| Embassy Review : |
My fiance had her interview yesterday and she was approved.
After the I-129 paperwork made it to the Embassy, we had a few challenges because there were quite a few details left out of even the best guides. FYI.. Madrid will only communicate by Email, but they are good about responding quickly.
The Medical exam was the most difficult part to figure out. In Madrid, there is only one doctors office that can do the exam and the exam needs to done at least a week before your interview. My fiance had to fly to Madrid for the day and have the exam, then we picked up the medical packet on the day before the interview (about a week later. So expect to make two trips or if your timing is good you may be able to just stay in Madrid for a week, getting the exam one day and the interview a week later, but the Medical office will be working on Spanish time so you are not guaranteed when the papers will be done.
She did not have any of her childhood vaccination records, so she had to have a blood analysis for MMR and Chicken Pox antibodies plus a vaccine for Tetanus and another. The office was very good and they made it fairly easy but you may need access to doctors to get additional vaccinations depending on your availble records.
The actual interview could not have been easier. I was in Madrid with her, but I was not allowed in the embassy for the interview. We had to show the appointment letter to security (a local spanish company) and she went inside. She went to a window and gave them the medical paperwork then waited for a few minutes. She was called to a second window for the interview where they asked- "How did you meet?", "What job does he have?", "Have you met his family?", "How many children does he have?", "How many times has he been married?" and thats it. Even though we had a complete packet of pictures and plane tickets to prove the relationship, they did not ask to see it. In total it was about an hour.
Language and Translations- The interview can be done in English or Spanish, whichever you are most comfortable with. Most documents do not need to be translated if they are in English or Spanish. |

*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.
