We had the interview on October 18, 2018. My husband was asked 2 questions (were you ever in the deportation process, if you ever committed a criminal act). The rest were confirmation questions..... He also asked if we had been married before(no), what name should appear on the green card, if my husband is working and confirmed the address the card should be sent to. The IO then said we would be approved when he received the k1 packet (the packet had not made it to the local office). He said it should take about 2 weeks to get the paperwork and an additional 3 to receive the card. |

Biometrics were reused. Passed the test at interview but the IO wanted more evidence we still lived together. Received the RFE on November 9, 2021. Uploaded all evidence on November 9, 2021. Checked USCIS website on 1/28/22 and it said "Oath is being scheduled"
Checked the USCIS website on 1/31/22...."Oath has been scheduled". The Oath was scheduled in the county that we live in at a Courthouse because he is adding a middle name (so it's a "name change") |

| Embassy Review : |
I attended the interview with my fiance. The interview was scheduled for 9:45 on October 25, 2017 and we arrived at the consulate at 9. I had expected to have to wait outside but my fiance explained we were there for the K1 and they allowed me in the consulate. At security they took my phone and drivers license (take two picture IDs) they also took my fiance's phone, car keys and ID.
My fiance was called to the 1st window at about 10:30 and they took his finger prints, my financial information (the DS134, 2016 tax return and tax transcript...they gave the tax returns for 2015 and 2014 back to my fiance and returned my business tax return for 2016). In addition to the financial information they kept the copy of his military card and translation, birth certificate and translation, certificate of non marriage and translation, and police certificate with translation.
We waited another hour and a half for the interview. My fiance was called to the window for the interview. The interview began in English and my fiance requested French but the interview took place in Arabic. The questions were:
What is your fiance's name?
How did you and your fiance meet?
Where did you meet in person? (Germany)
Why did you meet in Germany instead of Algeria?
My fiance mentioned he had also met my sister on the trip...he was asked what he thought of my sister.
What does your fiance do for a living?
What do you do for a living?
What is your and your fiance's religious beliefs?
Asked about my trip to Algeria in March 2017 and what his family thought of me.
My fiance pointed out I had returned in October and was in the room.
What do you have in common with your fiance?
Why do you love your fiance?
Then said "welcome to America, your visa is approved"
After the interview they told my fiance it would take no more than 10 days to get his passport with the visa. He picked up the passport and packet on November 2, 2017 |

*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.
