| Embassy Review : |
Approved! Thanks to Jehovah and the great advice & experiences found here on VisaJourney! My husband arrived at 7am to the embassy and the line was long. However, he got inside the building without issue. A lady collected his documents and asked if he had any new evidence he wanted to submit and took those. He submitted a few additional chat messages and photos.
He then sat in a waiting area for about 2 hours before he was called for his interview. He was interviewed by an older white gentleman. When he first approached the window he was sworn in under oath. He was asked several questions. Here are what I remembered:
• How did you meet your spouse?
• When was her last visit?
• Was there a previous marriage?
• Why did you marry on 1st visit?
• Does your spouse have kids? How many?
• What is your spouse’s occupation?
• Where does your spouse live?
The CO seemed surprised that this was my only marriage. So, he asked my husband twice was I married before. And when he responded "no" twice, he then asked WHY didn’t I marry before. My husband replied, “I don’t know.†Then the CO laughed. Then he asked why did you marry on the first visit, my husband responded, “Such is life.†Again, the CO laughed at his answer. The CO also asked what was my husband's occupation and what he planned to do in the US. He also, asked why I had not visit since the marriage and my husband explained my medical condition that prevented me from flying. He offered a copy of my medical records to support his response but the CO declined to see them.
My husband says he believes confidence is key when interviewing and ensuring that you are truthful and all your information you’ve submitted matches to your responses. Initially, the CO was asking questions rapidly, barely giving my husband a chance to fully comprehend, as if he wanted to confuse him. But, he was able to keep up and respond to all questions asked. Although we had a couple of red flags, we gathered documentation that could provide a response to them. So, I think if you follow the guides here and look at your case through the eyes of a CO and prepare your documents accordingly you should be successful. And prayer works too! Wishing everyone much success on your journey!

*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.
