POE was POC (Piece of cake) No issues, no harassment. Must have been an FNG (F'n New Guy) because after seeing she was on a K-1 visa he asked her how long she was staying. :P "Oh right, immigrant visa). |

| Embassy Review : |
Anna said the interview was very easy and lasted all of about 5 minutes.
Questions were initially in Russian until the interviewer found that Anna had worked in the US, then she asked Anna if she spoke English, which she does, and switched to asking questions in English.
Questions were how many time she'd been to the US, how many times I'd been to Russia, how we met... Anna answered the last question as matter of fact "We met when I worked in Anchorage, Alaska". Then the interviewer turned to start typing something on the computer. Anna panicked a little and started running through our whole relationship from start and heading to finish, when she was cut off by the laughing interviewer, "I'm giving you the visa! Don't worry.  " Anna thought she was being declined for some reason. So no worries! She only showed a few pictures, didn't need to show our chats or phone records or cards or damn near anything. I guess the amount of evidence Anna was ready to present showed we weren't playing around and came prepared. 5 minutes in length and it was golden. |

*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.
