Average experience prior to the interview, processed paperwork, everything checked out fine, pretty much like all the other reviews. We were near the end of interviews, saw most people leaving the interview with smiles. Very nerve racking experience for everyone, I would rate this as one of the more stressfull experiences in my life!
I would say for me it was very important to be here with my fiance, and I'm lucky I could be there with her. I can imagine the stress upon a person alone, I give all the people who have done this alone very high respect.
The interview was like a bad dream, as soon as we walked in she started barking at my fiance for the number (ticket they give you), really putting us both in shock! Then the biometrics she was visibly agitated the way my fiance was putting her fingers on the screen, then immediately started in on the questions...
Most of the questions had to do with a tourist visa we applied for in Recife about a year previous, we asked for 3 months and were denied. She asked how many times she applied for a tourist visa, twice? Fiance: "no, only 1 time"... Then again, You applied twice before, yes? Fiance: "No, only once...."
Then why so much time, etc. Then in the middle of questions, a question not related to the tourist visa, then back to the tourist visa questions.
My portuguese is so/so, as I was comprehending one question, she would already be asking another. NOSSA!! My fiance did amazing, held her poise and answered the questions quickly and directly. Then I heard the words "sua vista aprovado"! Muito bom
I was in shock, wish smiles on our faces.
Just be prepared for anything |

*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.
