| Embassy Review : |
The interviewer seemed annoyed that I didn't have a statement explaining why I hadn't provided my tax returns for the past 3 years. I guess I'd thought it would be obvious, since I'd reported no income for those years. In retrospect, it was absurd to hope a person would be able to glace over that big pile of papers, absorb, and cross-reference all the information instantly, at 8 am. Then the interviewer gave her a series of specific questions regarding my finances, on which she seemed to do okay, but not great on.
She was then asked a series of questions about me and how well she knew me, which is unusual for a K-1 interview, but common for a CR-1 (spouse) interview. She recognized this, and started to get flustered. She missed a few questions, about names of my friends, who we haven't talked about much, and where I went to university. The university question was probably my fault. Perhaps I was very sleepy, but at some point, I told her that I'd gone to the University of Arizona. I quickly corrected myself, but I know when I hear two conflicting statements it is very likely that I will not remember which is correct, and quite possible my brain will toss the entire conversation out my ear.
The interviewer started looking at our "Evidence of Relationship", and looked through our pictures. We had two pages, each with 4 pictures, with names, places, and dates. He asked if she had more, and she said, oh yes, many, on her phone, then realized that of course security had taken her phone when she entered the consulate. I suspect interviewers ask this question just to have fun 
The interview was probably quite a bit longer and more painful than most, but that was expected with an "assets only" I-134.
Result: Approved, no RFE |

Timeline Comments: 8When you receive your visa in hand can you update about it please?
The day after the interview, CEAC status changed to "Application Received", and stayed that way for ~1 week. Today, CEAC changed to "Administrative Processing", and the Case Last Updated date changed to today.
CEAC did the same before P3 arrived by EMS, so I suspect this might sometimes indicate things are being readied for EMS. Hopefully, this time it's the passport+visa.
I am happy you received your passport!!!!!
We finally got the visa delivered. The USTravelDocs website showed the visa as "Your passport is ready for pickup", which was confusing, since we'd requested it to be delivered. This message means that the consulate has sent an email to the beneficiary with tracking info. The passport+visa + package of docs was delivered the next day.
Yay!
Random question, on the checklist of items to bring for interview there is one that says "Online Registration Confirmation Page", which is from when you sign up on ustraveldocs.com. For the life of me I cant figure out where to find that? Do you recall?
That is the DS-160 confirmation page. When you finish the DS-160, or even later, you can log back in and print the page from https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx
*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
