interview was fairly simple with a sweet lady. just asked simple questions on how we met and how long we've been dating, documents for a joint accounts. So, I gave her bank statements, Life insurance and bills. that was all. Then, she said we were approved. |

my appointment was at 12:30pm. I got there by 12 noon i had to wait till its 12:20 as they wont let you in earlier. walked-in got a ticket no. waited till my number was called and submitted my passport and appointment letter.
waited for 2 hours and a half till i was called to a different CO. i believe they interview people by the list they have mine was 2nd from bottom.
it was unexpectedly smooth and easy, here are the questions:-
* where's your fiancee today ? what city and state ?
* how long have you known her ?
* Have you been married before ?
* Have you been to the US? how many times ? any valid visas ?
* Where were you Born ? how old are you ? how old is your fiancee ? i was asked for my Birth certificate.
* whats your father name and your mother's ?
* have you lived in any other countries other than Saudi ? yes gave him all police clearances
* i was asked again if i have been married!
* Is your fiancee working? yes! affidavit support form and how i got it from her with her tax return.
* Has she been married ? yes when was the divorce ? does she has kids ? how many ? how old ? where do they live ?
* when was the last time i was in the US ?
* and asked for photos i gave him about 50 pictures of us
he then asked me to have a seat till i get called again. Waited for about 45mins. I was called to another window. the CO asked me to raise my right hand and swear that the content of the interview is true. and asked when have i met my fiancee and where was that ?
then he said congrats your visa is approved wala.
Good luck to you all. |

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.
