| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at 0910 for a 0930 appointment and joined the small queue to gain access to the embassy.
Provided my printed interview confirmation email and passport and then headed in through the security checks.
Checked in at the reception and the gentleman there looked over my interview confirmation and gave me a sticker detailing my number an which interview windows I needed to head to.
Waited for about 5-10 minutes for my number to be called and I headed up to the window to sort through my documents. The lady behind the counter was friendly and professional. She took my birth certificate, passport, marriage certificate, police record, military service records and one of my visa style photos (which was copied and then given back). I wasn't asked for DS-260 confirmation, I-864, tax returns or the copy of my spouses passport. I would still recommend taking them though just in case.
I was then told to sit down and wait for my number to be called for the interview. I waited for about 10-15 minutes before I was called. The man behind the counter was nice and professional. He asked about our wedding, when we met and what I did in the military. Very quick and painless, told me he would be happy to approve my visa today but that he had to wait on my medical results to arrive. He told me that it would take up to 2 weeks from the arrival of the medical documents for my passport to get back to me, but it could be sooner.
Then I was out the door by 10am. Very smooth and really not something to worry about if you have all your documents prepared. |

*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.
