| Embassy Review : |
OMG !!! Visa APPROVED !!! :dance:
Wow my knees are still shaking. We are so excited! Everything went nice and organized. My hubby went with me, but they didn't asked him anything.
-We got there about 6:30am (we didn't wanted to miss the "breakfast included" from the hotel)
-Line # 2, you get a green sticker for Immigrant visa applicants.
-Embassy opens gate at 7 am
-We went straight to 40 window, they give u a green folder where u organize your documents:
-
-Marriage, Birth, Baptismal,and Police Certificate, 2 pictures 5"x5", DS230, Financial evidence (AOS, 3 most recent years tax returns), your passport.
-About 8:45 they called me to a window to check my docs. (Pay attention to 4 , 29 to 32 windows)
-9:45 fingerprints
-11:00 Interview, a very sweet and nice CO smiling, just 3 questions and she said the magic words "your visa has been approved"  OMG !
-I just turned and kissed and hugged my hubby, he didn't get it right away, he was so surpised. Because other people were taking about 20 minutes per interview.
- then we went to pay Domesa, and that was it !
The order that you are called is aleatory, some people were fingerprinted after me, and they were interviwed first, so be patient.
Good luck for everyone, be organized and prepared and everything goes good. Just submit what they ask you but keep and bring with you copies of everything you submited to NVC. Bring a lot of proof of relationship, better safe than sorry.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
