| Embassy Review : |
We weren't really asked a lot of questions. We have been together for over 8 years and have 3 kids together, so the evidence must have spoken for itself. The IO asked my wife (petitioner) some basic questions like name, DOB, place of birth. , when we got married...that's it.
The IO then asked for my divorce decree from my last marriage, that I had already provided a copy of in the application -- I told her I only had the original but I'd be happy to part ways with it if she couldn't locate the copy in the petition  . Anyway, she was able to find it.. She asked about my current employer/ H1b status a bit -- asked about my worksite. She finally asked how many children we have together, at which point she realized we had 3 children together and not from any other marriage. At that point we could tell she was convinced of the bonafide relationship and then she asked the formality "have you ever done x" questions.
She specifically stated she never tells anyone they are approved on the spot but that she does not need anything else from us and everything looked good. She said she will make a decision after running a "final security check". I asked whether that was standard procedure and she said everyone goes through that.
We thanked her and left the FS. We grabbed some lunch on the way home and the status changed to Card is being produced on our drive home.
Just general notes:
- The interview was over video chat. At first we couldn't see the IO but she activated her camera mid-way through the interview.
- We arrived with very little additional evidence since we sent a lot of evidence with the petition. We bought a house in January and let the IO know if she wanted to see the deed - She basically said she didn't need anything else - again, probably because of 3 kids together. - We saw other couples with lawyers and large binders -- every case is different though.
- We arrived a bit nervous but settled down quickly after we were seated in a common room where they have tables with plexi-glass and iPads. Don't be us, bring a pen. We had to ask for one.. even though the interview notice said to bring our own pens.
- Masks were mandated to be worn at all times, even during the interview over the iPad. The only time they asked us to take the mask off was at the security check-in at the front.
- The USCIS staff was courteous, professional and friendly. Not every FS might be like this, but we had a good experience overall. |

*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.
