| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at MLC center by train at 8am ready for the 9am appointment. Went through security with no problems and was directed to take the lift by guards to the 59th floor for my interview. Went through more security on that floor before entering and took my ticket. Waited around 30mins for my first interview which went smoothly. Since all payments, fees and documents were done through NVC here in the States, I only had to provide my medical papers, passport and 3kg express envelope. After that, I waited around 10mins and was called up again where I was told everything was approved and an interview would soon follow. Sat down again and was called for the interview. I was asked by the lady how my wife and I met, how many times had I been to the US, how many times she came to Australia, what I planned on doing for a job in the US, where my wife was born and finally, to produce some photos of the two of us together. I produced our wedding photos and after some light chatting, she approved me for the visa. The staff were nice and helpful and the whole process was over without any drama. As long as your organised and bring everything they've asked for you shouldn't have any dramas. |

*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.
