| Embassy Review : |
The medical examination took place the same day as the interview. I had to be at the doctor's office at 8am -- it was literally a 5 minute walk away from the US Embassy which was helpful. I fainted (as usual) after the blood test, but the nurse was very kind and she arranged a chair for me outside so I could recover prior to the examination itself. The TB x-ray was fine -- just your bog-standard x-ray, nothing special. However, the examination was possibly one of the most demeaning things that I've ever encountered -- having a strange male doctor performing a thorough, intimate, examination was absolutely vile. Why the hell they don't have a female doctor on staff for the women is beyond me. I am still angry that I was subjected to this.
The "interview" at the US Embassy took about 5 minutes -- they didn't even want to see the affidavit of support (evidently if you're both MIT graduates then you should have no problems supporting yourself, according to the official who was dealing with me!) I think I embarrassed the official, though, when I stated "excellent, so I don't have AIDS then!", when I was granted the visa, seeing as that was what the blood test was all about. God only knows what happens if the test returns positive. All in all, I was incredibly relieved to have all of this over with and wouldn't wish my experience on anyone else. |

*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.
