| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at the embassy ~5 mins before appointment, went through security, and was let into a waiting room (with only carrying the papers needed for interview; everything else must be left at the security).
Got called to booth number 1, where a Finnish speaking officer asked to submit all the originals, one passport-style picture, passport and pre-paid return envelope (along with I-864, tax return of 2019, and husband's passport bio page, which I had copies of). Then, some more waiting, until was asked to go to booth number 3. There an English-speaking officer asked me to take the oath and submit fingerprints. She then started asking:
1. When did we meet?
2. Have I been married before?
3. Has my husband been married before? (He has, and the officer started going through the papers, and asked me to give the divorce documents. I told her I don't have the originals - only copies, to which she replied "oh nevermind, I can see them on my computer".
4. When did we get married?
She said everything seemed fine, and I can expect to have the visa issued and delivered in 1-2 weeks (in case they still needed something, they would email me).
After the interview, visa status remained "Ready", until it changed to "Issued" dy after the interview.
Overall a fast and hassle-free experience - I was in and out within an hour. |

*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.
