Was directed to a communal waiting room for further investigation with my daughter and waited around 30 minutes. After this time a very nice officer called us to his desk, asked why we were there, congratulated us and wished us well!! |

| Embassy Review : |
Well, it did not go as smoothly as I hoped.
I'll get straight to the actual interview, everything else was very fast and efficient.
I was literally grilled with approximately 30 questions regarding our relationship. It started with the usual, 'how did you meet' and was everything else including quizzing me on my knowledge of the time difference between here and NC 'so, what day do you typically call him? What time is that? And so what time is that for him?', his parents names, addresses, siblings personal details, his work details, dates of each visit, and so on. Fortunately I could answer all of the questions easily but she was very thorough to put it politely, probably because she was training someone. Then I got even more questions regarding child custody.
She has filled out the dreaded blue form before I had even arrived at the desk and wanted a notarised affadavit for child custody. i had provided a statement from the courts here to prove I have sole parental custody and a letter explaining it all in detail from a lawyer. She was a total jobs-worth and wanted a sworn statement too. So once I have got this back to her, we should get our visas within 5 business days of her receiving it.
All in all, quite a disappointing, upsetting and (even more than I expected) expensive day because I didn't get approved right away. I did arrive at 7.30am for my 9am appointment, and left the embassy at 9am, so they were very efficient and everyone bar the officer was very friendly. |

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.
