Embassy Review : |
I can definitely say that the interview I had in Bucharest was the easiest part of the whole visa process! The people working there were very nice and kind to me. My interview was scheduled for 1 pm. I was the first one who got inside the embassy. By 1.10 pm there were already 16 persons inside, all for different types of visas. I was the youngest and the only one who spoke English out there. One by one, we were called to a certain counter. I was called for 4 times: 1) to present the forms: 2 of DS-156, DS-156K and I-134; his taxes for 2008; my birth certificate (the original and the photocopy); my police report (the original and the photocopy); my medical results and the proves of the relationship. I signed and dated the forms right on the counter; 2) to have my finger printing (the lady was very nice); 3) to pay the visa fee ($ 131); 4) to actually have the interview, which lasted for maximum 1 minute. It was more a pleasant conversation than an interview! I was only asked what date I came back to Moldova last year, being on a J1 visa in the USA and how my fiancé and I have met. Those were the easiest questions ever!
In about an hour and a half I was out the embassy with the visa in hands and a huge smile on my face! It was a great experience!

*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.
