VISA APPROVED on July 23rd! Many thanks to everyone who helped me on this forum, I will be moving to California on Aug 10th (fingers crossed I get my passport back before then). Been very busy wrapping up so didn't get a chance to post here before, apologies!
My appointment was at 10:15am but being too keen I got there at 9:50am and was asked to come back at 10:15am. The security officer asked for my name and checked it off on the list he had. Thereafter, the security asked me to put my electronic devices in the small locker. I was then asked to take the elevator to the first floor and hand in my passport at Window 6. The office was mostly empty with one lady ahead of me in the line. After handing my passport at Window 6, I was asked to sit down and waited for my number to be called. After about 10 mins of waiting, I was called at another Window where they asked for the following documents:
1) Birth certificate (they didn't ask for petitioner's birth certificate, only mine)
2) Marriage certificate
3) Previous marriage divorce certificate
4) Police certificate
After giving the above documents, I was given the Domestic Violence pamphlet. Then I was waiting for another ~10 mins and was called at a different Window. A very nice officer asked me the following questions:
1) How did my spouse and I meet?
2) Which countries have I visited in the last 5 years?
3) What does my husband do for living?
4) What do I do for living?
5) Where would we be living in the States?
After answering those questions, he said “we are faster than the system and that it is slowing down but I do plan to approve your visa†and handed me the “Welcome to USA†letter. I was in tears and told him it has been a very long wait and he said he can understand. Overall, it was a breeze and I was done the entire process in about 30 mins! Good luck to everyone and thank you again for this forum, it took away a lot of anxiety for me and am forever grateful.

Timeline Comments: 2Yes, sorry for the delay.
*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
