| Embassy Review : |
The interview was a bit of an anticlimax after going through the whole petition and application process...
I was able to reschedule my interview as I was traveling on my original interview date (see posts about that experience)
At the embassy, I got through security quickly and you can skip the line at the reception even though it wasn't that long when I was there. I was called to the desk rather quickly to hand over all my documents. When I got called again some 10min later, I thought it was just to return the originals of my documents. But then he asked me to swear the truth and the interview had started! I think he only asked two questions, how did I meet my wife and when we were planning on moving. It only took a few minutes, and then he congratulated me and told me they'd approve the visa! He gave me back my original documents and that was it.
My interview was on a Friday, and on Thursday I was able to pick up my passport with visa in it at the courier center in London. |

Timeline Comments: 2The RFE on our I-130 was to send in our marriage certificate (see https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/794045-i-130-request-for-evidence-marriage-certificate/?), even though we had submitted it with the original application. The RFE letter also had our marriage date wrong. We replied through paper mail with a copy of the marriage certificate and a letter explaining they had the date wrong. Six days later the petition got approved.
Initial interview date (received 28/02/2023) was 21st of April, but I rescheduled due to travel
*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.
