Widow Visa:
My schedule was 7:10 in the morning. Since I can't sleep, I went earlier and was there around 6 am.
The lines were long, although there's not much for immigrant section.
They made us enter the premises around 6:30am.
First was pre-screening. This is were you will submit all documents (original) and answer questions that you are expecting on an interview. Like when and where I met my husband, when we got wed, have I traveled out of the country before, where will I stay if I go to US etc. This is where the longest time will be spent. The next stage is finger scanning, which was the most pleasant one. He was an American and very jolly that morning. The last one is the interview. I was on third row again. You can see from the chairs the interviewers and can tell who look nice and who look strict. Finally when I joined the line and it was my turn, an elder lady went past me (it was the nice looking consul window so I can't really blame her).
My consul was an American guy probably on early thirties. He made me swear that I'm telling the truth. There were fewer questions that was asked of me. Do I have a job, did I try tourist visa before. Then he closed the folder in my file. It actuator scared me. Then he said my visa was approved! He instruct to get a paper near me for instructions and that my visa will be two weeks.
I was out of the embassy a little past 8am. It was quicker than I thought.
The experience was nerve wracking but pleasant. I prepared my documents and read sample questions here in Visa Journey so I was a little confident.
Now I'll just wait for my visa and |

*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.
