Comments : We expedited our case on medical reasons.

My interview was scheduled for 12:30pm, I got to the embassy around 10am. They started screening us into the embassy around 11am. After I entered the consular's office, my documents were collected and I later went to take an oath and biometrics. I was later interview by an African American woman. The following are the questions that I was asked.

1) Who is filling for you?
2) What is his name?
3) How did you meet?
4) When did you meet for the first time? (My husband and I met through a mutual friend)
5) What activities did you do during his first visit?
6) Who were the people around from his family during your wedding?
7) Have you met his dad and mum before?
8) What is his life like in the US?
9) What job is he doing presently?
10) Where is he working?
11) Show me your wedding album.

NB: When you are going for the interview make sure you go with a lot of evidences especially pictures, chats and call logs. I made sure I printed out our phone picture and I also went with our wedding album. Some people had issues because they didn't go with enough evidences.

Also, men going for interview should know a lot about their wives even states and cities that are close to where she is living. If you propose on the first visit, you should be able to give a good reason why you proposed to someone you have never seen before. The men that did in my presence were asked a lot of questions that were really scary.

Congratulations!! Please, when you went for interview and they approved at the interview did your visa status ever show "Administrative Processing"? And how long did it take for the status to show issued?
Sean74187 on 2022-08-10 said:
Thank you @Chinny95. Yeah, my status also showed 'Administrative Processing". I had my interview on a Friday, it changed from 'Administrative Processing" to 'Issued' the following Tuesday, that was the same day I got an email from DHL to picked my passport up.

*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
