No matter how many questions they may ask you at the time for your interview as long as your relationship is genuine then YES that's it...you have nothing to worry about. 😊😊 |

The immigration line was sooo long, and I was dead tired from the 24 hours flight, so I felt really tired in that time. About 75mn later, there was a female immigration officer asked me only 1 simple question:
1. what's our relationship ( me and my F flew together on the way back to the US) and then she took my fingerprint. And Finally that's it " Welcome to the United State". (:

| Embassy Review : |
Visa approved
We dressed up in business casual and got there a couple hours early (5am) and were politely shooed away by the guards. They seemed to allow people to begin queueing up around 6. We wound up 6th in line. We passed inside without issues, they retained my fiancees identity card and my drivers license (attending sponsor) in exchange for visitor badges. I noticed that several attendees weren't allowed to bring their document containers in - our accordion folder with report folders inside was fine.
We sat down waiting for window 7 to open (labeled cashier, though we had paid our fees in advance via Aceleda bank) and collected our number - it seemed numbers in the 800 series were for immigrant and fiancee visas. The next step was to hand over all our documentation - the report folders we'd put most of our docs into could slide under the glass, but our longer chat history which was in a thin 3-ring binder was too rigid. We had broken our chat into 3 packages - one with just our video call history, one with text chat, and a 3rd with screenshots we started taking each day after the NOA1 came back. They took my last year's tax return out of our docs (I'd brought 5 years because I'd read stories of denials for not having 'enough', though I'm not self employed) and returned all the other years, w2s, and didn't want the pay stubs, bank nor employer letters we'd brought. (I can see how your mileage might vary a lot here depending on your work history. Better to have it and not use it.) The lady who took our docs confirmed my phone number with my fiancée, and I was glad we over-studied. (Does anyone not store numbers in their phone nowadays?)
The next step was fingerprinting. This was straightforward.
Waiting felt like forever, which may have been due to them reviewing the 500 or so pages of chat history and call logs we submitted to cover two days a month for the last ~2 years (I think a couple numbers after ours went before us). The lady before us in line got denied and we felt for her (she was alone).
Finally they called our number. The lady who interviewed us seemed nice enough (didn't come off as biased nor stern). I asked if I could stand with my fiancée and she asked me to take a seat and advised she'd call me over when needed, so I gave my fiancée a hug and went to sit down. I overheard her ask my fiancée about where we met, and when my flight back was (got a one way ticket here, so we could go back together) - the other questions I couldn't make out.
They called me back up and she confirmed my employment and asked how long it was from the time we met to my first visit (about a year), and asked if my parents hadn't met my fiancée yet (answered only via iPad.) She said something to the effect of "well I can't see any reason not to approve" and reached for a blue slip of paper. We hugged each other and thanked her for allowing us to continue our adventure together.

*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.
