| Embassy Review : |
A few notes to people with interviews at the Tokyo Embassy.
1. Appointment time doesn't matter, you grab a number when you go in and they don't check your time at all. We got there a little after 9:00 for our 10:00 "appointment" and finished before 11:00.
2. I needed a co-sponsor, but didn't need the I-134 for myself. Just my co-sponsor was enough.
3. It doesn't really matter if your fiance(e) comes with you. It might be nice to help ease nerves, but every window we went to (3), the people were kind and helpful and tried to make things as easy as possible.
4. The checklist on the website that is sent in the packet from the embassy is missing a couple things, but they will kindly make you an extra copy if you need it or give you a form to fill out if you didn't bring it.
5. You can't use electronics inside, so if you want to be less bored while waiting I suggest starting a line outside before the embassy opens.
6. If you are missing a piece of evidence, they will just give you a sheet of paper with what you have to send them (by mail is fine) and as soon as they get it, they will send back the passport with the visa inside!
That's all! We were approved after a really easy interview. |

*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.
