I arrived at the embassy at the embassy at about 7:20 am. There were about 10 people ahead of of me. I was inside by 7:45 am, they started calling numbers at 8:00. My number was I-902, I was called at about 15 minutes. I was seen by a nice British guy , he collected my documents and finger prints , returned my medical cd and told me it was mine to keep and I should keep it in my suitcase when traveling, he gave me the pink form and asked me to complete it while I waited for my number to be called , he said I\'ll be called by counter 15 or 16.
At about a few minutes past 9:00 I was called and seen by an American guy. He asked the normal questions and a few that I wasn\'t expected. The unexpected ones were that my fiancée had said we met in 2008 and I told him we met 2009 which was true. I guess my fiancée made a mistake. Anyway I insisted to him that it was 2009. He also asked that I had a visitors visa in 2011 that why did I not mention I had fiancée on the form I completed for the visa since we were already engaged by then. My answer was i didn\'t know it was important and I was visiting my us citizen brother at that time so I put his name.
The normal questions were , how did we meet, how did our relationship progress, what did we do in the uk when he visited, where does he live , what does he do for work, does he have any family in the U.S, how many siblings does he have, do I have family in the U.S .What is so great about this guy that will make you live your settlement and life in the U.K for him. What do I do for work, do I intend to do that in the U.S . At that point he looked at the affidavit of support and the supporting documents and told me that it looks like he can support me and I don\'t have to work at all, he said that with a smile. He then said I will be approving your visa , he also said that he\'ll be canceling my visitors visa as I will be entering the U.S with an immigrant visa and then he said congratulations .
I was out by 9:30 am. My appointment was for 9:00 am.
I suggest people shoul get to the embassy as early as possible , that way your wait wouldn\'t be too long.
