There was a bit of a delay but not too much; we waited about a half hour beyond our interview time but the whole experience was swift and painless.
He asked for our IDs, asked us questions about each other (Where we work, how we met, etc). Nothing a legitimate couple would be unprepared for.
We volunteered our photo album and wedding photos and he asked me (the beneficiary) to name people in the group photos.
After asking some standard questions (that are present in the application for the ESTA) like: Have you ever been arrested, etc.
Overall a pleasant experience, but we were under the impression from our biometric appointment that cellphones would not be allowed, and so we kept ours at home - we don't drive, and rely on Uber to get around, so we had to call from the office to have a friend request an Uber ride on our behalf.
When we got there though they had changed their policy so that cellphones were in fact allowed but had to be switched off. Disappointing, but we were prepared for it. |

*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.
