Finally got the interview. 2 months after the NOA2. :( Well our interview WAS on Nov 14th. However I contacted my Senator to start a dialogue with the consulate about the possibility of rescheduling a couple days later and they automatically moved the date to January 14th stating they contacted my Fiancee and got her approval. They flat out lied to my face about that.
12-7-09 THEN in a desperate plea to the consulate, I emailed them telling them how agonizing this was and if we could get an earlier date. They emailed back and said no. However, two hours later they emailed back, we have contacted your fiancee and her interview is TOMORROW. WOOHOO. Oh god, is everything ready!??? |

| Embassy Review : |
Our interview was on November 12th originally. One week before, we were having troubles with scheduling and I emailed the consulate to ask what the possibilities are of rescheduling. They replied to my fiancee that the next available date was January 14th, 2009. This was horrible for us. Having to push it back by two months. However, on Sunday December 6th, I sent an email to the consulate again asking if there was any openings for earlier interviews. The next morning they replied no, there was nothing they could do. Two hours after that email they called my fiancee and said, "Can you come tomorrow? Are you ready?" She eagerly replied yes.
The very next day she went bright and early to the consulate. Got it in, payed the fee and waited 2 hours. Was called once to hand over the data our lawyer had filled out for us and was called again for the actual interview.
The first question asked when they sat down was,
"Tell me about the overstay."
For reasons known to all involved parties, my gal overstayed her student visa.
The interviewer then proceeded to tell her it makes her ineligible to receive a visa and they discussed the situation further. She explained what happened.
We had a mountain of evidence. Packets prepared by lawyers. Senators on hand email the consulate when I asked. We had everything. He glanced over a couple of pictures and said tell me about him. They had a very casual conversation about the relationship and he let my fiancee just tell our story.
The interview itself took 20 min. He told her he needed a few days to check with homeland security and that he would call her in a couple of days. Our interview was on Tuesday and he called her to pick up the visa on Thursday.
She was busy and could not get the visa Thursday, so she is going to pick it up on Friday (tomorrow if you read this soon enough).
Overall the consulate responded whenever I emailed but did not answer the phone once when I called during the listed times to call. Our interviewer was an American man. My gal made the observation that all the women in CASA got the visa while the men were not so lucky. |

*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.
