| Embassy Review : |
Most terrifying day of my entire life! Lets start off like that.
I was denied 2 tourist visas before, so my experience in the consulate was traumatic to say the least. This time, I was even more nervous, due to the situation. I had my wedding reception scheduled in Brazil for the 1st of may, and my tickets to come to America were already bought for may 4th. So, that interview was everything at that moment, and it was on april 14th.
Got at the consulate very early in the morning and went to the second floor, where the immigrant visas are proceeded. There were about 15 fiances/spouses already waiting on their interview. I was the LAST one to be called. Waited on those chairs for about two hours (can you imagine it?). When it was finally my time, it didn't even take 5 minutes talking to the consul. It was a mid-age Chinese looking consul, very charismatic. He said good morning, which was a surprise (on my interviews for the tourist visas the consul barely looked at my face...). He asked me to raise my right hand and say an oath, then he asked a few questions: how did me and my husband met, when, if he ever went to Brazil, if I ever came to America, if we spoke in english or portuguese, how did we get engaged, how long have we been in a relationship. And that was it. He didn't ask to look at any of my relationship evidences (I had soooooooo many paper sheet of facebook/skype/whatsapp conversations, emails, letters, photos...). He said my visa was approved and I started crying. He smiled, and said "the time to cry is over, now it's time to be happy! have a wonderful marriage".
So... even though it was the most terrifying day of my life, it was also one of the best ones!  |

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.
