| Embassy Review : |
We arrived right on time based on other reviews/feedback not to show up early. When the interview notices came through my son's interview was actually listed as 15 minutes after mine. I explained to the security guard he is a minor so he was let in with me and I was instructed me to tell them upstairs why he was early. We went through security and I was directed to one of two windows upstairs. I stood in front so they could see me and a lady came right over. There was a ledge to put my binder of documents on and a hook for coats. The lady taking my documents was nice.
I only gave them the documents they specifically asked for as they asked for them. They took all of my originals first and then my son's. I gave them one photo each which she scanned and gave back to us. Our police certificates had expired so I got new ones which I brought to the interview. These are the only ones I gave them. Likewise, I brought a new I-864 and they only wanted that one. I did not have a 2019 transcript but the copy of the 1040 and W-2s was accepted with no issues. The main thing they were checking was that the new I-864 was actually signed by the petitioner.
We waited about 40 minutes to get called back up for the actual interview. The interviewer was very pleasant and nice. I think I got asked every question others reported in their reviews combined and then some lol (who is your petitioner, when did you meet, where do each of you live, what does he do, have you been married before, when did you get divorced, do you have any children together, any other kids for each of you, have you been outside of the US, have you been to the US, longest time in the US, any trouble with the law or immigration, etc). Since my son is 17and applying for IR-2 visa we didn't know what to expect. They did ask him some direct questions as well (is he in school or finished, what does he plan to do, is he excited to move to US, has he had any trouble with the law or immigration and if he was married now or ever had been married). At the end she said she was going to approve us. I got the “Welcome to the US†document. We were in there about an hour and 40 minutes total.

Timeline Comments: 11-129F NOA1: 9/3/2019 with LIN number
*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.
