My appointment was scheduled for 8am, but I arrived at 7am. There was already a huge line, and we all had to queue in the rain with no cover (bring umbrella!), the security men were really nasty didn't allow anyone to take cover near their security buildings from the rain. I had to take out all my documents in the rain, so they got wet (remember, umbrella is good). When we were allowed to go through security, everything is very obvious as to where to go next (don't worry about navigation).
Once I was in the waiting area I waited about half an hour until I had my first part of the interview. She was a hard to understand Asian lady. She took the following:
-Birth Certificate
-Police Certificate
-i-134 support form (We brought tons of evidence because we were using mainly assets, they accepted NOTHING, she only wanted employee letter [we didn't have it, so she took the form by itself] a bit scary, we thought this would be a denial for sure)
-Passport
I was then told to sit back down and wait until I am called again. I had waited for an hour and a half and heard nothing so I went to the desk to receive some assistance. The help desk just told me to go to one of the booths, they assumed I was there for a work visa, so I went to the booth and was told they needed my passport (but they had taken it already!) She directed me back to the first lady to interview me to receive my passport. For K1's they keep your passport the entire time after you first hand it off, so the help desk ended up inducing more panic than actually helping me! The Asian woman responded "it's slow nothing I can do", so I assumed I had to sit and wait more, I wish people would listen to you when you say which visa you're applying for!
After 30 more minutes of waiting, I was finally called, 2 hours of waiting total.
It was a tall American man, very nice.
His questions were:
How did you first meet?
Have you met in person before?
What do you plan to do in the USA after you've been married?
Have you ever been married before or lived anywhere besides the UK?
(He then pulled out photos we included in the original 129F) Who are these people in the picture? (It was me and my fiance's family)
He then accepted me, less than 10 minutes later! They didn't even bring up the fact that I didn't give any evidence for the I134 support form (Please don't take this as you don't need evidence, I consider myself VERY lucky that there were no complications. |

*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.
