My interview and exam was pretty easy and quick. Upon arrival and dropping my appointment letter in the mailbox/slot, i got called in within 5 minutes. Went inside and lasted for like 10 minutes only. So thankful. I just brought whatever they stated on the appointment letter and the copy of my N-400 application just in case. The officer only asked for my ID, Green Card and Passport. Then he started asking about the information I have on my N-400 application, then ask how i met my husband. Then he made me read a sentence and write a sentence, which if i remember was "California has the most people." After that, he asked me the civic questions, and I answered all six correctly and he stop. Then he said " Very Good!" You passed the exam and the interview!" and I was like really? LOL. Then he just gave me instructions re: Oath Ceremony and that my son will be automatically be a citizen and just need to apply for Certificate of Citizenship. All in all, it was a very good experience. Just stay calm and be confident. |

| Embassy Review : |
Yesterday, which was also my birthday, was our interview at the US Embassy. We arrived like six o clock in the morning and our appointment time was seven am. Having Charles with us, makes me more calm. SO we lined up with the rest of the K1 applicants until we got inside. Our number was 7014. What makes me nervous was waiting for our number to be flashed on the screen. Like hoping it's our turn and worrying it's not gonna flashed at all...
Everyone I encountered in the embassy were all actually nice. They did not make me feel like we're not gonna be approved. The prescreener was a Filipina, she is kind and approachable and even greeted me happy birthday. The black guy who do the finger scanning is kind and cool too. When he asked about my number which I forgot at the envelope I left with Charles simply asked if I remember my number by heart and of course I said yes, it's 7014. Then asked my name, etc and then my birthday, which was yesterday too and he said "Happy birthday and it's good you have your interview date on your birthday", where I replied " I feel lucky today". Then he smiled and joke where's the cake. Told him, we're having it later with ice cream too and he's invited!=) Then he smiled again and said " Goodluck".
Lastly, we waited for the final interview with the Consul. And when it was our turn, David was about to throw tantrums and crabby and I was about to freak out. I was like, this is the last step, for God's sake! Good thing before we went inside, David started to behave. The Consul did not asked a lot actually. These are the questions he just gave us:
What is your full name?
Have you been out of the country or work abroad?
How did we meet?
When was our first meeting?
How many times Charles visited?
How old is David?
If Charles has been married before?
Then when he asked about my birthday, I said it's today. Then he also greeted me "Happy Birthday". Then told him we're having cake and ice cream later and if he wants some, he said he wants to have ice cream cake. =) Then he said we're approved and congratulations! I said thank you and it's gonna be a double celebration for us!=) |

*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.
