| Embassy Review : |
Wanted to give a quick consulate review for you guys with upcoming interviews:
• My appointment was for 8am. I showed up at like 7:35am. There were a few people outside waiting, so I got in line. They ask for your letter and passport and then you go through security. You receive a laminated paper saying what your number is - I got number 9.
• Up to the 19th floor and we were told to have a seat and wait. They started calling people up to the counter - this part takes the longest. Once my number was called at around 8:30 I think, I went up to the window. The lady was very nice asked to see my documents. She ended up having to go help a coworker for like 10 minutes which was fine, she asked to see all the paperwork on the list they give you and I also provided pay stubs and a letter of employment for my husband, which she kept. I also provided the name police check and the Privacy Act check. She also took fingerprints at this time. Then I was told to sit and wait for the interview.
• Side note - I sat with @tnn2018 who I met on VJ and had dinner with yesterday - I can’t even explain how nice it was to have a friendly face in there to sit with!
• I was called up for the interview: It was super straight forward. She had me take an oath and asked me how my husband and I met, how long we’ve been married, how our wedding was, where he works and lives.That was it! I answered everything honestly and she said “I am approving your visa†Pretty simple. She gave me a letter and a paper with how to track your Visa as they are mailing them out again!
• I left at 10am!
That was pretty much it... quick and easy! If anyone has questions let me know!

*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.
