I had my interview today and got approved Alhamdulilah
I must say without the help of fellow Vjers it wasn't an easy ride.
My interview time was 07:00 am but it's always good to be there before time as there are long queues. Main gate opens at 6 am and after checking my ID card I was allowed to enter.
Before you enter the main hall to get the tickets for Diplomatic Shuttle Service (DSS) you go through metal detectors and security/passport check.
Embassies don't allow bags and mobile phones so I deposited my belongings in the lockers provided at the reception area. Make sure to keep the receipt safe.
There was a long queue for the tickets and after paying for my ticket I went through Security (Body Check Booth) to enter into the waiting area for DSS.
Shuttle ride is approx 10 mins and at the Embassy entrance my passport and interview letter was checked and then I went through metal detectors/Security to enter the building. I was given a token num and asked to wait in the seating area.
After 5 mins I was called at one of the counters to submit my Original Passport, Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate with its translation and two Passport Size Pictures. My contact numbers were taken and I was asked to be seated.
Here I must say there was a staff member with crooked teeth in the seating area who was extremely annoying and rude to everyone. He was supposed to help people instead he had an attitude. The other thing, lack of privacy during interviews as I could hear people being interviewed which I must say is little uncomfortable for everyone.
After 15 mins I was called again to counter 10 and CO took my fingerprints and I took oath. My interview started and I was asked the following questions;
1. Who is calling you?
2. How did you meet your wife?
3. How long have you known each other?
4. When did you get engaged?
5. Have you ever been to USA?
6. Do you have any children?
I answered all the questions and I was given the good news that I have got the visa
It didn't last for 3 minutes and I wasn't asked for any evidence even-though I had a huge pile with me.
Advice: Arrive early, Stay calm and be nice to others, have patience as I saw people getting impatient in the queues so be courteous and help others specially old people and women.
