Smooth process with NO hiccups. For those wondering, I did NOT include my wife on my 2016 taxes because as of the 2016 filing, she was NOT yet in the U.S. You do NOT have to or CANNOT file your taxes and include a spouse not yet in the United States. That provision is for spouses ALREADY living in the states while filing the immigration process. |

| Embassy Review : |
When I had my interview, I was asked about three or four questions and the young lady just pulled out the approval slip and gave it to me. She didn't have to print it out or anything.
My interview was scheduled for 9:00am and my husband and I got there around 8:45. We sat there until 10:35am and then someone came out and had us take the oath. After which, we had to wait another half hour or so. Finally they called my name and instructed which window I was to go to. Got up to the window, a very polite gentleman asked for all my documents and my husband's 2015 taxes. He asked for my pictures, my recent copy of my birth certificate, an updated police clearance and that was about it. He stapled everything together and I was ten printed then told us to sit back outside until I hear my name called.
After about ten minutes, my name was called again and my husband and I went into the room. A very polite young lady was gonna be conducting our interview and she asked my husband his name, where he worked and then politely told him to leave the room as she wanted to have a conversation with me.
She asked how my husband and I met, if I thought we got married too fast, what field I plan on getting into when I enter the US, and she looked at some wedding pics (she was more interested in the group pics). She asked me about a few people in the pictures and that was it. She said I was approved and handed me my papers. She asked if I wanted to leave when my husband was leaving and I told her it would be nice but I'm not sure if it's possible. She told me to come back for my passport on the 29th (interview was on the 27th). Went back with my husband on the 29th and they only allowed me inside. Went in, waited about half hour and then collected all my passport and the sealed package.
Overall, it was an amazing experience and when the consulate officers spoke, they were both so polite that the nervousness just vanished. I'm leaving next weekend so I'm hoping my port of entry also goes as awesome |

*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.
