The Canada Post Strike really messed me up, so I got a huge delay getting my passport back. I got approved October 24 & I searched online, it said I had 6 months to come in to the US since approval. I literally booked my flights for March 11, (1 month before the 6 month mark) but when I finally got my passport, it said that the VISA expires on March 1st so I had to rebook my flight and I got charged nearly $700 to change my flights :( Learn from me and don't do that. YOU HAVE 5 MONTHS NOT 6 MONTHS TO GET TO THE US |

Please see Insta: @ggtambols for updates/questions!
You're scheduled for x time, but once you get in, there's multiple booths where people are doing their interview. I was #521 in queue and by the time I got inside the building, They were still at #512. Was inside for about an hour and my fiancé was waiting for me outside thinking it was only going to be 15 mins. They will not let your fiancé in and you won't have your phone to let them know when you're done hahah. The interview only took around 15 mins total, and the questions were really simple. They didn't even look at my proof of relationship!
* Note that I am a Canadian citizen, and we've been together 8 years at the time of interview.
Documents they looked at:
- Birth certificate
- Affidavit of support
- Letter of Approved petition
- Proof of petitioner's residence (we used his driver's license)
- Passport
- Police Report
- 2 Passport Photos
- My medical exam (I didn't bring it because their provided doctor sent it straight to the Embassy)
Questions:
General Information DOB/address/etc. of yourself and partner
How did you two meet?
Have you been to the US? How many times have you been to the US?
What do you/partner do for a living? Financial situation.
Educational background?
Have you had previous marriages/kids?
When was the last time you've seen him?
How long have you been together?
All in all, I was surprised that they didn't really want to see the proof of relationship. I literally brought as much proof as I could. I cried when they said I was accepted, and I'm super excited to be with him soon! |

*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.
