The interview was pretty easy going. The USCIS officer asked many questions pertaining to our relationship, education, and family life. The interview took approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Make sure that both you and your spouse are knowledgeable on all aspects of the immigration procedure and that both can respond to the interview questions; it should make the interview go a lot more smoothly. |

| Embassy Review : |
The immigration officer who received all the forms upon entering the consulate was nice in allowing my then fiancee to retake the passport photos. Although we had our own photos, it so happens to be what they prefer. So take them across the street from the consulate, they may make you take them again if you get them elsewhere. They didn't allow me to accompany my fiancee into the interview, so I waited outside for him. TRUE LOVE- I got the worst sunburn one could get ( I looked like a raccoon), there's absolutely no shade. The whole process took a total of about six hours, how tormenting, but well worth it. According to my husband, the interview was very easy going and carefree. The immigration officer asked him how long we had known each other, where we had met, if we were married and if we were going to get married, if I was a US citizen, if all my immediate family were US citizens, if he had met them and he even asked questions about our photos used for evidence who is that, where was this, etc. He was told his visa was approved and all he needed to do was wait for the visa to be printed. THank GOD!!! Everything we had prepared for and anticipated, turned out just fine and approved.  |

*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.
