I know this is easier said than done but there is nothing to be nervous about at the interview itself. It really is the easiest part of the whole process.
I arrived to the consulate 30 minutes before my scheduled interview time. The security guards weren't mean at all and all I had to show them was my Packet 4 letter confirming the date and time of my appointment. Security took about 15 minutes because there was a line.
By the time I got to the 19th floor, I waited about an hour to be called to Window 1. The lady at this window was very sweet and asked for my:
- passport
- ticket number
- 2 passport photos
- packet 4 letter
- sealed medical examination envelope
- birth certificate (original, she didn't need a photocopy)
- marriage certificate (original, she didn't need a photocopy)
- police certificates (original, she didn't need a photocopy)
- sponsor's affidavit of support (original, she didn't need a photocopy)
- joint sponsor's affidavit of support (original, she didn't need a photocopy)
- I also gave her a "backup" joint sponsor since my original one is self-employed and thus, her income varies. She said it was up to the CO if he needs it or not but she'll add it to my folder anyway.
Make sure you have the originals of the Affidavit of Support and the sponsor's most recent tax year transcripts or copies of their records.
She then took my fingerprints and gave me the domestic violence pamphlet and told me to wait until the CO calls my number. It was less than 2 minutes that I was called to the second window.
The CO was stern but polite. He asked me to read the oath and took my fingerprints. He spent the most time looking through the affidavit of support. I wasn't asked for any proof of relationship though I had a whole fat envelope full of letters, emails, and call logs. He asked me who my joint sponsors were and where my husband lives and what he does, as well as proof of domicile. He then asked how we met, if it was a first marriage for both of us, and if I had any children. This took about 10 minutes. He gave me back my original birth certificate and marriage certificate and said I'm approving your visa and handed me the welcome letter.
All in all, just waiting to get to this part of the process is the most stressful. As long as you have all your documents in order and you're in a bona fide relationship, the interview will be easy and quick.

Me, my husband, and his friends crossed at the Peace Bridge on a Sunday afternoon. It was not too crowded. The officer at the border was very sweet and joked with us. He kept our passports. He thanked me for going the legal route to immigrate and waved us over to the center for processing. There, we only had to wait 10 minutes for my name to be called. Then, the officer there asked for my sealed envelope and fingerprints. He told me to sit back down as he went through everything. Another 15-20 minutes later he called me and my husband back to the window. There, he stamped my passport and explained it worked as a temporary green card for a year. He then had us sign a paper explaining that within 90 days of the 2-year anniversary of the green card, I have to file for removal of conditions. |

*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.
