| Embassy Review : |
My interview was scheduled for July 11 (Tuesday) at 8:00 am. I reached the embassy by 7:00 am. I was asked to wait as the entry for 8:00 am interview will start at 7:30. At 7:30 they asked to form a queue...both Immigration and non immigration. There were 10- 11 people before me. Then they asked all the immigration visa applicants to step out of the existing queue and form another. The next queue looked too short and I was 2nd in the line. They asked me to show the interview letter and passport at the entrance. After the manual security check and the folders being scanned through I was asked to follow the red line on the floor and enter the big hall where further processing would be done. All the applicants were asked to sit in the specific area of the hall. Staff members came and asked me to handover the passport, appointment letter, 2 photos, DS260(the stamped one), birth + marriage certificate (original and one copy), original PCC (they took only one), sealed medical reports. They arranged the documents in order and gave back instructing me not to change the order of documents. At 8:00 they told me to go to window no. 21, where the lady pasted the Token no. on the appointment letter and gave the entire set back and asked to move to the window where my token no. would flash. Before I could see our no. one of the staff members said mam its window 25 for you. A very sweet girl at the window. She verified all the documents, returned originals, then asked for 2016 tax return. I gave that along with the new i864 with original signature. She said they already have i864 and need only tax return. She prepared the file with all the required documents and I could see they had everything we sent to USCIS and NVC. She returned the appointment letter and said I have to now wait for interview with CO as the token no. flashes. Gave me the pamphlet about the legal rights and said to go through it as the CO might ask questions about it. It was 8:15 am. There were only TWO dedicated windows for Immigration cases. I read the content of the pamphlet and remembered the helpline no 911. At 8:55, my number came at window 23. They call out the number also. At the window there was the African American CO. He greeted me very politely.
The officer made me take the Oath. Then asked below questions:
1. Have you read this pamphlet?
Yes
2. Can you tell me about it?
I told very briefly including the helpline no. He said - ‘fantastic!!’
3. Is this a love marriage or arranged marriage?
Answered.
4. Who arranged it?
Answered.
5. When did you get married?
5th Sept. 2016.
6. 2016 or 2015?
2016.
7. Where does your husband live in US?
Answered.
8. With whom?
Answered.
9. Where does he work?
Answered.
10. Do you work here?
Yes.
11. What’s your designation at work?
Answered.
12. Is it a technical profile?
Answered.
His last comment - Congratulations!! Your Visa has been APPROVED!
He gave me the yellow paper where it says - Congratulation!! Your immigration Visa has been approved and you can collect it from the Pickup address in 3 to 5 working days. And the white paper with the instruction for payment of $220 for green card before I travel.
I wasn’t asked for any other evidence or supporting documents, No photos, call/chat details asked.
Overall a GREAT experience!! Very helpful staff and once you enter the Embassy you don’t feel you are alone. Staffs are really helpful to the people who are on their own. I was overwhelmed to see how they were helping the elderly people. They are doing excellent job! Cheers!!

Timeline Comments: 1Any update regarding your citizenship interview?
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
