Visa interview for K-1 visa - 8am appointment
I arrived at 7:30am, there were about 30-40 people outside. Two lines, one 8am, other 8:30am and after. I got into the embassy by 7:50am, and my number was I905, they started at I901, so I presumed I was the fifth in line!
Questions that were asked:
- So tell me how you met?
- When did you meet in person?
- How did the relationship progress?
- And what does he do for work?
Interview was with a lady, she was friendly. All answered honestly with relatively short answers, I stumbled over my words a little at the start, but I think that's to be expected!
The whole process is relatively straight forward, and like many have said it's just a formality to confirm information/dates they already have. I was nervous but that was mainly due to the waiting! A whole 2hrs of waiting after the document check aspect of the interview. I thought something was wrong as every "I" number around mine had been called (even though there are notices everywhere stating numbers aren't called in order).
All in all the interview lasted a whole minute! And I was on my way, walking right into the torrential rain outside with no umbrella. :-(
In at 7:50am, out at 10:50am. :-)

| Embassy Review : |
I had my AOS interview here today - the office is in the Court House (you can park on the street for $7 for 4hrs, or $9 in a parking lot across the street). The security here were awesome, so friendly and joked around with us.
We checked in with a lady at the front desk who took our appointment letter and asked us to take a seat. We arrived about 30 minutes before and had our interview at our interview time.
The interview was very straightforward. It was a request for additional paperwork proving we were married and a confirmation of my original paperwork, both from my K-1 visa, J-1 in the past and now AOS. It took us a while to go through it and we handed only handed over new documents (joint bank accounts, insurance docs, photos, facebook status updates), all evidence that proved we were married and cohabiting.
The lady did not request anything that was on our appointment letter but make sure to bring copies of EVERYTHING. Have one folder of originals, and one folder of copies. You will need to make sure the interviewer can keep the documents you bring in (photos, cards etc).
We finished up the interview with me (the beneficiary) answering questions regarding my AOS (I-485) form, so confirmation of address, if i'd ever been a prostitute...etc etc haha. And she also wanted to confirm how we met, so she had some notes for the review at a later date (it sounds like somebody else reviews all the information she took).
She gave us a letter stating we should hear within 120 days (hopefully sooner!). And for those in our situation, definitely continue to save documents proving your marriage - you will experience this all over again to remove the conditional greencard.
Best of luck to others! Don't panic, it's a painless process. |

*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.
