Event Description
Review Date : May 11, 2011
Embassy Review : My interview was in the morning of 10th, 7:30am. I planed to go there and line up at 7am, because there are too many people waiting. But Mrs Yo told me do not need to go that early, just need to be there at 7:30am, because our interview were planned in advance, I mean the sequences. we got our number on the 9th, my number is 1111, I like this number very much, do not know why, maybe I felt it would bring me good luck. I waited a long time, finally it was my turn, I wished I would not be that nervous, and do my best. I went to the 23rd window, that mean should be an American, with white skin, I said hello to him, and he asked me to give him my passport, I gave it to him, he looked at them and asked those questions:
1, your husband’s name?
2, his work?
3, what family members does he have?
4, how did you meet each other?
5, how do you communicate?
6,when did you get marry?
7,how many times did he come to China?
8,can he speak chinese? When did he start to learn it?
9, can you speak english? (he asked this in english.)
10, when did you learn english? (also in english)
11, did he married before?
12, why did he divorce?
13, what did your family think about him when they see him?
14, are you a member of the communist party of China? Have you ever been to America?
After those questions, he looked at our photos, and sometimes ask who is in the photos. I feel I answered those questions ok, I just kept smile, and answered all the questions very politely. After that, another American man came over and sited down beside him, and they talked some, I could not hear what they talked, he opened my paper works, I saw a blue paper, and my name was on that paper, I was very nervous. But he stamped on the blue paper, then get another pink paper, when I saw this color, I was not that nervous. He put the pink paper and my interview notice together and gave them to me, and then told me I passed. Wow, I was soooo happy at that time, I showed my appreciation to him, he nodded to me and smiled to me. I was really happy about this. then I went to wrote my address on the mail place, and then got my telephone. The first thing I did was text you and share this good news with you. I know you were worrying, so I want to let you know this news firstly, you must be very happy too. I think we are still very lucky, of course, you were very thoughtful too, you prepared so much paper works for it. So you are very great. After that, I asked others, they told me before the interview, they planned to give me the blue paper, but after the interview, they gave me the red paper.(PINK) They stamped on the blue paper because they canceled that, I do not know whether this is true, but I still feel happy.
(I rate it a 4 because of them switching from blue to pink. She told me the whole interview was only 5 minutes.
Rating : Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
