The interview was rather standard if you've been following all the other Malaysian timelines.
I was scheduled for 9 a.m. Despite being stuck in the Kuala Lumpur traffic jam, I arrived with 15 minutes to spare and began waiting outside the embassy.
I was let in around 8.55 a.m. where I was led into a room and given an interview documents checklist. I was told to assemble my documents in order if possible before being given a queue number.
This process finished around 9.15 a.m. I then waited to be called to submit my documents.
I was called around 9.40 a.m. to the other section of the embassy where I was given a queue number, then started queueing to see the embassy staff.
The embassy staff collected my documents, including my passport, DS-260, DS-160, medical exam results (excluding my x-ray), marriage cert, birth cert. All the other documents I prepared, including my NVC fee summaries, my birth cert copies, the I-864 (AOS) forms, the W-2 forms, x-ray, were all given back to me. It was a little sad, I guess because most of these documents I realized I've forgotten to prepare the night before. So I had to run out to a 24-hour printing shop to get it done. But oh well..
After meeting the embassy staff, I was told to return to the previous room where I will wait for my turn.
Around 10.40 a.m., I was called to my booth.
The embassy staff was really nice and chill. After greeting me, he asked the following questions:
1) Where did you meet your wife?
2) When was your first face-to-face (since we met online)?
3) At what point in your relationship were you romantic?
4) How long were you engaged?
And that was it! It all took less than 5 minutes and I was told that my application looks good and I should receive the visa between 2-3 business days. |

*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.
