| Embassy Review : |
Had my interview Wednesday at 8 am, but got there around 7:30. I stayed at a hotel called Trylon, and it was a 15 min walk/8$ uber ride. There was a line up of about 8 people ahead of us, of which were there for 7:30 interviews, and the security guard only took those for 7:30am a few min before 7:30. Those of us who had 8 am interviews got let in a few mins before 8 am.
I don't need to repeat the process as it is exactly how many users have described and been very detailed about; checking in, security, going upstairs, being called to the first booth, being called to the 2nd booth.
There was less than 14 of us during the 8 am interview slot, and we did not spend too much time inside the consulate, we were out by 9am!
Only 3 people were working the first windows you are called up to to hand in your documents, and 2 people doing the interviews.
I got called to the first window #1 and she asked for:
- Appointment letter
- Passport + photocopy
- Passport pics
- Birth certificate (original and copy)
- Medical
- I-134 + tax return / transcript
- Letter of intent
I was kind of surprised they asked for NOTHING else, after all the packet 4 tells you to gather so much stuff.. and then I spent all this time gathering it, and they did not even ask.
20 mins later, I got called to booth number 7, and she asked:
- How did you meet?
- How did he propose?
- What does he do for work?
- How many times has he crossed to visit you?
- What is one thing you love most about him?
- When do you planned to get married?
and basic q's like - have you ever been denied entry at the border / is this your first marriage / do you have kids.
I think I spoke to her for 6 minutes, and she was super nice, and made some jokes as well. Will say that this was the easiest part of the process by far.

*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.
