I’m very excited. Praise God!!!
My interview was During the Pandemic in October of 2020.
There’s a queue outside the gate and we had to pass through security.
Before then, an officer came from inside the consulate to check the requirements of all interviewees. In additional to that, the interviewee must verify his/her identity and confirm interview date with the security. Before you get into the Consulate, you must pass through US airport-like security check.
When I got to the interview hall, my documents were checked that’s evidence to proof Bona fide marriage. Also some of the documents of sponsors. Then the best part of this was the final interview itself. I was privileged to meet this wonderful American God-sent woman of color. So nice! My opinion is I believe she is a mother and has the heart of gold. She approved my visa. When I got home I prayed for her and her career. I am now in the US with my family. |

Timeline Comments: 3Hi people.
What will happen if i later as NVC for a change of place for my consular interview? How positive does this affect me?
Hi guys! Glad to see you were approved! Did you make it over the states yet?
Yes I did. I am already 5+ months in the US already. I am enjoying my family. To God Be All the Glory.
*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
