Very smooth and straightforward process at the embassy.
I arrived at 9.50 my interview was at 10.30, I looked for the red tent located at the south entry point, there was a small que so I got in line. Once at the front I handed my passport over with my DS160 and then was directed inside to go through security like at the airport. Then I headed over to the main building where I lined up again and once inside I handed over the same documents, passport and DS160. I was then given a sticker this showed what number I was and what booths to sit on front of. I was then directed up the lift to level 1 and told to follow the immigrant arrow. Found my booth and sat down... once my ticket was called I approached the booth and handed over my documents in this order:
Passport
Birth certificate
Police certificate
Passport photos
Adviate of support
Then they took my finger prints and I was handed my chest X-ray and told to take a seat and wait again.
This time I was waiting for my actual interview. I waited for about 20mins and could hear people getting approved... so nervous!
Once my number appeared again I went up to another booth a bit like a bank but with more privacy and had my right hand finger prints taken again, the. I was told to swear to tell the truth... which o did.
The lady was really lovely and friendly she asked:
How did you guys meet?
I told her a brief story that we met while I was travelling and how I’m a teacher so I was travelling the east coast for 6 weeks with my friends and we met and hit it off at the start of my trip. I said how my fiancé had managed to visit pretty often and how I had managed to visit him often too.
The she asked where he lives and where we intend to live which I answered again.... then as she was typing she said
Ok you are all set we are going to issue the visa and you should have it within 2 weeks.
Yayyyyyy |

*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.
