Everything was very fast. Was asked several basic questions.. how was my name and the name of my fiance, what was the goal of my arrival to the US, and where I was going to live with my fiance.. Then got my passport stamped and wished good luck))) The officers were very polite and welcoming)) |

The interview went great, lots of jokes and laughter. My husband and I were interviewed separately, first my husband then me. Asked us pretty much the same questions.
It appears I lack 2 vaccinations, thus I will have to do those and then they mail my green card ; -p ... For those who worry that you guys didn't have an actual wedding yet, just got married within 3 months, they take it absolutely normal. We want a beautiful wedding with both our families present, such things take time, my family will have to get visas first for example... so say it as it is.
I had 233 pages of documentation to present as evidence, photos and our Facebook communication for the whole time me and my husband know each other, utility bills and bank statements, insurance documents, other bills such as dentistry etc... nothing of these weren't even tauched during the interview! But anyway it's better to be prepared, the size of the evidence in my hands definitely impressed the uscis officer :-D
So questions that were asked:
What's your name?
When you were born and where?
What's your spouse's date of birth?
When did you meet?
When did you 1st meet in person?
Where did you meet in person and where did you travel?
Asked to tell a little about our trips together.
Where do you and your husband live now? Describe the place.
How many bedrooms are thete in your house?
What's you husband's job?
Do you work now?
How do you spend your time at home when your husband is at work?
Does your husband have siblings? Do you have brothers or sisters?
Are they married? Do they have children?
Where do they live?
What's your citizenship?
Is your family in Ukraine?
So the rest of the questions were asked according to the application just to make sure that any of the data you gave werent changed (adress, phone numbers etc).
After that the pretty young lady told us that she will recommend our case to be approved and congratulated us.
As a whole the impression is great, it was really pleant and fun experience! So good luck to you guys!

| Embassy Review : |
The visa interview was the most pleasant and the fastest part of the whole process! It took about 40 minutes, as well as the interview itself took about 5 minutes! Some general and simple questions were asked: - where did you meet? - when did you meet? - how many times your fiance visited you? - were you and your fiance married before? Some more questions about ex wife of my US fiance and my sister who lives in the US, and that's it! The consulate lady whom interviewed me was a young pleasant woman and it was really pleasant to talk to her! So those of you who worry about the interview and spend sleepless nights - you have nothing to worry about! The interview is just a pure formality! You will know all the answers, coz your relationships are real and genuine! Good luck to you all! |

*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.
