| Embassy Review : |
My interview was on tuesday 10th April at 8am. I arrived at about 7:15am where there were already 2 others waiting. At just before 8 we were asked to show our appointment letter then told we could make our way inside. We had to pass through a little cabin in which we had our bags x-rayed & any electrical items removed (I had to hand over my camera & mobile phone).
I then walked round to the front of the building & walked through the door & saw a man at the desk. He gave me a ticket & told me to wait upstairs until my number was called. I was #1 on the immigrant visa waiting list so the 2 infront of me must have been appyling for non-immigrant visas.
I sat down & waited feeling very nervous & excited. After a few minutes I was called to window 1. I was asked to hand over the various forms one at a time. The lady was very friendly but was speaking incredibly quietly & I could hardly hear a word she was saying & it was making me nervous because I didn't want to irritate her! She took my fingerprints & once she had everything she required she asked me to go & pay the $100 (which was £51.60) & then go back & give her the receipt. So I went & paid & then went back to her window & 2 others were standing there but she asked me for the receipt anyway & also told me to go & sit down & fill in my name & address on a form that she gave me. I was to hand in the form after my interview which was for the courier service to deliver my passport & visa back to me.
So I bought a sandwich from their little shop & sat down & waited. There were no clocks anywhere & because they took my phone I couldn't tell what the time was. But after about an hour I was called to window 15 for my interview. As I walked there my heart was pounding so hard I thought it would pop out of my chest! When I got to the window a very charming American guy asked me how I was which relaxed me instantly. He asked me why I had changed my second name (my brother & I both took my Dad's name when my folks divorced). He seemed very interested in this I think because it was a Muslim name & maybe he thought I was trying to hide something, which obviously isn't the case as we both have first Muslim names. Anyway, he was very fascinated by the long & complicated story I told him which included a brief family history. At the end I laughed nervously & said "we're not weird, I promise!" he then said "well, I think we're all a bit weird but I just have to find out whether or not you're weird in a bad way or not!". Throughout the interview he was constantly typing away. At some point I gave my fingerprints again. The only question he asked about my fiance was what his job was (postman), which I thought was strange coz I was expecting a little more questioning on our relationship than that. But he had a good look at all our photos (I even brought more recent ones & also more phone bills but he didn't ask to see them). He told me to raise my right hand & I had to swear an oath that everything I said was the truth. Then he told me to sign the forms in front of him & he also told me to put my hand down because I was so nervous I forgot it was still in the air! I felt very silly! After about what seemed like 10 minutes he told me that they're going to send my fingerprints to Washington & if they come back ok then my passport will be couriered to me & I just cut him off & blurted out "does this mean I've got it!?" & he said "if your fingerprints are ok, yes" & I just went "yeeees!!!" I was so happy. All the waiting was finally over. I was fighting back the tears & a huge cheesey grin. Then he told me to pay the courier fee & he let me go. I ran into the toilets & burst out crying then tried to calm myself down & went to pay the £13.50 fee with red blood shot eyes! All in all it took about 2 hours. Now I'm just waiting for my visa to be returned  |

*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.
