Embassy Review : |
My interview was March 6, 2019
8am
Quick note: seriously read on their website what not to bring, there are lockers at the Eatons center if needed. No bags or electronics allowed, although if you had a phone they held it for you on the main floor, i left mine at my airbnb. They will not allow you in with large bags or backpacks.
I got there just before 7:30am, few people already standing in line and within 5 minutes the security guard slowly started letting people in.
The lady inside asked for my passport and appointment letter. She put a sticker on the back of my passport and handed me a laminated paper with the number 10 on it and with instructions on how to organize my documents. Then i was moved to security (same as the airport) then was told to go downstairs and wait. Within a few minutes the security guard came down and got us in the elevator and up to the 19th floor.
From there you sit on the left side of the room, the security guards dont really like people wandering around so its best to take that time to organize your documents in the proper order and sit and wait for your number to be called. I waited 45 minutes to be called. Once called they will ask for documents, they asked me for:
Passport
Passport photocopy
2 passport photos
Proof of payment
Letter of intent to marry
Medical exam (didnt need the xray)
Police check (i lived in australia and New Zealand and they didnt want those pilice checks)
Birth certificate and photocopy
2018 tax return
Affidavit of support
They then take fingerprints ( i always have trouble with this my finger have no prints or something)
- I brought so much extra proof of financials and they didnt ask for it-
Then i sat down and waited another 30 mins to be called for the interview. Its just in a small room with a glass between you and your interviewer. She had me raise my right hand and swear i was telling the truth. The lady I had was very friendly, complemented my Photos i supplied of my fiance and I in the I-129F.
She asked :
How did you meet
When did you meet
When did you meet in person
Have you met his parents
Have your parents met each other
Where else have you travelled
Where are you going to be living
What does your fiance do
What do you do for work
Then she closed my file and said everything looks great, she was smiling snd laughing the whole time. (I again had problems with the finger printing - she told me usually only old ladies have this problem LOL I am 27) she gave me back my birth certificate and another form.
Then said congratulations and handed me the famous pink sheet and explained how my passport would come! All in all i was there for roughly 2 hours.

*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.
