| Embassy Review : |
My interview was a breeze! I was at the embassy at around 7:30am for my 8:30am appointment. Got inside, was given a number and then called for finger scanning (waiting time: 15mins)..
Called for the pre-screening. The Filipina lady was nice, after signing the DS230, she asked me a few basic questions like:
- Who is your petitioner/name
- When did you meet and where
- Do you have children/does your husband have children
- Is this your first marriage/is this your husband's first marriage
- Evidence of continuous communication
- Have you been abroad (then asked for my foreign police clearance)
- Asked for some photos ( gave her around 30, including wedding photos)
Pre-screening lasted around 10 minutes.
After 30 mins, I was face to face with the CO. Greeted him. I felt really at ease. He was never intimidating at all. After taking the oath, the questions he asked were:
- My date of birth
- Have I been abroad, and what I liked about that country
- How did my husband and I meet
then he browsed at our pictures and made a few nice comments, and asked where my husband is currently stationed at. After that, he said the magic words "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!". I could never be happier! Then I asked him if I can pick up my visa. He said ok, that can be done. Did not bother to ask why. So I thanked him again and left the room. It lasted barely 5 minutes!
Finally, after another 10 mins, my name was called at window 18, the lady handed me back my photographs, and gave me a RED-VIOLET stub for visa pick up.
One thing I noticed inside the IV section: I was disappointed to see that some people who went for their interviews did not even bother to dress up appropriately. Some are wearing flip flops and tank tops! Well, there's no dress code anyway...it's just my observation. |

| Embassy Review : |
entry was actually fine... no problem with the lady immigration officer, she just asked a few questions. only problem was, i came in at the same time with groups of vietnamese and chinese new immigrants. there were like 60 of them! and i got stuck at the new immigrant processing area for more than an hour, waiting for them to finish. the problem is, there was only one officer doing the finger printing and all. but generally, the process was not bad at all. |

*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.
