| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview yesterday at the London Embassy, appointment time of 8am. My experience was very similar to most of the people on here but putting it all down just in case it helps to calm those who are yet to go through it!
We arrived at about 7.15 (we'd stayed nearby in a hotel I booked using Hotwire, worried that if I tried to get there from home on the train that I'd run into weather issues or something). By that time there was a queue of about 25 people so we joined the back of it. About 10 minutes later they split us into three queues, one for non-immigrant visas with appointment time of 8am, one for all immigrant visas (we were in the first 10 of this queue) and another for non-immigrant visas with later appointment times.
At 7.30am, they started checking appointment letters and passports and moving us into another queue to go through security to start admitting people. I had a friend with me (moral support) and was told that she couldn't come in with me so she went to a Starbucks just down the road, with most of my bags which was a help!
Once through security (which is the usual, bags through a scanner and walk through another), I went into the building and was assigned the 7th number in my category.
I got into the waiting room at about 7.45am, none of the screens were on at this point and the "cafe" wasn't open. At 8am, the booth shutters started opening and they turned the screens on and started calling numbers to booths. As others have said, I spent the whole time playing on my phone and looking up every time there was the "bing" that announces the next number being called. At this point they were calling the numbers in my group in sequence so I wasn't too surprised when mine was called.
At 8.20am I was called to present documents, at the booth was a man who was really friendly and he had a woman assisting him to collect things for him. They requested the following:
- they took my finger prints for both hands and thumbs (the man commented on how cold my fingers were, the room was not warm but I expect the adrenalin wasn't helping!)
- letter which had my number for the day stuck on it
- passport
- 1 x passport photo
- birth certificate
- I34 + letter from my fiance's employee + his 2014 tax return (I had the tax return with me but I didn't expect them to request this so very relieved I'd brought more documentation than less)
He then thanked me, asked me to return to the waiting room to wait for my interview to be called. When I got there my number was still on the board which momentarily threw me. This all took less than 10 minutes.
At 9.30am I was called for my interview. Again there was a main man who I spoke to and another there to assist. This man was very polite but very official also so less warm than the first one
- he started by asking for my fingerprints from my right hand
- he asked me to raise my right hand and take the oath to say that all the information was truthful
Then he asked me the following questions. Unlike others I really felt like he was focussing on my answers.
- when did we meet
- how did we maintain the relationship since then
- will I be able to continue my current job or will I have to leave it; to this I answered that I have to leave it but that's OK because I don't like it which he smiled at
- have I met his family
- what are his parents names and brother's names
- what does his father do for a living (this one threw me, I do know the answer but it's not something we talk about a lot so was surprised)
- when do we plan to marry
Then he said congratulations and welcome to the United States. Again this all took less than 10 minutes. And I left the building as fast as possible and tried not to cry as I rang my fiance (who was not upset about being woken up!). |

I arrived at Newark yesterday, flight landed at 6pm. By the time we'd taxied to the terminal and I'd retrieved my wedding dress from the wardrobe at the back of the plane, it was about 6.20pm before I got into the terminal building.
Immigration was the quietest I'd ever seen it; I got straight into a queue with three people in front of me. Amusingly, two of these people were referred to the second room (which I could see right in front of me) so took a little time to get to the window but nothing really.
When I got to the immigration officer, he was friendly and polite but I guess they weren't too stressed with it being quiet. He asked me questions about how I met my fiance, what we both do for work, when we're getting married etc, nothing difficult. Then he took my paperwork and took me through to the second room. Envelope still sealed at this point.
There were a handful of other people in there, most sat quietly but one British guy came in making comments and trying to engage other people. Literally everyone ignored him. He then took his phone out and got told swiftly that he couldn't use it. He started saying that he just wanted to text his girlfriend. No means no!
I could see that one of the officers had opened my envelope and gone through to another room, I guess to process it. He came back about 10 minutes later, called me up, asked me when we planned to get married (made a joke about it not being me and him getting married). Then he made a point of making sure I knew we had to get married within 90 days and sent me on my way.
My fiance got delayed on the way to the airport so I actually beat him through to arrivals, just after 7pm. Easy peasy. |

*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.
