Embassy Review : |
Hi All,
I was not there myself, but this is my husband's review.
He arrived about 15 minutes early. He was asked for all the items in the interview appointment letter (passport, passport size photo, marriage certificate, his birth certificate, his police clearance certificate, my divorce decree, and any pertinent relationship proof). We had our wedding photos and photos of our visits to each other, which were sufficient. We made a binder that had everything from our petition ANR what we uploaded on CEAC but this is all they really looked at.
He was called up to the window and said the only real "on the record" question they asked him was "when did you guys meet?" He said the consular officer (CO) was super nice and made him feel at ease. The rest of the interview was more conversational. The CO made some jokes about our street name (in California) and talked about my husband's job prospects. He made a sweet comment that we looked really cute and happy together, and that he wishes us the best.
The CO also gave him the tip not to fly through the usual connections of AMS or CDG or LHR, and my hubs asked about flying out from IST, which he recommended. He said hubs will get his passport and visa on Monday, and then he'll be able to come home to me.
I hope this review helps you all out! |

Timeline Comments: 9Congratulations on getting your interview date you guys! Did you apply for an expedite? Have you been able to schedule a medical yet?
Thank you! No, we didn't apply for expedite. My husband is going to try scheduling his medical first thing in the morning.
Congratulations in advance for your interview today.
You shall furnish us with your questions.
Kindly furnish us with your questions
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get the actual questions from my husband yet. I'll try to update later.
Per my husband, the only legitimate on the record question they asked was "when did you guys meet?"
Congratulations!
Did you have to complete any Covid related forms? If so did you complete it at the embassy or in advance?
No, he was not asked to complete any covid paperwork
*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.
