Texas | California | Naples, Italy | 2022-12-03 | 2022-12-09 | 2023-12-05 | 2024-01-25 | 2024-02-12 | 2024-02-16 | 2024-03-26 | 2024-04-23 | 2024-05-03 | 2024-06-03 | 507 | 6 | 412 | 89 | At the embassy, everyone was nice and kind. I got there at 7:20 and I was the second in line. It doesn't matter what time your interview is, they operate on a "first come first served" basis. Once inside the building, I was asked to show (to check they were in order) the following docs: - birth certificate - police certificates - DS160 confirmation page - 4 Photos - I-134 form I waited for about 10 minutes and was called into a separate room to present the above docs. Meanwhile, the officer (who was Italian and spoke Italian to me), was checking the information on the papers and asked me: - where did I meet my fiancé - what do I do for a living - what does my fiancé do for a living At this stage, I presented: - my fiancé's tax return - our sponsor's tax return and I-134 + IDs - proof of payment of the embassy Visa fees Once done with the docs check, he took my fingerprints and gave me the envelope from the doctor for the officers at the port of entry in the US. I went back to the waiting room and waited about 15 minutes more. This time, for the actual interview, I was called to the standing booth. The man who interviewed me was quite young and friendly. He asked me: - who filed the petition - when did I meet my boyfriend for the first time - when did we get engaged - if he's a US citizen or national - where does he work - how many times I visited him in the US After that, he left for a moment, then came back, and told me: "Congrats, your visa is approved!" Overall, it was so much easier than I thought. I was SO nervous the night before and even before speaking to them. But somehow once I started talking/giving them the papers, I felt at ease (I was well over-prepared). I was surprised they didn't ask or check anything else in terms of documents, especially to prove that the relationship is authentic. I got inside the embassy at 8:10 and was out at 9:20. If I were you, I'd aim to arrive there early so that you can finish early and not go through the whole wait. | 2024-06-14 | |||||

This led to numerous delays. We had a chance to fix it during the nvc stage but we didn't know we had messed up then. When we contacted the Kampala embassy, they told us the case would be transferred automatically, it didn't happen. In Nov, we emailed them and they electronically transferred the case to Nairobi. However, they didn't transfer the physical case, this led to more delays. Even after transferring the physical case, getting instructions, it took a month for the case to show on AIS after opening several tickets with them as case started with KMPxxxxxx instead of NRB. Word of caution: MAKE CERTAIN YOU PUT "NAIROBI" ON THE I129 IF YOU ARE UGANDAN. | 2024-04-04 | ||||||
