My interview is finally over and done with!!!Â
Â
Our interview was at 11.45 and we got there for around 11.30. We signed in and waited around 20 minutes for our number to be called. A nice lady greeted us and walks us around to the interview room asked us how we were etc. In the office we were sworn in. She confirmed the information on our forms such as my name my husbands name, DOB, address etc. Then she went through the generic questions like have you committed murder etc. Then she asked how did we get to this point (relationship, marriage, moving) so we told her our story and she laughed and smiled as we told her and she thought it was funny that we met whilst playing GTA on the Xbox 😂. Then she asked my husband where he works if he still works there, she asked who attended our wedding and how my parents felt about the marriage. That was it! After that she just asked for anything we wanted to add to our file so I handed over a bunch of documents and then she asked if we had any questions to which my husband asked about what i need to bring with me to travel (I already knew the answer to this but he didn't) she said just your passport and greencard. At that point she stood up and smiled and said okay that's every thing and my husband laughed and jokingly said wait aren't we going to be separated and questioned and she laughed and said no that takes to damn long 😂
Â
So from that I'm assuming I've been approved but just waiting for my case to update. All in all it was a really nice experience and felt just like a conversation 😠|

| Embassy Review : |
Yesterday I arrived at the embassy at 12.10 but my appointment was at 12.30 so i wasn't too sure if i was to early so i went to the blue tent and asked the lady stood there, she said that i was able to go in. She asked for either my DS-160 or the confirmation letter for my appointment so i gave her the DS-160 and she signed it and told me to go into the security room.
I has to press a button outside to let them know i needed letting in, I then put my coat, bag and phone in the tray and walked through the metal detector and was good to go into the embassy.
When you first walk in there is a reception desk this is where you will give them the piece of paper the first person signed outside and the person at reception will put a sticker on the paper with your number, then you'll walk into the main hall.
Imagine it like a really big post office, on your left it's row after row of what i describe as airport seats and then on your right is 11 windows (like what they have in a post office) all numbered. At the very front of the hall is a large TV which flashes up numbers, keep an eye out for yours! When your number flashes up it will tell you what window to go to. My number flashed up no sooner than i sat down and i was called to window 3 where i was greeted by a friendly gentleman. He asked for my passport, 1 passport picture, I-134 and supporting documents (i gave my fiance's letter from employer and his paystubbs for the past year). He then took my fingerprints (push your hand down hard!), he put all my documents in a folder and stuck a sticker onto the front of my passport and then told me to take a seat again.
I waited an hour and 15 minutes before my number got called again. I can honestly say it felt like i was sat there for 10 hours, the time seemed to drag and i was getting more nervous by the second!!
I got called to window 13 which is around the corner (when you first walk into the hall at the beginning, windows 12-20 are down a small corridor to your right). This time i was greeted by a lady who again was really friendly (thank god!). She asked me only 6 questions and my interview literally lasted around 3-4 minutes at the most. Here is what she asked me.....
How did you meet?
Have you both travelled back and forth?
Where does your fiance live?
Is it a house or and apartment?
What does he do for work?
What is your plan once you get there?
I also need to add that i had my medical on the 28/09 but they needed some additional information from my GP which delayed things, my medical results hadn't yet arrived at the embassy (they should be arriving today hopefully). I explained this to the lady who interviewed me and she was really nice about it, after she asked me the 6 questions she smiled and said 'okay well that's all good, once we've received your medical results we will ship your visa, allow 14 days to receive it'.
I'm so relieved it is finally over and i don't need to panic about every little thing! It was a really nice experience, all staff were polite and friendly and it was a very painless interview! |

My interview was initially booked for the 10th October but on the day I received a call from the office advising the office had closed due to an emergency and my interview will be rescheduled, a week later I received a letter in the post with a new interview date, the 15th November.
Our interview was at 11.45 and we got there for around 11.30. We signed in and waited around 20 minutes for our number to be called. A nice lady greeted us and walks us around to the interview room asked us how we were etc. In the office we were sworn in. She confirmed the information on our forms such as my name my husbands name, DOB, address etc. Then she went through the generic questions like have you committed murder etc. Then she asked how did we get to this point (relationship, marriage, moving) so we told her our story and she laughed and smiled as we told her and she thought it was funny that we met whilst playing GTA on the Xbox 😂.

*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.
