| Embassy Review : |
I got there 8am (my appointment was 9:30am) there were about 20 people in line at the gate...
when I get the door a Japanese lady checking names on the list...but I WAS NOT THERE...she wrote my name on the paper and gave me the checklist and got the security check...
Entered the room there were about 50 or more people waiting for immigration visas. (the Notice says from June 24 to September 1 is the high season for visa)
I got the number from the machine and waited. After 30min later they called my number. I went to the counter #6 and a Japanese lady checked my documents (just gave her 2 passport photos and a Passport and medical results) then she said take a seat...
After 10min later they called my name and I went to the counter #1. A Japanese lady explained to me why I was not on the list*. then she said take a seat.
*They have moved up my interview from June 28 to June 21 when I requested it to the embassy by email...BUT the email I got from them says June 28 so they made mistake...but it was no problem having an interview today that the lady said...
About 10min later called my number again then I went to the counter #3. An American lady took my fingerprints for both hands then she said take a seat...
After 30min later called my number again then I went to the counter #10. The Officer was an American guy...very friendly...He asked me to sign the DS-230II then started asking questions...
-What language do you use to communicate with your husband?
then he start questioning in English...
-When did you meet your husband?
-How did you meet him?
-When did you meet him in person?
-Where did you meet him?
-How often do you see each other since the relationship began?
-Did he meet your parents?
-Did you meet his parents?
-Why not?
-When did you get married?
-Where did you get married?
-Did you have a ceremony?
-Has he been married before?
-Have you been married before?
-Does he have any children?
-Do you have any children?
-Have you lived together before?
-How long was the longest stay in the US since you met him?
-When was it?
-When you stayed in the US 3 month, Did you stay with him?
-Have you ever lived abroad?
-Before you met him, How long was the longest stay in the US?
-What part of Hawaii does he live?
-Is there a house or an apartment?
-How many rooms are there?
-Does he owns there or rent?
-How much does he pay for rent?
-What does he do for a living?
-Do you work now?
-Why not?
then he said "Congratulations! Your visa is approved. You will receive your visa in about 1 week." IN JAPANESE...so I asked him "please can you say it in English again?" (because I wanted hear it in English so bad) then He said "Congratulations! Your visa is approved" with a big smile on his face...
at 10am I left the Embassy...
He asked me more questions than I expected but it was very easy...
and he did not ask for any evidence at all. |

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.
