| Embassy Review : |
Today was our interview @ 8:30am. We stayed with my sister in Portmore, so we wouldn't have to travel far. My sister drove with us to show where the Embassy was located. We arrived there just a little after 8 am along with his son and joined the line (thank goodness we did not have to stand in that hot sun). Our number was A145. It took maybe an hour to get our number called. Presented the lady with our documents and we had only paid one visa fee and was allowed to pay the other visa fee at the embassy. NCB bank tief. The local rate for visa fee is $31,500 which equals to $90 to $1 US. NCB bank only gives you $83 to $1. Thank God I was able to pay the US at the embassy and not local rate. Forwarding forward. Most people got blue slipped for not having up to date police records or missing the sponsors citizenship status and filling out the wrong Sponsor form. After 12 pm our number was called and we were third or fourth to last to be called. They asked my fiance:
When we met?
Where did we meet?
How many times I have visited and for how long?
Where did I live?
Where did I work?
What kind of work did I do?
Did I have kids?
What was her name?
When did we get engaged?
Why you want to get married there and not here in Jamaica?
Possibly some other questions, but I can't remember now. I was listening to some of the answers so I had a clue to what he was asking him because I would drill him on those same questions. He asked me to come up and pretty much asked me the same questions and ask for the money gram receipts and the phone records. I had tons of pics and he didn't ask for any. After that he told me to go sit down and I saw him shuffling through some papers and was hoping that he didn't pull out a blue-slip. Few moments later he asked my fiance for his passport and told him to go to window 26 to pay for DHL and that his visa will be in the passport. I have never been more nervous in my life, but fiance claimed he was cool, lol. DHL says it will take 4-5 days, but we will see on that. Hopefully he will be here in two weeks time. |

*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.
