| Embassy Review : |
I got there around 12, and by 1 we were all in. The security guys were all "you marrying a foreigner huh?" but I honestly could not care less.. After 3 years of long distance relationship, 2 tourist visas denied and many many lonely heart songs... I was there. The Romanians were nice enough, I had the impression they would be rude, following some reviews I read.. The longest thing was the wait. Somehow I ended up being last at the interview, I had been there for around 2:30 hrs and I was still waiting, hearing other people talk, listening in on their questions. Finally, I had my interview with a young blond American (the same who denied my tourist visa a year before) and it went smooth. At a certain point, after a few very nice, calm and haha-hihi questions she changed tone and suddenly asked me "so, i didn't get this right, when was the last time you saw your fiance?" I think it was meant to intimidate me, because I had already told her I had seen him a couple of weeks before, for my B-Day. I answered very calmly and smiling. Then she smiled and said "everything looks OK here, we'll have to look into a few things and then you should be good." Overall, a nice enough experience, but I had my stomach in a knot the whole time. I guess it's just normal. Got my visa immediately. javascript:emoticon(' ') |

*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.
