| Embassy Review : |
Walked to the Consulate from my Airbnb. (12 mins) Arrived at 7:55 appt at 8:30. After security screen, took elevator up to 19th floor. I sat at a desk and organized the paperwork according to the order they give you on the laminated card with your number. I was 16. I got called up to the intake window at 9:30. Gave the super nice lady all my documents that were asked for, got fingerprinted and went to sit down again. My number wasn’t called until 11:30. The interview itself was fast, only got asked my husband’s full name, where he was living, why had changed embassies. He commented that my file was very well put together (because I was originally at Juarez, all my documents were submitted in paper form, so my file was about 6 inches thick! Most people there have submitted their paperwork through CEAC). He said “well I have no more questions, so welcome to the USA!! That was it. Most of the time was spent sitting and stewing over nothing. Just relax. |

Timeline Comments: 4Congrats!
The officer didn't ask for any evidence at all that your husband had domicile in the US? Also, was your husband at the interview as well?
Just starting the process and trying to get an understanding around the interview. We have a small child so if only the beneficiary has to go to the interview that would be ideal.
All the US domicile info was submitted to NVC a lot of bank statements, DL renewal, car registration, voter ID, AAA renewal. No my husband stayed at home in Mexico to look after our pets. No problem at all.
When did you send that stuff to NVC? I'm curious just because you normally see people present that info to the Montreal consulate instead.
I submitted everything noted above (US domicile info) etc to NVC together with AOS, joint sponsor etc at the same time. They only double check originals at the embassy. I think you can submit extra info at the embassy if you want though.. Your case won’t be complete at NVC until they have all they want.
*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.
