| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at the Embassy about 15 minutes before our interview (it was at 13h00). Got a ticket from someone at the entrance because the ticket dispenser wasn't working.
We sat down and about 1:15 our number was called and I went to guichet 20 to pay the 400 bucks. We sat down and waited another thirty minutes or so and we were called again. This time the person took all the documents requested in Packet 4. Told us what we would expect if the visa was issued, how to waive the condition on it etc. We then sat down again and waited another thirty minutes or so.
This time we met the Consular, she looked at all the papers. Asked me two questions (I'm the USC); Were you a student this year? (I wasn't, I was an assistant de langue) and then "Are you going to work next year in America?" My wife and I worked hard to go over all the questions in the interview guide on this website. It was so funny that after all that work, all the questions were directed to me. She then told us that the visa would arrive in 7-10 business days.
All in all, an excellent experience through and through, every step of the way.
My best recommendation, is to be over prepared than under prepared. We had all sorts of imaginable supporting documents in case they asked for it, but they never did. |

*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.
