| Embassy Review : |
Interview this morning. Whole process took less than 2 hours. Security and entry procedure already described in this thread so no need to repeat. May be helpful to note that some had turned up at 7.15am although their interviews were scheduled for 8.30/9am. These people were separated into a slower line so that those with an 8am appointment could get in sooner.
Got in at 7.45am for 8am interview. Got called after 30 minutes. A friendly guy took my passport, 2 photos, and took my fingerprints. I am an NVC filer so he had my birth and police certificates already in front of him. He had a few simple questions about my paperwork (name of wife and in-laws.) He chatted a little about how awful the LA subway system is (to put me at my ease I think.) He then told me all my paperwork was in order.
After this I waited for about 1 hr before being called again for the interview proper. A kindly lady asked me to raise my right hand and swear that I was telling the truth. She asked some straightforward questions about the timeline of my relationship with my spouse. She asked how we'd kept in touch, when we'd last met, what my wife does for a job, and what my co-sponsors do. I did not need to produce any evidence of our relationship even though I'd taken half a tree's worth. I saw her crossing the 'approved' box and knew I was home and dry. She then told me I was approved (the nicest part of her job I imagine!) I thanked her sincerely then went to pay for the courier service at the rear of the embassy, and then shared the good news with my wife.
By my experience, I would say that provided that your relationship is genuine
and you have payed close attention to the paperwork requirements, then you have nothing to worry about. If there are no obvious red flags from their side, then all you have to do is truthfully answer some simple questions.
I hope this helps and wish everyone all the best with their journeys. Thank you Visa Journey for your invaluable help during this process.

*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.
