| Embassy Review : |
As much as I complain, however, the DCF, or Direct Consular Filing, process was surprisingly painless. Even the interview was benign, I mean the Consulate official only water-boarded her for two or three minutes, tops.
The questions went something like this:
1. Hi, how are you? To which she answered, fine. (So far, so good.)
2. How long have you known your husband? How long have you been married? (Again, pretty easy.)
3. How did you meet? At this point; I interjected, saying that I felt it unreasonable that we answer questions that are clearly covered in the GeoffandAmy.com FAQ. I mean, that is why they are there, so we don't have to. If he didn't do his homework first, it is not our fault. He gave me a look, that I interpreted as "Be quiet."
4. Have you ever been to the US? She answered she had, he followed up with "Why?" She then mentioned that she lost her baby and went for the funeral and that line of questions was quickly abandoned.
5. Do you know Geoff's family? Yes, his mother and father.
6. Does he have brothers and sisters? Yes, two sisters. (Which is correct.)
7. Are they older or younger? One is older, the other younger. (Which is false, but since he didn't know any better, I just kept my mouth shut. She said that immediately after she answered she knew she had made a mistake but was afraid to correct herself.)
8. Have you been to the doctor yet? No, we are going right after we get done here.
9. Ok, he says, looks good, unless we have some problems with the medical test, I am going to sign off on this, expect your visa in about a week.
And that was it. All in all, an easy day. Amy claims to now be getting excited about our impending move to Newport, Rhode Island (which is the first stop, for about six months, when we return) now that she is pretty certain she can go. |

*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.
