Embassy Review : |
My husband and I attended our interview on July 19th 2012. My husband is the beneficiary and I am the petitioner. We got to the embassy in Barbados at 7:15AM for our 7:30AM appointment. My husband and I waited in a line outside the embassy to be checked in and a thorough check of your bags, etc was done. We then made our way into the main room where we waited for our name to be called. After about a 2 or 3 hour wait, our name was called and a lady did a pre-screening type of interview, where a couple questions like, name of beneficiary, name of person petitioning and beneficiary's mother's name was asked. Most of the questions were directed to my husband... the beneficiary and finger printing was also done at this stage.
We were told to have a seat and we waited for about 2 hours more. Our name was finally called by another lady who proceeded with the interview. She asked us how we met, how long ago we were other, if he has ever met my mother, if we have any children together, questions about taxes and what type of work we both do and how often I visited my husband in Barbados. I brought a lot of documents but none of them were looked at. I believe this is so because I loaded our application from the beginning with a lot of pictures, phone bills, affidavits, receipts, etc. She was very nice and we were approved! She wished us a happy life together and it was a very pleasant experience. After we were approved she directed us to visit the DHL area to pay $10US dollars and my husband's passport should be posted in 5 business days.
We are extremely happy. I will advise individuals going to this consulate to prepare themselves for a long wait at the embassy. We were there from 7:30AM to a little after 12:30 noon.
The staff in general are very pleasant and approachable. |

*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.
