Interview date 1-11-11 12:30
She got there and had her finger prints taken. Showed Packet 4 and was given an interview time the following day at 7:30. She waited 3 hours for her turn, then interviewed for 8-10 minutes. Received the Blue form with the checked box RFE. VO didn\\\'t offer any other instructions on the form, but told her everything was fine, we need more photos together. Wouldn\\\'t consider pictures of us with her family only pictures of the two of us. We had two pictures of just the two of us taken at her sisters apartment. Also we had more photos of us with her parents, brother and sister, cousin, aunts and uncles, but she was told they could only use pictures of us together. She was told to wait for three months. We have no other pictures of us together. I\\\'m not sure what to do now. I didn\\\'t find VJ until after I returned from my last trip to China, actual not until after the I-129 was sent to the NVC. I don\\\'t find much fault with the Consulate, I should have taken more pictures of us together.
Synopsis for her of the interview:
My interview :
1. What\'s your (fiance's) name ?
Answer: My name
2. Wha\'s your (my) occupation and your (my) company\'s name ?
Answer : I showed your name card to you and also say to you .
3. When did you meet your fiance?
Answer: His meaning : we met each other\'s time : I told him we met each other at 2008.5.2 Shanghai Pudong airport . You took American northwestern line.
After we met again at 2010 3.19 Shanghai pudong again.
4. Are you single and me ?
Answer: yes ,we are all single .. I am sure .
5. When is your fiance\'s birthday?
Answer: 1963.4.7 (I spoke English )
6. Are you CPP?
Answer: No.
7 Did you have more pictures about your finace and you ?
Answer : Don\'t have .. more pictures my finace and me together but i have other pictures .. but he said to me .. dont need .. I also showed your mom\'s pictures and others.. He only shoot a glance at pictures..
Darling : Only these question ... He asked me about we met time twice: I answer him twice ,too..
Darling : He saw our information\'s time was same to ask me question\'s time .
Final: He said to me : Okay, your visa was no problem and you could go home to wait our mail ..but dont know how long ..
Outcome was a blue RFE. I contacted the Consulate via e-mail to see what else I might need to provide and they said just wait several months.

Took about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get from plane to meet fiancee. Asked similar questions as at the Consulate. Opened the "Do not open packet" , reviewed the contents including the Medical x-ray for the customs review. Took id pictures and finger prints. Customs agent was friendly, reminded thqat marriage must take place before 90 days from the POE date. |

*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.
