My interview was scheduled for 8:30 am today. I entered the embassy at 8:20am and was called around 11:40am to submit my original marriage certificate, police certificate, birth certificate and two passport photos. The lady at the desk told me I had already submitted so many documents to the uscis and the nvc so she would only take the original copies and those that had been updated. ( I really front loaded and side loaded). I gave her the updated i864. I was called back for the interview at about 12:50pm.
CO: Hi how are you doing today?
Me: I'm doing great. You?
CO: Sorry for keeping you waiting. I know it's been a long wait.
Me: That's ok
CO: I interviewed you a year ago at the other side. ( it was for a visitors visa). Let me assure you the result will not affect today's interview in any way. But if you feel uncomfortable with me interviewing you, I'll get one of my colleagues to conduct the interview.
Me: I don't have any problem with you conducting the interview.
CO: Ok. Your visa is approved
Me: 🙂 Thank you
CO: You just have to bring an affidavit of support from a joint sponsor since the figure on your husband's last year tax transcript is not enough to sponsor you
Me: I don't need a joint sponsor. The instructions are that it is his current income that is considered and not past income.
CO: Do you have a copy of his recent paystub?
Me: Yes. I submitted them earlier. ( I pulled out a copy from my folder)
CO: You are right. You do not need a joint sponsor. I'll return your documents except the passport of course.
Me: smile
CO: Your pictures are lovely
Me: Thank you.
CO: So what do you plan on doing when you get to the USA
Me I tell him and he says 'oh! We are in the same profession'!'
A little chitchat about our profession
He then pulls out the blue paper and says your visa will be ready within two weeks.
