| Comments : |
When arrived at Bush International Airport, my then fiancé went to the citizen side and I went to the Immigration officer and handed my packet where they took me to another office and opened the packet. They asked me a few questions but wasn't really related to my case and then said welcome to Houston, handed me a paper about having to get married within 90 days but it was in Spanish but I don't even speak Spanish haha, maybe because I came from South America. But yeah, my first language is Dutch but I already knew what to do so off we go to get our luggages!! |

Both my interview and ceremony went by really quick.
My interview:
I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment, went through security and waited in the lobby until my number was called which I received at the front desk. I answered the first six questions correctly which are the super easy questions. A few of them were:
- who is the vice president of the United States?
- when do we celebrate Independence Day?
- who vetoes the bill?
After the questions, the immigration officer asked me to read the question, when is Columbus day? And I had to write the answer, October 11th.
Then the officer asked me a bunch of yes/no questions.
I believe the interview lasted around 30 minutes.
——————
Ceremony:
I arrived 10 min before my appointment time, went through security. A lady told me where to go and hand in my green card and any other government issued cards that I received. After that I had to take a seat. Waited around 30 minutes before they started the ceremony. We were in a group of around 15 people.
Another lady talked to us a bid and then she read I believe it was the oath and when she was done we had to say we or I do (I don’t remember exactly)
After that they called us one by one to go and pick up our naturalization certificate and off we go!! |

| Embassy Review : |
Appointment was at 7:30 AM. My fiance and I arrived at 7.00 AM, the line wasn't too long so we were inside within 10 minutes. Seated in the waiting area, until my name was called, went inside where they collected my passport, our birth certificates, my police certificate and his i-134. After that we went back to the seating area. Don't remember exactly after how long but it seem really fast when they called my name again. Went in to another window where we were being interviewed.
Questions that she asked were:
- how did you two meet and when did you meet face to face
- how long have you know each other
- if we have plans for the wedding and when it will be
- are my parents coming to the wedding in the states
- if we were born in the same country
After a few question she told us that my visa was approved!!
YAY!!!
By 8:30 AM we were outside the Embassy. |

*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.
