Arrived at around 9am for 9:15 appointment. After clearing security we went to the next room where they scanned the TNT delivery sheet into their system and placed a barcode sticker on the back of the passport.
We were then sent to the window where you get your number for waiting in line and give medical exams envelope and any other missing documents.
The person gave us a number but also took medical exam envelope and processed all the documents at the same time.
We sat down again waiting for fingerprints for which we were called about 5 minutes later, to the same window.
Then about a 30 minute wait to speak with the CO. There were three people who were waiting before us, with earlier numbers, but we were called in first, so I guess the number order or "first come first served" does not apply.
The CO was a very nice lady.
She asked the beneficiary the following questions:
- How did you meet your husband?
- Do you have kids, how many?
- Are the kids USC's?
- Have you ever been to the US before?
Then she asked me (the petitioner) what steps I took to reestablish domicile in the US. I told her few of the main steps I have taken.
She then said that everything looks good, your visa has been approved, you will receive your passport in 2-3 business days
We were done exactly 1 hour after entering the embassy.
