had our interview, but we weren't given a Yes or No. Still in limbo from what we can tell, I think the interview went well, it just sounds like they have lots of other cases to review before giving us the stamp of approval. The waiting continues! |

| Embassy Review : |
We were ALL nerves. but it went well. We stayed at the microtel inn. Easy transport via UBER from the airport to the hotel. once there we organized our papers and ordered a pizza. Our interview was for the following day at 8am. The hotel was only a few blocks away, so we woke up and walked through the wendy's parking lot to the embassy. there was a large group of people waiting outside a quicky mart, likely waiting for family or for their time slot to get closer. Just walk right up, there shouldn't be a line to get in, but it seems that way. I waited outside the quicky mart with the others and it only took about 1.5 hours! So the following is second hand info from my fiance.
Entered with no problem. First they asked for her papers to put them in order. And they did ask for her appointment letter. Which arrived on august 29th to her home, our appointment was on august 15th. No worries here, just show them EVERY piece of paper and email you got from the process!
From there they were set into a line to meet the consulate. She said they were separated in to two group, ones sitting in green chairs, ones sitting in black chairs. The black chairs seemed to be EASIER cases, as the green chair lines didn't move quickly and it seemed that they were being asked more questions. At least that was what she observed.
After waiting about 30-40 mintues it was her turn. The officer asked her about my national citizenship. So my passport, my birth certificate, luckily I gave her copies of all that! and the affividavit of support for, to prove i made enough money. Her medical exam stuff, her passport, and the pictures.
That was it! she came out smiling. IF you have a GREEN piece of paper that means you are approved from what I could tell. Easy peasy. from there we celebrated with a great steak lunch at the mall across the highway, took pictures, called family, went to the movies, and just relaxed.
Entry was super easy. Customs agent just asked for paperwork. DONT OPEN YOURSELF! and said congrats... that was it. Getting married next week! |

*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.
