| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview on the 3rd January 08. I came there at 8.25am, and there were a lot of applicants there for visitor visas, and then the guard saw my appointment letter and told me to line up in front of the door.
After 15 minutes, they let me in and I went to the immigrant visa unit room at about 8.45am, there were like 10 people there. I handed in all the documents to a local officer and he asked me for a third passport picture ( the letter only says 2! ) anyway I gave him one more and then he told me to have a seat and wait.
After almost an hour, I had my fingers print.
And then after 30 minutes, I was first interviewed by a local lady. She asked me who applied the petition for me, how I meet my fiance, what does he do, why I want to marry him, what our marriage plan is, what common interests we have, what I worked and studyed before.. actually she asked me about our ages mostly, because she said "do you think it is too early for you two to get married?" I am 18 and my fiance is 19, and then I told her that my sister got married even earlier, so she went "oh, did your whole family get married early?" I said I think so and then we both smiled. And she continued to ask what my parents and his parents think about our marriage, and that was it.
And soon I was interviewed by a nice american lady in english, she asked me how and when we met, why I want to marry him, what his major is, where he goes to work.. and then she said everything was great and told me to wait a while. At last, I was called by a local lady, and she gave me back my stuff and told me to pay the postal fee and I would get my visa in a week.
I left the conculate at 11am. I never thought they would ask me a lot of questions, and I think if you stay calm and tell the truth, it will be fine! Good luck!  |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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
