| Embassy Review : |
Good interview overall, the COVID wait sucked though. It was probably more questions than I expected, they didn't ask for anything in particular, only passport and courier bag, not even appointment confirmation. I thought I'd be one of the only ones there for some reason but there were like 4 of us, each with different times, I was first so definitely nervous, my interview was at 8:30 on a Wednesday so I flew up to Auckland on the 6am flight from Nelson.
They asked similar questions to what people on here have stated, I will say that I don't think it's what they ask but more how they present themselves and how they ask specifically that makes it feel stressful, she asked the questions fast like she was trying to trip me up on something, but all in all, got approved so it's good! relax you'll be okay too =)
Questions asked:
Who is petitioning for you today?
And who is she to you?
What does she do for work?
What's her phone number?
What do you do for work and what's your plan on doing when you get there?
How did you meet each other?
How have you been staying in contact with one another?
When was the last time you saw your fiance?
Have you met her family?
Hope this helps somebody, best of luck!

*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
