POE was extremely easy. Checked fingerprints, opened envelope then sent him through. Did not take him aside. Went through immigration/customs quicker than with the visa waiver. |

| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at the embassy around 8:00 am for a 9:00 am interview. Went through front security then picked up number which was a sticker that they stuck on the letter of interview time (Note: remember this number as they take this letter at the first window). Waited for about 40 minutes until called to first window. They asked for stuff on checklist, nothing extra. Then sent back to waiting room. The wait was LONG. Waited for 2 1/2 hours before he was called to 2nd window. Took fingerprints again and had to raise right had and swear to tell the truth. The woman was pleasant but did ask about 15 questions, all of which were fairly easy
The questions asked where:
When did you meet?
How did you meet?
When did you meet for the first time?
How did it go?
How many times have you met altogether?
What is your fiance's full name?
Has your finance ever been married?
Where does your finance ex husband live?
Does your finace have any children, if so how many?
Have you ever been married and do you have any children?
How do you get along with your finance's children?
When do you plan on getting married?
Have you made any travel arrangements?
He noticed that everything was already processed and pictures on etc. Got the feeling that visa approval was a forgone conclution. After questions she gave him a letter that basically said he was approved pending medical. Explained the envelope that would arrive by courier (Do not Open), then sent him over to the courier. The courier service personnel were not friendly. Very hard to deal with. Charged for SMS service even though he told them no and did not supply a mobile number (So check your receipts before you leave the building). |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
