We are filing from Italy where I am stationed at Aviano AB. First time I sent the package on 16 March...got it back on 29 March due to wrong payment amount.
We didn't get a biometrics because we sent in the fingerprint card from overseas. No interview, just received the green card in the mail. |

Ok, Mhay gave me all the information about her interview. Here is her timeline for the day:
5:30 am at the line
6:00 am open the gate
STEP 1: Submit appointment letter, DS-230,2pcs 2x2pic.and they will give u number.(6:30am)
STEP 2: Pre-Screening (7:00am)
STEP 3: Finger Scanning (7:35am)
STEP 4: Consular Interview(8:00am)
STEP 5: They will call your number to where you can get your pink stub and the paper you need to fill up for the delivery of your visa.(address)(8:07am)
STEP 6: payment AIR21 ( 8:10am)
Here are the questions that they asked her during the prescreening and interview with the consular officer:
Q&A at the pre-screener:
1. Who is your petitioner?
2. How old are you?
3. What is the name of your petitioner?
4. Address of your petitioner?
5. Job of your petitioner?
6. Where did u meet?
7. When did u meet him? and how?
8. When did the relationship start?
9. Your petitioner has a kid? Does the kid live w/him?
10. First time u get married?
11. How many times does your partner get married?
12. When was the last time you see your husband?
13. When he visited here, how long did he stay?
14. Do you have any pictures, remittance or cards with you? Give me at least 5pcs of cards.
Consular interview
1. Who will petition you?
2. How long have you been married?
3. Where does your husband live now?
4. Where and when did you meet your husband?
5. Where in US will you live?
6. What is your husband's job?
7. When is the last time you saw him personally?
8. Who are the kids in your wedding pictures?? Name them.
"Your visa is approved, go to waiting area and wait for your number to be called." I smiled and say THANK YOU MA'AM...then after 2mins they call my number to go to window 37 to get the pink stub and told me to pay at AIR 21..
Then they said after you pay, you can go.
Mhay said that her consular interviewer was very soft spoken...hard to hear. They started the interview in english and the interviewer thought that she couldnt understand the english, so she brought in an interpreter. She did mention that one of the other consular officers in the next room over was quite loud too, so it made it even harder to hear her consular officer, but everything turned out good. Now we just wait for the visa. I checked the air21 site to see if her tracking number was loaded yet, and of course it isnt. I figure it will be a day or 2 before it is loaded. It looks like I will be buying her ticket for her to fly on the 8th of May, so we have about 3 weeks until we are together again! Thanks for all the support and help. Mhay wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers too.

*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.
