| Embassy Review : |
My appointment was on DEC 5th at 2pm.
I showed up about 15 minutes prior to the interview and was somewhat surprised by how many people arrived at the same time (for very various reasons it appears).
The embassy is like a fort, all fenced up, multiple security guards and lines.
I entered through a first room that was very airport security like, then picked a ticket (new immigrant) and walked into the waiting room.
The area looks like a bank with several counters Sith thick windows. I was called at a first window where a very kind lady checked on my civil documents and explained a bunch of stuff (that I already knew) to me about the protocole and obligations. Easy so far...
I was invited to go back in the waiting area (for about 20 minutes) then was called to a different window where I was greeted by a very pleasant and smiling man, apparently the consul since Belgium doesn't have an ambassador since the president hasn't named one yet.
The discussion was very friendly. Few questions were asked :
* When/where we met ;
* Where my husband lives/works, which state he's from ;
* The address we will be living at (same as the one in the paperwork) ;
* How many times we had sen each other since we got married (where and when) ;
The consul then checked the civil documents again, joked about the phonebook thick like dossier we had... and stumbled on my police certificate (heart dropped for a second), then laughed and said "Oh speeding tickets, happens to everyone right?"
It took basically 5 minutes (maybe a couple more) and I was told, with a big grin, than I was approved and had the choice to either come back to pick up the enveloppe, or get it through courrier service, I opted for the latter since I had already paid for it.
Bottom line : a surprisingly pleasant and friendly experience (from the security staff to the embassy people). Everyone made this potentially nerve wracking experience a nice moment to remember fondly of.

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.
