The interview was very fast. No more than 15 minutes.
More was the waiting time than anything.
6 history/civics questions and then the interviewer goes through your NS-400 and ask you LOT of questions about it. Basically he asked me everything I wrote there.
Oh ! I went alone, my wife didn't come because in the letter does not indicate at all that I had to bring her.
But of course she asked me where is my wife and when I said she was at work, she told me she should have come. I said, the letter does not indicate that as a requirement. She said she will continue with the interview anyway and ask her supervisor if she needs to come.
At the end, she told me is fine, she does not need to come you are approved. |

| Embassy Review : |
Today (01/04/2007 [mm/dd/yy]) I just get my VISA K-1 at Lima, Peru USA embassy. My appointment was for 7.30 am, the first turn, I went at 7.00 am. I was the third in the line.
I was very very nervous. We went into the bulding at 7.30 am and I was called to the window number 10. It was a lady that spoke in spanish to me, she just ask me for the forms DS-156 (2), DS-156K (1), DS-157 (1), medical certificate, Banco de la Nacion Invoice, and evidence of the relationship like boarding passes, letters, and pictures. After that she asked to take sit. I waited for about 15 minutes !! ... AWFUL ... and then I was called to the window number 9, there was a man in his fourties, and the first he said was "..there is a problem ..... " ( I was dying at that moment ) but then "...with the computer..." ... wow I freaked out ... then he said "..take sit I'll call you again..." (at this point all the conversation was in spanish).
I was waiting and he start calling to the other persons, I saw one approval and one ... " ... send extra migration evidence papers together by DHL to this address and we will call you to ask you to come back ... ", there was a case were she was with her fiance and they asked her to stay sit and because he was going to the ROOM 15 .. I don't know why. Then was my turn again ... I went to the window and the guy start talking to me in english, and he asked me how many times I was in USA, I said 5 ... after that he asked me the longest time I have been in USA, and then we start with the problems because 2005 and 2006 were high travel years for me for business. So I was not sure, and I said 3 months in June, then he asked me are you sure ?, and I said .... no, then he start to be REALLY RUDE !!, and he said, How is possible you don't know !! .. what about August 2005 !!! ... I was peeing in my pants by that time ... but then I remembered, and I said oh ok ... 5 months from August to December 2005. After that he asked me: "where did you met ?", "How did you met ?", and he asked why you were in USA, so I said for business, and then again being really rude he said, THAT ANSWER IS NOT HELPING ME !! .. Why did you travel ? , then I gave him a better explanation of my business. more questions, Where are you going to live ?, Where is she living ?, How old is she ?, How old are you ?, Have you being married before ?, She has been married before ?, Does she has kids ? .... and that was all. After 30 seconds of silence, with only the noice of some papers, he took the pink ticket, and said: "Visa approved", Have a good day .... with not even an smile.

*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.
