Our Interview questions were (The officer pointed at me and asked) Who is she? How did u meet? was it arrange marriage or luv? What makes u think she is a good match? Why did u marry an educated girl not a village girl? What other countries u have been to? Why u didnt marry some one in India?(as my husband's maternal relatives are in india and he had visited them) Would u go for 2 marraige,what abt 3rd,okay what abt 4th? Whats ur education? Where do u work? Thats all they asked him.They didnt ask to see any docs,or pics probably bcoz I was ther with him.....But make sure to take them... Best of Luck Rating : Moderate

*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.
