| Embassy Review : |
My fiance arrived at the Embassy and showed them the appointment letter, then had a seat. They called him up for the documents, then he had a seat. Then they called him up for the payment, then he had a seat (lots of turning stuff in and then sitting and waiting.) He got called back to the interview. The officer was a woman and the questions were pretty extensive. She asked about my jobs - current and previous. She asked a lot of questions about my family; what we did for Thanksgiving, if they had ever been separated or divorced (they had been separated when I was younger, so she asked further questions about that.) She asked why my father hadn't come to Indonesia with my mother to visit me and my fiance (We met while we were both living and working in Indonesia.)
Regarding our relationship she asked if either of us have children or had been previously married, but nothing about how we met or how long we had been together, etc. Very odd. They did show him some of the pictures I had submitted in the I-129f and quizzed him on where they were taken, etc.
The majority of questions she asked were about me and my time in Indonesia. Like, why and when I left, what my house was like there, questions like that. So definitely a different set of questions than I had seen posted here before.
After the questions she congratulated him and told him to come back next week to pick up his passport with the visa! Approved!!! This has been a long stressful process, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
Overall it was a good experience at the Embassy. Long waits and random questions, but she was friendly and courteous. |

My husband and I drove roughly 8 hours to the "local" USCIS office. We went down 2 days early to just have a couple of days of fun before the interview. We arrived to the USCIS building about 10 minutes before the interview time (we wanted to be earlier than that, but it was raining incredibly hard and it slowed us down.)
We went into the interview waiting room and began to wait. One by one people who were there when we entered were called back and then left, then people who arrived after we did began to be called back and leaving. I was starting to get really worried that it was taking so long. My husband, however, was cool as a cucumber and said that was actually a good sign. lol
After almost 2 hours of waiting they called his name. I wasn't allowed to go back with him. Less than 10 minutes later he came back out and signaled for us to go.
He said they only really asked him identification questions (never even asked to see the pile of paperwork they said was required) and then swore him in and told him he would receive his Permanent residency card within 3 weeks!! I was so relieved!! I guess the hubs knew what he was talking about!

*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.
