| Embassy Review : |
I arrived at 8:30 but my appointment was at 9:00am but i could not wait, so I ask for the window number 1. They told me to wait and they will call me. There was about 5 people including me for the interview.
They asked me at the window my full name and they gave me a green folder. I went thru the security check point and then to finger print. After that there was no line they told me to go to the waiting room. As soon I arrive to the waiting room . I read the instruction that are attached in the green folder. They ask you to put the papers in order. First all passports that you have and of course the one wich is valid , the Photos (2), marriage certificate , birth certificate , basically all that is on the list from the embassy. They ask you for original and copies.
When I was siting there with my fat folder, they called me , I was the second person called. A lady asked me for my passports, photos, and the DHL papers. Warning , it is very important to complete and print the DHL paper. Then she gave me all the papers that we had sent to USA and told me that they don't need them anymore; and all the copies and papers that I took for the interview - don't need them . She told me to wait and be patient.
About 20 minutes later , a young lady, called me for the interview, she gave me all original papers that we sent to NVC . Like acta de nacimiento y acta de matrimonio. She was very nice , she asked me some questions. "When did you meet Curtis? when was the last time in USA? and if I ever overstayed my tourist visa there? she asked if Curtis' mom came for the wedding? about Curtis' job?" and then she said the visa is approved. Then she explained to me something about a paper that I have to fill out. And that was all. May be 10 minutes total for the actual interview. At 10:05 I was out of the embassy. |

*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.
