No Consulate : Armenia Marriage (if applicable): I-130 Sent : I-130 NOA1 : 2020-01-07 I-130 RFE : I-130 RFE Sent : I-130 Approved : 2020-12-21 NVC Received : Received DS-261 / AOS Bill : Pay AOS Bill : Receive I-864 Package : Send AOS Package : Submit DS-261 : Receive IV Bill : Pay IV Bill : Send IV Package : Receive Instruction and Interview appointment letter : Case Completed at NVC : 2021-02-10 NVC Left : Consulate Received : 2021-10-14 Packet 3 Received : Packet 3 Sent : Packet 4 Received : Interview Date : 2021-11-10 Submit Review Interview Result : Approved Second Interview (If Required): Second Interview Result: Visa Received : US Entry : Comments : My interview was at 8:45am and I arrived at 8:25. The security guard let me in early because the interview center wasn't at capacity yet. I would highly recommend trying to get there before your interview time. Even if they don't let you into the building, you'll reserve your spot in line and will wait a lot less on the back end. I left my phone in the lockers provided, went upstairs, took my ticket number, and waited until 9:30 until I was called to a desk. They asked for my birth certificate, marriage certificate, and spouse's 2020 tax return.I also was able to update my address and my spouse's address. I then sat down and waited another 10-15 minutes until I was called to another booth for the interview--which lasted about 7 minutes total. The kind officer asked pretty standard questions: -My spouse's name -Where and when we met -Which countries I've visited in the past 5 years -What I intend to do for work when I move -and a few other questions along those lines And that was it! He said he intended to approve my visa and gave me instructions for tracking my passport&visa in the mail. So my main advice is get there early if you can (15-20 minutes early). The process still took almost 90 minutes for me, but I would anticipate that it would take significantly longer with later appointment times. The room was at capacity (around 40 people) by about 9:15, and when I left around 10am, there were 3 or 4 people waiting outside. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 349 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 673 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.
