July 10, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
She kept asking my fiancee that we look like we prepare for the interview because of all the evidence and how well it was prepared ( good job baby!). I guess since we had very short time we know each other before I propose ( about a month) and we know each other only 9 months.
She had a 8:30am appointment and she arrived early at 6:40. She was let in after only a few minutes and did not have to wait outside. She gave embassy staff at window 5 at 7 am, her documents and evidence, but they did not take her chat logs ( big folder they told her to give later). Then she sat and waited. So had to wait until 8:30, then they started calling people, she was third. The first person had interview lasting 20 min and got the visa. The second person was only 8 min and not sure if she got visa. Then it was my fiancee turn.
They took her fingerprints and started the interview:
1. How did you meet your fiancee? ==> We met online
2. What website did you meet on? ==> Match.com.th
3. When did you meet online? ==> October 2008
4. When did he come to visit? ==> I visited in early Nov. 2008
5. Did he come visit again? ==> I visit again in April, 2009
6. How long he stay first visit? ==> 4 weeks
7. When did u get engaged? ==> Nov. 29th, 2008
Interviewer commented it was very fast, and she cannot understand. My fiancee explained how much time we spent together online before my trip and while I was there. She seemed to accept this.
8. Did your fiancee marry before? ==> Never married
9. Have you ever been married? ==> Never married
She started looked through the evidence ( which I should say my fiancee had created a very detailed and orderly set of documentation, reciepts taped onto pages of a bound set of pages of printed emails)
10. Does your fiancee work in Thailand? ==> I worked at branch of my company but only for a visit.
11. You have a lot of receipts! Look like you prepare for doing the visa? ==> My fiancee told her that her fiancee is an engineer and likes to have many details and doesn't throw away anything
My fiancee had photo of flowers I had sent her and:
12. Why you take photo of flowers? ==> My fiancee wanted to see the flowers he sent me.
13. When do you plan to get married? ==> After a month in the U.S.
14. Are you excited to get married? ==> Yes!! Very Excited. Interviewer smiled at this.
Interviewer gave documents back and told her to come back to get visa on July 14th!
She finished around 9:05 am.
Overall a good 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.
