My allotted interview time was 7:30 AM on June 13, 2017.
You have to form a queue outside the consulate for all immigrant Visa applications. I reached there at about 6:43 AM and they allowed the applicants to form queue at around 6:45. I was between 35-40 in that queue. We were then advised to keep our Interview appointment letter, DS-260 confirmation page and passport handy. They checked the forms and then we're slowly let into consulate compound and advised to wait in the shedded area outside the facility where they take interview.
We were let into the interview area at around 7:10 AM. They Consular assistant then advised us to get all the necessary documents out and handy instead of keeping them in folders. The windows started opening at around 7:15 AM. They first verify Interview appointment letter, DS-260 confirmation page and passport and asked us the preferred language for interview. They then give us the token number.
After receiving token number, we wait for our token to be called. At this stage, they only verify our documents and the packet they received from NVC and check whether anything is missing. They will ask you for any remaining documents and verify the details from your DS-260 application which we submitted. We were then given "Immigrant rights and Domestic Violence" pamphlet and advised to wait until we are called for interview. This stage was done by 7:45 AM.
They started calling for interview at about 7:55 AM. They first started calling people who selected their regional language for interview. I was called for interview at around 8:55 AM.

She kept on typing all through out the questionnaires and after the last question, she typed for a while and at the end she said "This here is approved. Congratulations!". Then she gave me the instructions for how to collect passport and how to pay Immigrant Visa fees. I was out of consulate at 9:15.
Overall very good experience. Very helpful staff and nice environment. No cafeteria inside. Avoid bringing any backpacks as well. They allowed some to carry but it depends on who is on duty at the time. No phones or any electronic items allowed inside. |

My plane arrived at around 10:20 AM. I was in queue for immigration at 10:35 AM. Officer looked at my passport, took my left thumb print and photo and asked me to follow him to the waiting area. I was only the third person in the waiting area. There was only one officer at the counter, so it took around 25-30 mins for my name to be called. They just handed me my passport and said I'm all done. Welcome to the United States.
It took forever to collect my luggage, around 30-40 mins, due to a long queue. I wasn't asked anything regarding immigration. It was a breeze. |

*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.
