| Embassy Review : |
My fiance's (Bart) experience at his interview:
I arrived to the Embassy 20 minutes before his appointment at 13:30. At 13:30 an officer came out to confirm we all had our documents in order (invite/ appointment letter and confirmation page).
One of the applicants was turned away because he forgot to register/confirm his appointment online. They said he could go to an internet cafe to log-in, register, and return to the embassy with the confirmation.
Don't forget that PHONES are NOT ALLOWED!!! The lockers at central station are only around 4 euros...use one.
We had to walk through a metal detector and wait in a small room. I had to give my passport to the guard at the metal detector.
I was called up to window 5 and gave them the following papers:
1. My invite
2. Two passport photos (US size, not European size). Most places can accommodate this request
3. Affidavit of Financial Support
The officer was impressed that there was a cover letter and blue pieces of paper dividing the sections of the Affidavit for easy sorting. Our additional Intent to Marry and proof of ongoing relationship documents were not collected. However, if you read other posts, you will see that sometimes they are collected and put into the embassy file. Bring everything just in case.
I sat back down and had to wait 5-10 minutes for window 6 to become available. At window 6, the officer asked me several questions including:
1. Fiancee's name and where they live
2. How and when did we meet
3. How many times I have gone to the States to visit
4. Have I met my fiancee's parents
5. Where does my fiancee work and what does she do for a living
6. What I plan on doing for work when I am living in the States
After I answered my questions, he said that he had all of the information he needed. He stamped my paperwork and said, Congratulations! (Yay). He also mentioned that I should be receiving my paperwork and passport with visa in the mail within 4-5 business days.
Advice:
1. Leave all electronics at home or in a locker at central station.
2. Bring two color passport photos US size...not European size. We almost overlooked this.
3. Organize your paperwork and prepare a clear cover sheet
4. Follow the instructions closely on the interview invite. It's clear that you need to sign-in, register, confirm your appointment, pay the fee, and print the confirmation before your actual interview date.
Good luck! |

*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.
