Interview was set for Jan 11th at 730am.
Got to Embassy at 6:45am and there were a lot of people already in line. (Like 100) so be prepared to get there early.
Finally went inside Embassy like 845am. Gave the guard P4 Letter & Aramex Confirmation.
Waited for number to be called.Once number was called, they took fingerprints & was told to wait again...1 hr later was called again for the actual interview. The CO's were very nice.
There was a CO lady that spoke Arabic and since husband didn't understand good, she translated for him. My husband then told her that the interview can be in English but just some things he may not understand good so she called another CO and she stayed there the entire interview in case my husband didn't understand something but all went well.
Questions that were asked:
1) How did you meet your wife?
2) What's the name of the website you met your wife?
3) Please spell the name of the website.
4) How long have you known your wife?
5) Where does your wife work?
6) How many times did she visit you?
7) They asked him to provide proof of ongoing communication so my husband provided the CO with Viber messages since we started talking.
8) The CO asked when was the first msg you sent to your wife? (Please provide date)
9) The CO asked about my family and my husband showed him some pics I had sent to my husband when I went on 2 trips with my family to California in 2014
- The CO asked for the people on the pics and my husband told them it was my siblings and parents.
-CO asked for the names of my siblings and parents.
10) Does your family know your wife?
11) What does your family think of your wife?
12) When your parents met your wife, did they give her gifts?
- What type of gifts?
Finally after answering all those questions they said "Mabrook! Your visa is approved and you will get it in 1 week." Then they took his address & phone number and told him Aramex will deliver his passport with Visa to his home.
Then one day after his interview, the CEAC website changed to "Administrative Processing".
I will come back and update regarding how my husband got his visa via Aramex (Delivered to his home or if he has to pick it up at Aramex location.) |

*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.
