| Embassy Review : |
I was at the embassy at 8 am, and lined up by the sign that says to line up there if you're a US citizen or you have an immigrant visa interview scheduled. After about 10-15 minutes of waiting I was called up to security, where I had to show them my passport and DS-160 confirmation page, plus take off my jacket and show them the bottoms of my shoes. Then inside, through the metal detector, where they gave me a receipt for my cell phone and keys, that I wasn't allowed to bring in with me.
Inside, the security officer didn't know if the K1 was an immigrant or non-immigrant visa - I told him immigrant, and was sent to window G. There I gave them my passport at first. I was then called back to window G a little later, to give them the rest of my paperwork (passport photos, I-134, proof, birth certificate, police certificate, divorce decree with translation). He also asked me a few questions about how/when we met, and had me write my name and address on an envelope.
After another short wait I was called up to window D for my actual interview. After swearing me in and taking my fingerprints, she asked me questions about how/when we met, how many times we'd met, why was I moving to the US and not him to Norway, wedding plans. Then she told me my visa was approved and that I would receive my visa in the mail in about 14 days.
All in all a very good experience. Everyone were really friendly, and the whole process was very quick - I was done by about 8:45, since they let me in early (my appointment was originally at 8:30). |

*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.
