| Embassy Review : |
Our interview was October 7, 2005. We arrived 30 minutes early and because I was a bit scattered brained and nervous, the guard picked up on it and decided to have some laughs. He did make me smile and made me feel relaxed. We went in through security and the lovely guard flashed a smile and whispered "good luck" to us as we went through and he passed us our bags. So, we march around the building. We get in and I had to unload my laptop. We go into the visa section... and then panic and fear start to set in!!! There was LOADS of people in that room. It was massive. As an American, I had this "rose colored" view of what I thought it might look like. Obviously, I was fantasizing.
We pull our number... and its the number #13!
Now, I'm really nervous.
Shortly after we sit down, we are asked to go to window #1. We are greeted by a lovely lady of Asian - American (Japanese / Chinese) descent. She made small talked with us and really was so nice. She asked my hubby a few questions and told us not to be so nervous. It was hard to hear her through the glass, but we enjoyed our time at the window.
We pay the cashier and then sit down and wait for the interview.
Then, 20 minutes later we here #13 Mr. Blah Blah Blah please come to window #13! OMG! Panic mode again. My heart dropped. Two #13 in one day.
We go to window thirteen and we are greeted by a really nice American guy with such a lovely voice. I tell you, it sounded like his voice could in fact be the "voice of reason". He asked us some questions, my husband answered, we raised our right hands, we smiled, we asked questions... and he was sooooo very helpful at giving us answers as well.
...then, at the end of it all...
FIVE VERY BEAUTIFUL WORDS
...WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES!
I wish I could've hugged and kissed every one at the Embassy, but I had the flu and it was no need for me to go around causing a pandemic. LOL!
Good luck to all of you with up coming interviews, I hope that our good luck is contagious!!!  |

*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.
