| Embassy Review : |
I scheduled my appointment for 8am on 7/12
I got to the consulate at 7:20am and the line was not too long, it took me ~30minutes to get to the security control and get a ticket. After I entered the consulate I went to the first counter (no wait) and after double-checking my file and address I gave them my passport. I sat down in the waiting area until my number was called (~5 min) and then went to another counter where they went through basic information (date of birth, etc.) and explained the next steps in the process. I sat down again in the waiting area (~5 min) and then went to another counter where they conducted the interview. The interviewing officer (and all the other employees) were super friendly and helpful and made the process really easy.
At the interview they asked me the following questions (I don't remember each one specifically but this is generally what they asked, also not in the order they asked them):
- Tell me about your fiancé?
- How did you two meet?
- Why (do you want to move to) the US?
- When was the last time you saw each other?
- What do you want to do for work?
- Where does your fiancé live?
- They also double-checked that I have never been married before, don't have kids, haven't lived anywhere else, etc.
The whole interview took about 10 minutes, and it felt more like a conversation than an interview. At the end of the interview the officer told me that everything looked good and I should receive the packet containing my passport/visa in 1-2 weeks as long as the medical exam looked good (had the medical exam the day before the interview, so they didn't have the results yet).
Overall everything was super straightforward and easy and all the employees were great!

Congratulations ðŸ‘...did your case ever went to local field office?
*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.
