Pretty simple and straight forward. They just fingerprinted the first four finger of the right hand to verify identity I guess. But simple enough. Was out of the airport a hour and half after landing. ORD was very busy when I landed so most of my time went standing in line. |

| Embassy Review : |
Had an interview on the 24th at 7:30 a.m. Fiancee reached the embassy at 0630 in the morning and it was raining heavily. She had an umbrella, but the embassy does not provide a covered place to assemble. She said people were huddling under trees and whatever cover they could find. Just before 7 am, the VFS guys started asking to form a line for the immigrant visa and non immigrant visa and to have their appointment letters out.
VFS let them in and same thing going through security, turning in your cell phone if you have one, and any big bags, etc. Then VFS assigns you a token and that is your number for the rest of the day. My fiancee was the third one in, so her token was a low number. Anyways after that VFS staff calls her over, collects her DS-230s, DS-156, DS-156k, PCC, Birth certificate, demand draft of the voucher stating you have already paid, passport, and delivery confirmation letter, I-134, all the usual documents and did her fingerprints.
She was asked to take a seat until her number is displayed again. After a little wait, her number was displayed on the board, and she went in to a young 30-35 year old American lady whom my fiancee described as pleasant.
She asked her the following questions:
1. How we met?
2. Was it love or arranged?
3. Why do you want to get married in the U.S.?
4. When are you getting married?
5. Why did you guys wait so long?
6. What does he do?
7. Where does he live?
8. How did you guys stay in contact?
9. Show me some pictures of you two together
After filling through the pics, she smiled at my fiancee and told her she was approved.
The End. |

*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.
