviewed - he asked me how we met, when we met in person, if I had been to America before, if he had visited me here, how long my trips were (I overstayed on one trip for 2 days because my flights were cancelled twice, but he said that overstaying works in my favor in my case because it proves that I wanted to spend as much time with my fiance as possible), what my fiancé works and our ages.
Then he said that everything looked fine and that his colleague, the nice lady from before, would explain to me how my visa will be printed etc.
After waiting for another 5 minutes, she called my name to ask me for my phone number and told me that she will call me within the next couple days so I can pick up my passport with the visa.
All in all, it took about an hour, the interview itself was 15 minutes. |

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.
