| Embassy Review : |
My fiance's experience was the same as all the other reviews posted here. We're so glad to have this forum as it eased our minds beforehand. The interview was scheduled for 8am and he was done in less than an hour. This is second-hand, so I didn't comment on every step.
The interviewer asked how we met, (online, playing WoW - Interviewer commented on how popular that was), about what I did for work in the US, my kids (he flipped to the petition to verify that my fiance answered correctly). He asked about my fiance's trip to the US and my family. My fiance mentioned meeting my kids and my brother. I think that was pretty much it. Like everyone else in this forum, my fiance had a good experience for his interview. Short & Sweet. I think we provided plenty of evidence of relationship with petition so they didn't ask for more. My fiance noted the "Approved" stamp on the folder and that it had all the petition stuff in it. I don't know if that means the Visa was already approved or if it means the Petition is approved. Either way, you can say it puts you at ease.
Tip: Don't bring alot of tech gadgets. You have to check everything in at security and they have to inspect everything you bring.

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.
