| Embassy Review : |
Overall, a really good experience!
My interview was scheduled at 8.30. I showed up at 7.45, and confusedly tried to enter the embassy without standing in the line – because I didn't see the line for immigrant visas, as no one was there! I further embarrassed myself when I tried to show the guard my bag and everything promptly fell out. "OH NO!" I thought, but hoped that this was the only awkwardness I had to deal with. Once I passed through the security I was directed to the waiting room where I was told to go to a window where a nice, younger lady collected my documents. Unlike many others, she did ask me for evidence of our relationship! I had only brought a couple of things, but I gave them a booklet of pictures from our wedding, which she accepted. After one of the embassy people marvelled at how old my UK marriage certificate looked (rude!), and she defended it as being cute (thnx!), I was told to wait for the interview itself.
I don't know how long I waited, but after a while I was called up to the window where a man with reddish hair interviewed me. He asked me to narrate the story of our relationship, after which he asked when we were planning on moving. Then he told us that he believed me and that it seemed real, that all the papers were in order and that I should be getting the visa in a couple of weeks or so.
I caught a bus back from the embassy at 8.30am, when my interview was supposed to have begun. All in all, very good! |

*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.
