| Embassy Review : |
My appointment letter indicated that my interview was arranged on Oct14,2009 7:15
7:10 I arrived and waited in the front of the building ( Tian Yu Garden), where already had hundred people waiting there
7:55 The security guys working for US Consulate started to let people get in the building after checking interviewee's appointment letter and passport
8:25 I was called to an assigned window to submit my documents and was asked by the Chinese lady who collected my docs Are you CCP? Have you been US? How many times? Why been to US so many times?...Have you been to HK, Macau or Taiwan?
8:40 Fingerprints
9:00 Oath
9:15 I was called up to an assigned window for interview. Wow, so early...I thought that I might be one of the first 10 people to get interviewed.
VO was a young American guy and looked quite nice. We greeted to each other and then I handed in my passport.
VO: Have you been to US?
ME: Yes, many times
He looked my visa records in my passports very carefully especially the US visa.
VO: What is your fiance's name?
ME: BAOBEI LOL
VO: When did you meet?
What does James do?
How many times did James come to China to see you?
How many times have you been to US visiting James?
What's your job?
Can I see your pictures?
After that I was told that I am approveed
He didn't ask for employer's letter, pay stubs, EOR letter, emails and chat logs from me during the interview.
I tried my best to remember everything as well as possible

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
