| Embassy Review : |
I was at the embassy 20 minutes prior to my appointment. Everything went well, although Fullerton hasn't sent them my medical report so I'll have to wait for that... Here's my review:
- Got there 20 minutes prior to appointment (not necessary but I wanted to get there with time to spare)
- Handed over my smartphone and earphones to the guard before passing through the detector
- A lady told me to wait for my name to be called at counter 7
- I didn't find a clock anywhere in the waiting room so I am quite thankful I wore a watch. That helped me keep track of time.
- There's a instant photo booth in the waiting room but it's 10 dollars for 2 photos. Just FYI! Like most people, I got my photos done somewhere else for much cheaper.
- They called my name around 10 minutes past my appointment time. Went to counter 7.
- The officer at counter 7 asked for my passport, birth certificate, certificate of clearance, I-134, passport photos, etc. He also asked if I/my fiancé was ever married and/or had kids. He was quite cheery, even chatted with me about the area I'm living in ("Oh, you're living near XXX! I have a friend who used to live there..."). Gave me this IMBRA/domestic violence booklet and told me that I should read it while I am waiting for the CO to call on me.
- Waited for another 10-15 minutes. CO called on me (counter 8)
- Swore that I am telling the truth. Quick fingerprinting.
- A few questions on how we met, when we met, when was the next time we met, when did we realise the relationship was getting serious, when he proposed/if it's a mutual decision, what he does for a living, what his dad does for a living (his dad is our co-sponsor), what I do for a living, how we keep in touch when we're not together, and what our wedding plans are. He was not stern, but not super friendly. Just professional.
- He also asked me to explain IN MY OWN WORDS what the booklet said. Essentially that I have legal support if I am abused and we have to get married within 90 days of my arrival in the US.
- He told me that everything looks good! BUT ---
- He said that Fullerton has not sent my medical report and that I will have to wait till it gets in (probably in the next week or 2). This was disappointing but I kinda knew that already because of prior reviews here of Fullerton. Funnily, he sounded quite exasperated about Fullerton and the medical report not being mailed in so I think he must know about this?). I asked if there's anything I can do to speed that up, and he said no, that calling them wouldn't help either - just gotta wait till it gets mailed. He kept my passport since I have no travel plans.
- That's it! Out of the embassy around 50 minutes from my appointment.
- P.S. He didn't ask for evidence of ongoing relationship/letter of intent etc even though I had them ready with me.
Now, more waiting

Good experience. Arrived on eve of Thanksgiving, yet no matter at all as the airport was properly staffed and running efficiently! Took less than 5 mins with the immigration officer. First, I told him I am entering on a K1 visa and handed over the envelope and my passport. Did the routine fingerprinting and then he said, "Well, let's get this paperwork sorted". He tore open the envelope quickly and perused the documents for a quick minute. Then he asked me if we have a Wedding date in mind. I said yes, that it is in end-December and then he said I have until a particular date to get married. Then he verified if the address I put in my documents is correct - "XXX ABC STREET - You will be living there, correct?" I said yes. He then said "Okay, all set - good luck!" That's it! Crazy fast - I'd say even faster than a tourist visa. |

Amazing experience. We were both in the office at the same time for the interview, not separated. The officer asked us to swear that we're telling the truth. The interview itself was lighthearted.
Questions (either asked to me or him):
1. Why are the two of you in Boston?
2. What's your husband's mother's name? What does she do?
3. What's your husband's father's name? What does he do?
4. What's your husband's brother's name? What does he do?
5. What's your husband's sister's name?
6. Where does your wife work?
7. How many times has she been married?
8. Have you voted while in the US?
9. Have you committed genocide, so on so forth...? (The officer was a little jokey in the way he asked some of these questions, which almost made me laugh, I gotta say! But thankfully, I kept a straight face and answered without cracking up.)
10. Do you have any additional evidence of your relationship? (I showed him a lease with our names on it and a photo album of 5 photos: courthouse wedding, us cutting a wedding cake, us on our honeymoon, us on a snow day, us with family at a restaurant.)
11. Do you want me to use the green or red stamp? (Ha ha ha, the answer is green!!!)
Approved!

Timeline Comments: 1
*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.
