Embassy Review : |
Very good experience.
We arrived half an hour early but found a long line of people waiting to get in. Turns out they had no power in the morning so they opened late and had fallen behind 1.5 hours on appointments. We went through security then to a desk to present our interview notice and they took a picture of my husband with a patriotic background (which I'm guessing is the picture that will be used on his green card). Then we went into the waiting area to wait. About an hour later they finally called us up and were interviewed by Mr. Garcia. He was really nice but had a very cool demeanor (we couldn't tell his emotions). He interviewed us together and asked for our IDs (I presented my driver license and he presented his EAD card and social security) and had us swear an oath. Then he asked us questions:
Me: what's your address? when and how did you meet?
Him: have you met her family? did you travel to see them? where did you work before you came here?
He asked to see a picture of our wedding and we showed him the pic along others from other days, but he said "it's okay, I just need this one."
Then he asked if we have any bills together and we showed him our light bill (under my name but same address) and our internet bill (under his name but same address). He asked if we had a lease together and we did so we showed it to him and he said "Okay, that's all I'll need from this".
He then went through the application and asked the security questions: "Will you/have you/are you a relative of someone who participate/d in trafficking, prostitution, etc" Once he finished, he said he needed his vaccination form DS-3025 because he couldn't find it in the records. We provided that and he said that was it. He said "I just need to make a few updates to your case file tonight and if everything you said here is true, you should be getting your green card in about 2 weeks. After that, you'll need to renew it in about a year and a half."
We walked out not knowing exactly how well it went and our moods soured when as soon as we got out of the building we got an update saying "Interview is Complete and Case Must be Reviewed". However, at 3pm that same day, it changed again to Case Approved.
Tip: Make sure you go prepared and you go over everything you put in the I-485.

Timeline Comments: 18Hi celeste.. i wanted to ask u as a lebanese applier .. did u send any engagement pictures or have u done any kind of engagement ceremonies before applying for the I129f
Celie on 2018-11-16 said:Hi Sara! No, we didn't do any ceremony. It was a surprise engagement so we don't really have pictures other than of the set up, but we provide 10 pictures of us together and with his family and friends. It's so nice to see another Lebanese filer and from Texas too! We are few, I think. lol
Yay! Congratulations on your approval!!!

You're getting married the day before us! Congratulations! What a wonderful weekend that will be!!!
I’m fairly nervous about the whole process. Can you tell me all what documents they asked of you? I know every embassy is different but I do not want to have wasted all my time.
