I waited in the line for security check, before I enter the building, the security guy asked my name and passport. Then I entered the building, there's another security check. ( No electronic allowed, ex : CELLPHONE, USB Flash Drive, CD-ROM, Charger, Earphones, LAPTOP). After done security check, I came to another building and one of security guy told me to wait to be called on window 15. A lady called me, she asked : - Passport - 2x2 photos (2 pieces) - DS 160 confirmation letter - Visa Payment Receipt $265 - Original birth certificate along with the translation and copy. - I-134 (Petitioner) - W2 and 1040 (Petitioner 2019 only) Because I use joint sponsor, so I gave her the joint sponsor tax documents (I-134, 1040, W2 - 2019). She asked me some questions as well : 1. Have you worked abroad before? - No 2. Have you ever been married before? - No 3. Do you have any child? - No 4. Any name changes? - No She then gave me the orange pamphlet about domestic violence, she told me to wait and read the paper. And also she gave the medical result. My name got called and told me to go to window 9. The funny thing, because I was too nervous, I entered the wrong room 😂 luckily, no body's looking at me lol and again, another funny moment when the consular told me to place my fingers on the scanning machine, I placed my 4 fingers too fast, he was laughing. He was said " wait hold on" 😂 he knew that I'm so nervous! The consular was really nice and polite.❤ - Fingers screening - Oath Taking Questions : 1. What is your fiance name? 2. Where is his address? 3. What he do for living? Like what is his job? 4. When was the last time he visited you? 5. When was the first time you talked to him? Oh, from which dating site? 6. Is he ever been married before? 7. Have you ever been married before? 8. What's your plan for the wedding? 9. Is he lives in apartment or? Oh, so he lives with his parents. 10. Did he met your family? 11. Does your mother likes him? 12. Who is (....) ? His father? I said no, it's his brother (he checked our joint sponsor) He handed me back my original birth certificate and the evidence of relationship which were submitted on our petition, he said " here's for you to keep", Then I waited for like 5 minutes, he was quite busy typing something on his computer, he stand up and get the approval later. He said " here's the approval letter, wait at least 5 days for the visa" and well, after that everything I heard from him it's like brbrbrbrbrb, like the time suddenly stopped (drama movie) 😂I wasn't hear anything clearly as I was too nervous and shocked! So I just say " Thank you so much sir" and after that I lost my focus 😂 Thank you so much for everyone here. I pray for a tons of luck and blessings for you guys. Never lose your hopes. Always and always have faith! ❤This too shall pass and this is just the beginning of our journey. ❤ Tips for the interview : 1. Before you going for an interview, pray and ask the blessings from parents. It works! 2. Let everything goes just like what's God has planned for you. 3. Always start everything with honesty. 4. Look at the consular eyes and be honest, be natural and be calm.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
