| Embassy Review : |
Our experience was very similar to those who posted here in the past about the Bucharest consulate. Not long after everybody was passed through security and directed to sit, people were called to different windows for fingerprints, to submit paperwork, and give oaths of truthfulness. Following the prelimaries, my wife was called to window 6 for her interview, but she had just walked away to use the restroom; so, I went to the window for her. The interviewer was a man, but not "Mr. Smiley Boy" that other people mention here. Before my wife's return, he asked me a few question which I don't believe were part of the process, but more to just kill time. He asked how long I'd been in Romania, and I told him, and then let him know it was my 8th visit to the country. He asked if I came all eight times to visit my wife and I said yes. After a few other pleasant exchanges, my wife returned and the real interview began.
Questions that we remember:
- Does her mother like me?
- Does her family know me?
- When and how did we meet?
- Who approached whom first?
- Does she know my family members?
- What is the name of my father's 2nd cousin's veterinarian's daughter's high school?
(Okay, just joking about that last one).
He then approved us and told us to wait another 30 minutes, then they would give her the visa. About an hour later, she received her visa and the brown, sealed envelope.
Note: If you are easily chilled, wear something warm, even in summer. My wife was very cold in the American-style air-conditioning. |

*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.
