Can't wait to cross the border! Process has been relatively straight forward so far, but only because of Visa Journey! |

| Embassy Review : |
My experience with my interview has been no different than many others. It was very simple, but very nerve wracking! I was the second in line, just behind a fellow Visa Journey forum user! I arrived around 6:40am and the whole thing was done at about 8:40am. It was very calming to meet and talk to the others in line.
They take your passport and confirmation letter right at the door, and you go through to security. Then down the stairs and wait for the elevator. Going up the elevator seemed like the longest and most awkward elevator ride of my life! Arrived at the 19th floor, got my ticket and received C3! They did call the numbers in order this time around. They nearly immediately called three of us up, and they asked for the birth certificate, police certificate and copies of my passport. In my case, there was some stickies on my previous submission with notes on them. I could read that it said, "why does recipient want permanent resident card mailed to a different address than where they intend to live?" She eventually asked me about it, and I explained to her that we weren't sure if the intended address was going to be very permanent. She asked for the affidavit of support. Then she took my finger prints, and checked all the things off the check list and that was that.
I sat back down for just a minute or two and was called for my interview. I had a very nice gentleman and we laughed about a few things. He swore me in, and I raised my left at first instead of my right! But after, he kept saying, "good answer," so I was confident I'd get approved by then. Sure enough he handed me the letter! All he asked me was what I planned on doing when I got to the states, which I of course replied, "get married!" He asked how my family felt about me moving (it was like he read my mind), and I told him that getting them to accept it was half of this battle. He chuckled. He chuckled when I told him I met my fiance in the virtual world before meeting him in real life. He also asked what my fiance did for work. That was it!
GOOD LUCK ALL! |

*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.
