Description |
| Review Date : |
June 12, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
VO：how did you meet your husband?
Me: I met my husband on a website called Asianpromise.
I put our photo albums in front of the window, VO noticed and asked: can I have a look of your pictures, please?
Me: Sure! We had been to many beautiful cities in China and took a lot of beautiful pictures!
I handed in a handmate photo album, which was a birthday gift for my hubby’s last birthday, and introduced to the VO: this is what I made for my husband’s birthday last year.
He read the words on the b-day photo album for a while, then I gave him another 4 photo albums. he stopped at a picture, I told him: that is fairyland Guilin. We took a hiking by the Li river. Fantastic scenery, isn’t it? VO nodded and smiled. And then he stopped at a picture where we drawn our hands and wrote our love anounment on the note book, I introduced : that is our marriage vow written on a notebook at a cafe of yangshuo. We were engaged in that cafe. VO smiled again. He turned all the pages of the albums roughly and quickly , then returned to me.
I waved my husband’s passport , said: my husband is waiting for me downstairs right now.do you want to have a check of his passport? VO waved his head. I asked：“how about his driving license? I have it here as well.” He waved his head again, and said：“No,thanks!”
VO checked the documents for a while, then asked :“what do you do for a living?”
Me：“I am a secretary in a trading company”, I stoped for a while and added“it is actually an American company, my boss is from Portland, US. ”
VO nodded and asked：“what is your education level?”
Me：“I hold a colleage degree.”
Vo then asked in Chinese:“ is it a bachole degree or post-graduate degree？”
Me replied in English still：“It is a 3 year college degree.”
VO nodded again,asked:“can I have your passport,please?”
I gave him my passport, he checked on the computer and asked：“ did you apply for a non-immigrant visa before?”
Me：“yes, I applied for a visitor visa to see my parent-in-law in the US last June, but they told me to apply for an immigrant visa instead. That is why I am here now. ”
VO nodded, said“I see. ”then he took out a read slip from the drawer and stapled it with my appointment letter, he asked before he gave me the red slip: by the way, your husband is working in the US,right?
Me: Sure. He is working for a company called K12 in Herndon ,Virginia.
VO then gave me the red slip and said: You are approved.
Me: Thank you.
VO: have a nice day!
Me: Thank you. The same to you.

*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.
