Description |
| Review Date : |
July 16, 2007 |
| Embassy Review : |
The actual interview lasted only 10 minutes. The interviewer started out by reviewing all the required documents. I was unemployed at the time I filled out the Affidavit of Support so I filed based on assets rather than income. They only ask for the most recent tax return, but I sent the last 3. He then began asking my fiancee about my tax returns. Did she know that I made considerably more money the previous two years than last year? Could she explain why? I believe he was only testing her more than anything else. She correctly answered that I had quit my job and was not working which is why I had made less money.
My fiancee had printed out all our email communication and selected 20 for the interviewer to read. She attached a list with a brief description of what each email contained. She also had pictures of the two us together and with her family, letters and email to her from my family, and cards and letters with postmarks. He took the 20 emails that she had selected and browsed through them. My fiancee said he had been very serious up until that point. After looking at the 20 emails he looked at my fiancee and gave her a big smile and said, "Congratulations." He never asked to see any of the pictures, cards and letters, or any of the other supporting evidence. |

*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.
