| Embassy Review : |
Got to the consulate at 7:30am for my 8:00am interview on the 4th August.
Went and had a security check on level 10 then spent 30 mins waiting to go to the 59 floor.
Once on level 59, got a ticket then waited for a couple of mins then went to a window, the lady just looked over my papers and asked me for my passport, visa fee receipt, original birth cert and a 3kg post bag which they advised to bring in packet 4.
then she advised me that everything looks good and asked me to take a seat.
5 mins later another person called me to have my fingerprint taken, then took another seat.
5 mins later I was called to another window to have my interview.
the man just asked me a couple of questions like, where does your fiance live, where does he work and when would I be leaving for the states.
He also looked over my medical results and saw that I actually got a tattoo of my fiances name on my foot and said "wow, youre pretty committed" lol then we both laughed... he then said ok, youre approved and that was that.... I recieved my passport with the visa and a brown envelope in the mail the next day.
Everyone at the consulate was extremly nice and really relaxed.
it only took about 1 hour

My port of entry was at LAX, got off the plane, made my way to immigration, handed my sealed envelope with my passport and I-94 card, he looked through everything, made small convo and then let me through... took about 5 mins...
it was a breeze |

*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.
