I'm writing this on behalf of my other half.
His experience was not much different than most. He stressed about what documents to take, and what questions they would ask, how he should dress and so forth - but the interivew itself was short and sweet.
The waiting was definitely the worst part of it.
First window, nice lady, asked to see his paperwork (he took duplicates of everything we sent to NVC, plus additional paycheck stubs from me, and a copy of the biometrics page of my passport). She asked him a couple of questions, retrieved his medical, and told him to go to the next window when called.
Next window - lady looked over the paperwork, and asked 3 questions:
1) What industry do you plan on working in, in the U.S.?
2) Do you plan on living at your wife's residence? (Honestly, who would answer "no" to that?
3) How long has your wife been at her job? (FYI - he got this answer WRONG)
She said, "I'm going to go ahead and approve this"
He paid for the courier and that was it.
Ultimately, the only thing he did wrong, was send me a text message when it was over, rather than calling me and letting me "woo-hoo!" in his ear afterwards.
I'm going to give it an overall of a 4 - and only that, because of the wait time - according to him, everything else was pleasant. |

Well, two international flights landed at the same time. Hubby's was first, however being first at customs didn't help. Got into the US Citizens/Perm Residents line, was pulled aside and waited about an hour. When they finally got around to talking to hubby, the officer only asked a single question, "When were you married", his passport stamped and that was it, very simple, no harassment. |

*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.
