| Embassy Review : |
We passed the paper check. All our documents were in order. The first gentleman complimented us on being so well prepared. The interview itself was conducted by a senior officer and a trainee, so they tag teamed us. They interviewed us together and then separated us when they saw I was prompting Salatiel some of the answers. They seemed to have a prepared list of questions, I wish we had it to practice ahead of time. How did you meet? How long have you known each other? How much time have you spent together? Where did you have dinner saturday night? What kind of bed did you sleep in? Why did you stay in a hotel instead of his father's house(cold water!duh)? Do you have a favorite song? He struggled with 'where does she work'? (computers. He didn't seem to remember that I work for the government/IRS) What is her son's name? He said 'John' instead of 'Shawn'. I explained that there is no 'SH' in spanish and when he tries to say Shawn it comes out sounding like John. I couldn't remember the name of the pizza place in Valle de Angeles. I think they allow for a certain amount of wrong answers. I did most of the paperwork, so I was more in tune to answers such as 'what is his father's name?' He wasn't as good on the details. I told them filling out all those forms made me more focused.
We knew he would face the ten year ban and need an I-601. We were hoping they would miss/overlook the 5 year ban, but not so. With two of them trying to outshine each other, they caught it. They seemed sympathetic, firm on the letter of the law. We made copies of all our documents such as birth certificates for them to keep, but they kept the originals and only gave back our passports. Our lawyer said that is a good sign they are keeping our case open. I gave them a 4, cause they were just doing their job, they couldn't help our circumstances. |

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.
