Visas were approved.
Nina, her daugher and I couldn't sleep nor could we wait..we left the hotel at 6:30 for the consulate. We arrived that at 7:06. A line had already formed and they were letting people onto the consulate grounds. We showed our letter, but no one showed us to the much shorter "red" line. An actual red line on the ground for K1, K3, and DV Lottery appicants with appointments. After reading on here that there should be a special line, I asked and was directed to the appropriate line. We were 5th in line.
They allowed us into the building at 7:35. We were given a number and were asked to taked a seat. We were called to a window at 8:00. Here they took all of the paper work that was requested in the interview letter. They did not request any supporting documentation at this point and to my surprise did not take my letter of employment, only my I134. At 8:10 they called our number and we paid for the visa. The cashier carefully checked every bill for the slightest of defects and used a marker to verify the money was legit. She gave us our receipt and then told us to have a seat.
We were called to a window at 9:00. The guy in the booth looked youthful and was pleasant. He greeted us with a friendly hello and I gave him back a West Virginia "howdy". He asked if Nina would need a translator and we said, yes. He then asked if I spoke Russian. My reply was no, I know some phrases. A young woman was standing behind him and she gave Nina directions about having here fingerprints taken. They took Nina's fingerprints, had to take them 3 times because the computer program wouldn't save them. I joked with the guy that technology is great when it works. He smiled and said he needed to back out of the program and retry, that the machine was reading her prints, but wasn't saving them. To my relief, that worked, they had her fingerprints. They then had her swear in. They asked her how we met. He asked me how we met. He said he could see from my visas in my application that I had been to Belarus several times. They asked Nina if she had ever been out of Belarus. She explained when and where. The CO asked me when we met. I told him 2001 and he said he would guess we had lots of phones calls and he was smiling. I said, yes. He said your visas are approved, but due to regulations they would need to do a 24 hour background check, please bring the passports back tomorrow morning and we would then be able to pick them up in the afternoon.
I was really surprised, that was it. I thought we were going to go to an office somewhere and sit down, but everything transpired right there at the window. At 9:07, we were leaving the consulate....APPROVED. |

*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.
