| Embassy Review : |
Our interview was on May 8th and my husband left home bright and early at 5.15AM (Not like he slept at all  )
He arrived at the embassy and the last message before he went on queue was at 5.46AM. There was a sea of people there already.
He joined the queue and was inside the rooms by 6.30AM.
He filled the form with personal information, swore the oath and got his number all done by 7.30AM.
Then came the wait.
And wait.
And wait.
They attended to families with children and elderly before moving on to his group.
He was called up around 10.20AM and the interview took less than 5 mins.
CO: So, your wife is calling for you?
DH: Yes
CO: Where/When did you meet?
DH: Twitter/2012
CO: Looked up and asked ''What circumstances?''
DH: Told him.
CO: When did you meet in person?
DH: Told her.
CO: When did you get married?
DH: Told her.
CO: How many times has she been to see you?
DH: Told her.
CO: Do you have any children?
DH: Yes. A daughter
CO: Okay, youre approved.
Then looks up and sees the bag of docs and albums.
CO: Let me see your pictures.
While he was opening the albums, she handed him the white paper for visa pickup and bid him good day. :D
NOTE
***We front loaded pictures from when we met to our daughter's birth. Printed screenshots of our first tweets, other fun tweets and proposal (viral twitter proposal).
***Because my income wasn't enough, we used a joint sponsor.(My father)
----- Get a joint sponsor YOU KNOW.
----- OR Get to KNOW your sponsor. What they do, where they live, their family.
----- Get someone who makes more than twice the required amount. The required amount for their family plus the amount required for yours.
----- If married, ensure the file separately, or if they file with their spouse (in which case, the spouse must submit a I-864A)
The CO didn't ask about our joint sponsor or financials. We were thorough in our documentation and by God, lucky.
We'll pick up our visa soon but i needed to put the review in before i forget.
Be encouraged, it'll work out.

*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.
