Case was transferred to NBC on 09/02/2020.
Got notification on 06/02/2021 that an RFE was issued. Received the letter in the mail on 06/15/21 and was told they needed most of the documents we already submitted when we filed initially. Most likely they misplaced them when they were transferring our case to NBC.
USCIS received the packet for the RFE on 07/07/21 and was updated on the app next day.
On 07/21/21, Case changed to “Ready to be scheduled for an interview.†|

| Embassy Review : |
My interview was scheduled for 6:30am today. Arrived the embassy by 5:30am and went into the embassy by 6:30am.
3 consular officers were assinged to immigrants,the much talked about Asian American Guy,the Africa American lady and a white guy.
I was number1,was called first and interviewed by the white guy at 7:36am(GMT+1). The whole interview was less than 10mins and was out of the embassy by 7:47am.
Here are the particulars;
1. You are going to the US to join your husband?
2.You have been here before?
3. How long has your husband been in the US?
4. How long have you been married to him?
5. What are his hobbies?
6. How many times has he visited you?
7.What type of wedding did you both have?
8. What does he do in the US?
9. What did you both do when he visited last? This question made him go further from my response. One of the things i told him was that my husband always cooked for me when he's in Nigeria(which is also one of his hobbies)then he asked the kind of meals did he cook,i told him our local dishes then he went ahead to ask what recipes and I told him egusi,ogbolo soup and pounded yam,he responded by telling me he loves egusi soup so much and at this time,I became more relaxed.
10. Where and When did we first meet?
11. Asked for our wedding pictures and people in the pictures,asked for our pictures together prior to our wedding and finally he pronounced the magical words.. I'm going to approve your visa at this time,gave me 3papers for visa pick up,instructions for green card fee payment and my right as a Spouse of a USC against domestic violence |

*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.
