Overall the interview was very simple, and they did not ask for any documentation / whatsapp chat logs etc (though ofcourse it is advisable to take all supporting documents with you)
************************************************************************************************
You should be there atleast 30 mins before your scheduled time, like I was scheduled at 7.30am, but the queue for 7.30am was formed at 7am!
After that you go through security (no CD, pen drive or phone allowed, DO NOT carry the medical report CD, only carry the sealed envelope given for medical). After security, you will be ushered into a room, where they will take your documents, passport, original birth certificate + 1 copy, original marriage certificate + 1 copy, PCC original, DS 260 ( the one used for your bio-metrics) and 2 photos (US size)
They will check your documents, then give you a token no, after which you are called to the window, where you submit the documents along with originals and passport, there they will ask you for your name, spouse’s name and your phone no, and how long you’ve been married, if you’ve ever traveled to another country or lived outside India. Once that’s through you are made to sit and wait for the interview. People are called for the interview on a random basis and the entire process can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours
I went in around 7.15am and was out by 11am
Questions asked:
who has filed the case for you?
How long have you been married?
How many times have you met since your marriage?
Was it a love or arranged marriage?
Who arranged it? - I mentioned we got introduced through our parents, who in turn got in contact through a family friend
Details on the family friend? As in how do you know them? Do they live in the same neighborhood etc?
What do you like about your husband? Be specific e.g if you say honest, you are asked for an example
Have you ever been to the US? Which other countries have you been too? Have you stayed anywhere else, other than India?
Where in US does your husband stay? What does he do?
************************************************************************************************
So overall very general questions - and no curve balls. Though I know that some people can get grilled, depending on the interviewer. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
