**This review is being written on behalf of my fiance and his experience**
My fiance showed up to the consulate for his interview on March 7th, 2019 at 7:15. We were worried about our I-134 form as it was a copy and NOT the original. To our both surprise and relief... nothing was said. He was given his token number after paperwork was acquired and asked him to take a seat. The room was packed with people! An officer in the room had told my fiance that on a normal day they see about 120-130 interviews. TODAY they had a maximum record of 230 interviews!! You could tell that things were crazy busy. My fiance waited close to two hours before his token was called. He approached the counter where a middle-aged, brown hair, white man wearing glasses was waiting for him. He did not greet my fiance or say anything to him at first. Finally, he said hello and started immediately with "How did you meet your fiance?" He didn't ask my fiance any standard questions K1 interviewers ask:
1. How did you meet your fiance?
Answer
2. What does she do for work?
Answer
3. What types of jobs does she recruit for?
Answer
4. Why not get married while you were in the states working on the cruise ships?
(For the Record: My fiance had a C/D1 visa for working on ships and you can't get a marriage license with that type of visa)
5. What took so long for you to get married?
(Seriously? His divorce was finalized Nov 2017 and we applied for his visa in June 2018. What "long time" is he talking about?
During this time the interviewer was constantly rubbing his arms, shoulders, tapping his pen, click on his computer. Made little to no eye contact and got up twice during the interview to walk to another desk. After looking at one picture and a pamphlet for our wedding venue (looked at and asked for nothing else) he came back with a 221g for "Proof of Relationship." No reason was given. This experience was poor, to say the least. Now we are stuck with a 221g and more time has been added to our process. Most of the evidence was at the interview with my fiance to begin with. I guess it's a good thing I wasn't there because I would have to have been escorted off the premises javascript:emoticon(' ') |

Flew into Tampa at 6 pm. Immigration took about 3-5 mins from start to finish. Approached the desk and was asked two questions: "When are you getting married" and "Do you understand the next steps?" Officer took the packet and stamped the visa. Very easy and quick! |

Our appointment was on 12/05/2019 @ 8:30 am. We checked in and took a seat in the waiting area. It took about 30 - 45 minutes for us to be seen by an officer. I believe his name was Michael... He was polite, firm, and focused. We began by him asking my husband about himself and then about me. He asked all the "yes or no" questions that were filled out in our original application. He looked over our supporting documents (bank statements/shared account info., utility bills, rental agreement). We also presented pictures of our wedding, recent trip to Disney World, and casual photos.
He pointed to people in the pictures and asked who they were (Parents and Brother)
He asked my husband what my parents ans brother do for work.
He asked him what his favorite restaurant was and then to me what he orders.
What our favorite foods are.
He then asked me what is something my husband does that irritates me. (I looked to my attorney and asked if that was a trick question before answering. We all laughed at that!)
After all was said and done, he said he sees no reason to not approve us and we left the office.
Overall, it was just as intimidating as I expected. However, we now have an approval and the Green Card was mailed to us yesterday! |

Hi Tara and Rohit, can you please shed additional light on what pieces of "proof of relationship" you brought to the interview, and what additional evidence you provided for the 221g? Thank you and congratulations!

@Creamy I wrote a response to this question on the 221g forum. If you have any additional 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.
