Embassy Review : |
Completed the interview a couple of days ago.
Interview was scheduled at 8:30, arrived a little early at 8:00am, went through security, leaving my phone and the x-ray image CD with the friendly security folk.
Proceeded up the lift, through another security station into the consulate and took a number.
Called up about 5 minutes later to talk to the first girl who was checking all the paper work was in order, handed over the medical and courier packet, waited about 5 minutes before sitting down again to wait for the actual interview.
Called up (again) about 10 minutes later for the interview to talk with a very pleasant lady. She asked where my wife was, I said she was "still at the hotel" the interviewer smiled and replied "she wasn't keen to come along?" which was met with agreement. A few more questions on when we got married, where I'd lived, where we were planning to live, and if we had a joint sponsor (we didn't, and were qualifying on assets alone) before said I was approved and told me the next steps.
Then it was out the door, down the lift to collect my phone and on my way by 8:45am. The whole thing was very pleasant. |

*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.
