Interview was scheduled for 7:30am. Was allowed to enter by 6:50am At the gate you need to have all the docs. They will tell you all the things you need. Passport and immigrant letter at gate. Once you get in, you have to have *passport, DS-260, interview letter, marriage certificate, birth certificate, PCC along with a copy of each*. Once you are all done, they give you a number (ex. G2) and thats your number. When that comes on screen, you have to go to the counter and they will collect all the docs along with originals and give you some legal rights papers. At that time, they asked me my mother's maiden name? Have you visited any other country? Have you applied for a Visa before? Then he said “Ok wait for interview” and gave the paper with the legal rights of immigrant and green card fees instructions. After like 20mins I got called up to another counter. Interviewer made me pledge I am telling the truth. Then fingerprints and asked the following questions: Was it arranged or love? Where did you go for your honeymoon? How many time he came to India after marriage? When? -in September Where does your spouse/petitioner works? -answered Role / job description of spouse? -explained (in detail) Spouse education? Where did he studied in India or US? How long has he been in the US? How did your spouse came to USA? Do you have any photographs of September trips you had? Then he gave a paper that said my visa is approved with big bright smile. Whole process took about 1hr and reached hotel at 8.30am. One big tip: have all the documents above at easy access with the original and copy together. This saves time. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 92 days from your NOA1 date.

*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
