| Embassy Review : |
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN PLACED IN AP AND GIVEN THE 221G PAPER FOR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS, THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW:
Our appointment was at 9am but we arrived at 730am to beat the town traffic and had to wait until 830am. We were let inside by 840am and went to the counter where a young lady handed me a folder to place all the docs stated on a printed list that was stapled to the front of said folder. She took our passports and interview letters and told us to sit and prepare the folder while we await our names being called.
At 910am, I heard our names over the intercom and we went over to the Immigrant Visa section to Window 1 with a very pleasant lady who smiled often and made jokes with me and my kids. She sorted thru our paperwork, kept what they needed and returned the majority of documents. She corrected the figures on our i864s and said "don't worry about that, I fixed it for you so your household now says the correct thing". She indicated though, that it seemed I would required additional financial evidence since it did not show that my father-in-law was above the poverty line to support me and my kids but the CO would be more informative about that requirement once the interview takes place. She then told us to wait outside until we hear our names again.
At 1015am, I heard my name on the intercom and went to Window 2 where I was met with a very pleasant-faced and smiling CO. He only asked me:
1. How long are you married?
2. How did you meet your husband?
3. When did you get back in touch after school?
4. What's the longest you have ever stayed in the US?
5. Have you ever lived in any other countries besides Trinidad? - I wish! (then he laughed and said "you will now, right!")
That was the end of my interview! Simple, easy-going and my stomach wasn't in knots!
He then typed a bit on his computer, all the while chatting up my kids about their age and making jokes with my daughter who had lost a tooth last nite and my son who was too short to see above the counter lol! He made us feel very comfortable and at ease.
After he was done typing, he handed me 4 pieces of paper stapled together and explained that this was the end of the interview but they still require additional financial info from my father-in-law. He then handed back our passports and said that they can't keep them bcuz of what is required so fulfill that and then resubmit the passports.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
