POE was Fort Lauderdale which was pretty easy for my fiance, Nelson. There was a wait as other international flights had arrived at the same time. But once inside the office, there were almost no questions. Good place to enter the US. |

Interview was in Boston. Went great! We brought our wedding album of pictures and that was really all he needed to see. That and our joint bank accounts. If your marriage is authentic, you shouldn't worry too much. If it is not, they will know. |

| Embassy Review : |
So, my fiance had his interview last Wednesday, August 19th. All in all, it went very well. I accompanied him and the appointment was for 9:00AM. Do not arrive too early. They do not let anyone in prior to 15 minutes before your actual appointment time. There were a lot of people just hanging outside the embassy along the sidewalk. When we entered, we went to one line where we were greeted by an embassy employee. She gave us a small piece of paper which told us the order to place all the documents. The order was:
DS-160 Confirmation Page
Birth Certificate
Divorce Petition
Judicial Certificate
Medical Exam
Form I-134 and backup
Passport
2 Photos
We placed everything in that order, then went through a security gate, similar to the airport security. YOU CAN APPARENTLY BRING CELLPHONES NOW, as many people had cellphones.
Once inside, we were instructed to take a seat up close to windows 3 through 5. And then we were called to a window shortly after that to give all the documents. That took about 5 minutes. Then we waited, and waited, and waited, over 4 hours to be called again.
Interview went very well. Questions were:
Where will you live in the US?
What does your fiance do for a living?
Have you ever been to the US?
What will you do for work?
How many times has your fiance visited?
Where did you meet?
How long ago did you meet?
I think that was about it. It was less than 10 minutes after that very long wait, and of course, we were very happy with the result.

*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.
