Embassy Review : |
Writing this on behalf of my husband. His interview was at 8:30 am and he got there around 7:50 am. He brought his stuff in a plastic bag, because we thought you couldn't have larger bags in there, but apparently loads of people had purses/rucksacks, etc. Also he said there were loads of pens available, so I don't know why everyone always said "bring a pen." The only stressful part was the waiting (about 2.5 hours). He was done by about 11:00.
Said they only asked a few questions like how we met, how long we've been married, what I did at my job, and when I started it. He said it was all pleasant and conversational and didn't feel like they were trying to "trap" him or something. He brought only the required documents from the interview letter. The only outside evidence he brought was some wedding and older photos. He didn't need it. So unless you have a very special case or have had a rough ride along the processing journey, don't listen too much into the whole "needing binders full of evidence and loads of copies of your original submitted docs." They had everything we submitted and didn't ask for anything else. Seems like it all went well.
Oh, there is only one bathroom, so make sure you go before you get there! |

*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.
