| Embassy Review : |
- I arrived 30 mins before, at 07.30. The line can be long but they will tell you to cut it at certain points if needed. Have your DS-260 confirmation page ready.
- I spoke to officers at two different booths. The first one involved fingerprints, documents check, questions when I anticipate moving, etc. For me, the documents were: interview & courier confirmation, US-style photo, originals of passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police certificates.
- Then a bit of a wait and the next booth is the "interview" but it was just: when/how did you meet, when did you see each other again after the initial meeting, when did you get married, have you been living together since or apart?
- The tone felt very casual and friendly -- *everyone* at the embassy was super friendly.
- Keep an eye on all the screens because it's kind of easy to miss when your number flashes on the main screen. My second booth was actually behind me and thankfully the people next to me caught that my number had flashed.
- I was the first immigrant visa interview of the day and done by 08.20.
Overall extremely straightforward provided you have all the correct documents with you. |

*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.
