| Embassy Review : |
Hi there VJ family.
Before my visa interview i searched this site for any info on my visa type,( i know most folks here are of the CR1/ K1 visa type) so you can imagine the frustration. I hope this review comes in handy 4 future IR2 visa applicants.
So got to the embassy at around 6;30a.m an hour before my appointment, there was a sizeable number of people already, we were told to stand opposite the embassy wall till 7;15a.m when we were called to queue; Non-immigrant visa applicants queue on the right side of the embassy gate while Immigrant Visa applicants queue on the left side of the gate. ( The IV queue is much shorter)
After a while a guy comes asks 4 the aramex paper, and cross-checks your appointment on a list that he has, Then you proceed to security, after that u get inside and get a number begining from 600 4 immigrant visa applicants.
After ur number appears on window 5 or 6, you present ur documents and medical result to an egyptian lady, ( She did't ask me 4 any documents even though i hide piles of them) She took two photos and asked if i had a copy of my dad's Passport which i replied negative, and she said no problem. I went to sit down and wait 4 the interview.
After almost half an hour i was called by name to window #14, My interview was done by a soft-spoken nice middle-aged Caucasian guy, It was really simple, he asked 3 questions;
1. How old are you? (told him)
2. How many siblings do you have? ( answered)
3. How did your father go to the states? ( answered)
After that he wrote a bit and told me Congrats we're done here, your visa is approved, your visa will be sent to the Aramex address u chose in 1-2 week time. So long.
It was a good feeling 4 sure.
I wish y'all the best, Just stay calm and keep a positive mind.

*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.
