Very easy. They did't ask anything unusual. When I got home I noticed my luggage hadn't even been opened! Out of paranoia I didn't put anything illegal there, but turns out they didn't look inside. |

Consulate Review: Bucharest, Romania
Review Topic: K3 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
I was scheduled at 13.00 (like everybody else) and we entered the consular section one by one after endless security checks, with no luggage, cell-phones or other gadgets... First we were called at the counter, requested passports and then digital fingerprints. After a while I was called back to the counter and requested the papers (Affidavits of support, DS-156 with photos, photo album, evidence of the relationship - I had everything very nicely put in a folder with transparent pouches, labeled so they could see what it was, since they take the evidence and look at it without you being there to explain what they're looking at). I sat in the room waiting to be called at the counter for the interview, and at 14.30 I was called and spoke to a consul (who spoke English AND Romanian, but I chose English). It all took 2 minutes and the questions were the ordinary ones:
When did you meet and how?
When did he visit?
When was the marriage?
Where does he work?
Where will you live?
I think what mattered is that I tried to look positive and even make the consul smile a little.
Afterwards she thanked me and asked me to take a seat and wait... and I waited and waited without knowing I got the visa or not. I was interviewed second in line and given the visa first. They just called me at the counter and gave me the passport and the evidence back, saying the visa is good for 2 years and please adjust status in this period.  |

*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.
