Hi All,
I had my interview today and got approved.
As everyone suggested:
Uploading documents to CEAC portal prior to your interview - highly recommended.
Going more than 15 minutes to your appointment - NOT recommended (there was crazy wind and snow today and they still didn’t let anyone in)
No personal items - Only small locker for phones and wallet
My appointment was at 7:45 AM and i went there at 7:30 and they let me in.
After 20-30 minutes wait, i was called in and asked only for following documents:
- birth certificate
- marriage certificate
- police clearance
- passport
- passport size photo ( 2 X 2 )
And took my fingerprints.
After that i was told to wait for the main interview.
The officer i had was really friendly and asked following questions:
Who’s sponsoring you?
Where does my wife lives?
What does she do for living?
What is my relationship with my joint sponsor?
At the end she told me that she is approving my file and I will receive my passport in two weeks.
Overall much easier experience than what i was prepared for.
Always good to be prepared but my impression is that it is more of a verification and 2nd level check for your documentation than an actual interview.
Thanks everyone who helped me get prepared.
