Got to the Consulate around 6. wanted the A...LOL We were there about 10 minute before anyone else showed up. Was cold by 7:30 I couldn\'t feel my toes. Guard opened the doors at about 7:35, wanted passports and interview letters, checked them and told us to go in. Told to empty our pockets into a tray then given another for our coats. Once everything was cleared to take back we did so. Got our letter A. Told to got downstairs to waiting room, sat there for maybe 5 minutes. Taken upstairs in the elevator told to wait to be called up to the counter about 8. Once there we were asked for original documents and copies( we did EP). Asked to sit down for a few minutes until the woman came back for my finger prints. After finger prints done we were asked to have a seat in the waiting room and wait to be called into room 7 or 8.
Waited until 9:30 or so to be called into room 7. The room is quite small and we were 4, but we all fit. After putting our coats and stuff down we were swore in. Took my thumb print to make sure I am me.
Then we asked
When and how we met?
Where we live? both hubby and myself.
How often we see each other?
How far apart do we live from each other?
Hubby was asked about insurance.
Kids were asked if they liked NY.
The she said everything was in order and Welcome to the US.
Everyone there was super nice.

Decided to do POE today to save time next weekend when my dad is helping us move. So got to bridge about 9 am today, got to booth and told Officer we need to activate our visas. He was very nice and told us we had to go inside and made sure I have the Do Not Open envelopes, which I had in my lap. He said be sure to take those inside, then told us to pull ahead to the officer there and he'd tell us where to park and go. Once parked we went inside, sat for maybe 15 minutes before we got called to the counter. Once at the counter the Officer asked for packages(myself and my 2 kids), told us to go back and sit down. He did some paperwork before calling us up for fingerprints and signatures(He asked if I minded him doing the kids). Then we went back and sat down for a few minutes before he called us up again and gave us our passports back stamped. Explained what to show when crossing the border and that our actual cards would be sent to the address on our paperwork. Ask about moving my stuff next weekend and he said I won't have a problem as it's our personal belonging. We were out by 10, although didn't seem like we were in there for an hour.

*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.
