Embassy Review : |
Our interview was scheduled for 8:00 AM. We arrived early, at around 7:00 AM. It's a pretty organized facility/process. There are lots of employees there that direct everyone to their proper line. Upon entering the facility, my fiance was asked for his appointment confirmation, we entered and went through metal detectors. Once we passed that section, we were directed by an employee to have a seat in the "resident" visa (there is also a "visitor" visa line). At this point it was approximately 7:20 AM. We waited for about 15 minutes, and were called to enter the building. Once we entered the building, we made another line for the windows. Once we arrived at the window, my fiance was asked for his passport and medical records. Shortly after, he gave us a number and asked us to have a seat. Afterwards, he called us up again (I guess to finish inputting my fiance's information). Once that was done, he said we were set and could have a seat and wait for our number to be called.
Our number was called at approximately 9:45 AM, and the interview itself was no more than 10 minutes long. The consulate official asked my fiance 1. when we met? 2. how we met? 3. He asked for more photos, which I provided to him), he pointed at a photo and asked him who those other people were (my fiances cousins). 4. He asked why we didn't have photos with his parents (his mother is deceased, and we've just never happen to take a photo with his dad for no specific reason. 5. When we plan on getting married, and what kind of wedding do we want?
He then said "Okay. Your visa has been approved. Here are the instructions on how to pick up your passport. It would be ready in 7-10 day." And that was it.
We were outside eating by 10:15 AM, pretty smooth. |

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
