It was pretty easy. I actually got more questions there than I did at the actually embassy interview. But regardless it was easy. They basically process your information so they can send everything to USCIS to have your green card produced. I will write a review for my POE but they dont list Nassau Bahamas as an option, I sent a PM to the admin. Are you getting nervous yet????????

We are flying through Nassau but I didn't realize that was a POE to the US. I thought our POE would be Dallas. Now I'm confused :wacko:. Either way, our flight leaves tomorrow night!!!

Just got back from the US Embassy in Santiago. My wife and step-daughter's visas were approved!

I plan to submit a full review of the interview later, but the short version is that it was one of the easiest steps in the process and took just under an hour.

I told them we have our flights booked for next Tuesday and they said they should have the visas ready to be picked up Wednesday or Thursday of this week!

Good luck to those that have interviews coming up!

Visa Approved!!! :dance: It is just pending medical results which the London embassy seem to have miss-placed, hoping it'll all be sorted by end of week though as the medical centre are also sending another copy of them to the embassy.

Thanks Erica

Thanks to everyone on here, Visa Journey has been so much help through this process.

Congrats to everyone who has been approved and good luck to everyone who has interviews coming up!

CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you!

I believe you are mistaken in your appreciation since the Bahamas is not a US territory and it does not constitute a POE. You're actual POE is the first "Port of Entry" ... that is, US territory where the immigrant first set foot when immigrating into the United States

We had our interview today. It was nice and smooth. The CO asked us many questions mostly addressed to me (USC). Unfortunately, we were placed in AP (I knew this since I was already told by few members, luckily they didn't give us the 221g paper, only a letter saying that my husband has to go through mandatory administrative processing(he's muslim) they kept his passport. Hopefully, he'll get his visa soon.

Good Luck to all of you!
