Arrived about 8:30 in the morning so there were very few people, probably only our flight. I went to the Visitors line and near the end there was another line for New Immigrants. I was the third person or so but then the officer told me to wait and process the elderly first, which is really nice i think. Then another officer took my case and I went with him to another booth. He was really nice. He took the brown package from the embassy, asked a couple of question like what I did before I came here, what I was going to do here etc. Then he asked me to wait at the bench while he did the paperwork. He took another 5 or 10 minutes and returned my passport and I was ready to go!. |

| Embassy Review : |
My interview slot was 8am on 29th Oct 2014. Went there at 7:30am, got through security check and was directed to a table where they scan my appointment letter. Then I went to line up for the fingerprints. That took about 30'. After that more waiting, about 30', till a guy called my number and took my documents. I didnt have my police record yet but it's ok he made a note and I returned to my seat.
After about 2 hours, I got called to the window to be interviewed. I did it in English and he asked the following:
- Have you lived in any country for more than 1 year?
- How long were you in Cambodia? (where my fiance and I met)
- What did you do in Cambodia?
- What are you doing now?
- What is your fiance doing now?
- Where was he born?
- How did he become an American citizen?
- You have been dating for a long time (4 and a half years), why did you decide to get married now, instead of continuing dating?
- Are you related?
- Are you aware that you have to get married within 90 days of entering into the US?
All in all, pleasant experience except for the jumbled ticket numbers. Why cant they call numbers in order? |

*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.
