| Embassy Review : |
We stayed in Hotel Sofitel which is walkable distance to the Embassy. We reached the earlier day. Interview time was 7:30 AM. and we reached there at 6:30 AM. At about 7:30 AM, one security guard asked all the people having 7:30AM to line up. The other batches start from 8 AM (but they are for visitor /other visa). In 7:30AM batch, all were green-card spousal visa candidates. They asked us to remove any CDs/pen-drives/cameras etc. After going inside, they enquired if any language support (translators) are needed. So, you can pick the translator there even if you didn't opt earlier. They have handed over all the originals submitted to NVC. Anyway, after about 90 minutes, the interviewer came and asked a very few basic questions. 1. What did you like in your partner ? 2. How many kids your husband has ? 3. Is your husband's ex-wife is in constant touch with your husband ? 4. What about your children ? who takes care of them ? It took about 5-10 min. Then the interviewer (lady) confirmed that the visa was approved. We had our return tickets from Mumbai back to our hometown were booked for the next day night, assuming that we will receive my passport by next day. However, about 30% people did not receive the passport on the next day. So, we have to reschedule all the travel again. When enquired at the counter in panic, they always say, we may receive the passports in a week !!! However, you should be ready to stay for at least 2 days after the interview. They no longer mail the passports to home, you can only opt for picking up at nearby Embassy. I picked up the passport on the 3rd day. The Embassy also gave a packet to handover to immigration offers at airport on arrival in US. After I received the passport, I have to pay $165 processing fee before flying to united states. Good luck to you for your interview. |

*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.
