My Interview Experience

[msd 3]

The embassy is located in the Mariott hotel and I was planning on going to the bar beforehand to get me a Jack on ice but they were closed. So I waited in the lobby and took the elevator up there 15 minutes before the appointment and was the first one in line. Any electrical stuff has to be left at the reception desk and you better do what the lady says because she has a gun. Scanned my purse and headed right to window 5 to drop off my medical results and passport as well as 2 new passport pictures. The (austrian) lady took her time to carefully go through the paperwork and when she was done gave be back the x-ray envelope and told me to sit down and wait.

After about 20 minutes I was called to window 7 and a mid-30 year old man greeted me very nicely. He had me swear that everything I stated in my application is true and correct and took my fingerprints.

The he asked me when/how I met my husband, where we got married and where we are planning on living. I don't know if he tried to trick me into something when he asked me if my husband was in such and such unit when he was stationed on Hawaii but I hadn't hear of it and knew the unit he really was in anyway.

After that he just said yes yes, everything looks good and typed something on his computer and then said the magical words "your visa has been approved, congratulations." I just smiled from ear to ear and gave him a two thumbs up and said thank you.

After that I had to wait again and was called back to window 5 where the austrian lady took my phone number and told me they'd call me when the passport was finished and that I would have to come back and pick it up.

While I was waiting there was another very young consul lady doing interviews for another category and everybody got approved by her. I don't think they will give anybody a hard time on purpose if everything is in order.

Our embassy only does Interviews at 1PM not earlier. So it was more like noon, no worries.

And thank you!

Oh I forgot to mention. At the end the person explained that I have to remove conditions after some time. "I think like 5 years." *Face-palm* I didn't say anything and nodded happily anyway. Oooooh my. hahah I bet they really don't have a lot of marriage based immigrant cases.

Thank you guys!

And no, we are on the east coast now.

No definite time of entry yet. Hopefully by the end of October. I have two exams and a bachelor's degree that wants to be claimed.

Sounds like a plus place if it is inside of a Marriot. Glad it was a breeze. Don't forget to adjust your status in 5 years.
