| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at 7:30 for our 8:30 interview.
We were let inside at 8:00.
We emptied the contents of our pockets into baskets and went through metal detectors. We didn't have any electronics with us so we didn't have to leave anything with the staff. The staff was extremely polite and the experience was very easy.
We were greeted by someone at the front desk. She gave us a folder with instructions specifying what order to put our documents.
We went in and got a number (#001). When called we gave the packet.
I definitely overdid my I-134 docs since it felt more like I was trying to support 10 people!! (50+ paystubs, tax transcripts for 4 years,etc)
About 10 minutes later, we were called again and my fiancee had to give fingerprints. Then they gave a bulk of my I-134 docs back.
About 30 minutes later, we were called again and we had the interview. I knew I wasn't allowed to do the interview with her but I went up anyway. The CO told me to go back and he would call me if he had any questions.
He asked her the following:
What's your fiance's name?
How and when did you two meet?
Does he have any siblings?
What is his job and where does he work.
Then he called me up and asked me about my work. He asked when will we get married and I answered.
He had commented that since I visited Japan 10 times I probably spoke better Japanese than he does! :lol:
Then he said "Congratulations, your visa is approved." It took me a couple seconds to understand what that really meant but after that I had a giant smile!! :energy:
We left the Embassy about 9:30am. Overall a very straightforward and easy experience! We got the visa two days after our interview!

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.
