| Embassy Review : |
The Interview was not stressful at all. The hardest part was waiting for 2 hours. When first arriving to the Consulate in Vancouver, I went through 2 security check points which included metal detectors. When I finally got to the waiting area, I sat for about 20 minutes before being called up. The first person I spoke to, asked for all documentation. Word of advice: make sure to have a photocopy of your birth certificate, signed Affidavit of Support and any evidence of your U.S Fiance(e)'s income. ie. tax returns, paystubs, bank letters, employment letter etc. After handing all documentation to the first lady, I went back to the waiting room to wait. About half hour later, I was called up to have my fingerprints taken. That took about a minute, and then I was sent back to wait again. Finally after another half hour or so, I was called up for the actual interview. I was asked to read a few paragraphs on the DS 156K and then the last paragraph was an oath that I had to read out loud. The interview portion took no more than 10 minutes. The questions I was asked were:
- Where did you and your fiance meet?
- When did you meet?
- When did you officially declare that you were together?
- When did you get engaged?
- When is the wedding?
- What does your fiance do for a living?
- How much does you fiance make?
- Where does your fiance work?
- What do you do for a living?
- Are you going to work when you permanently move to the U.S? And what job will you do?
- Do you have any evidence here of your Bonafide relationship? (I had photo's. She quickly skimmed them asked about a picture of me, my fiance and my niece)
After all questions were asked, she quickly skimmed security checks on her computer and said that no criminal records came up. Then she said, I was approved! She told me to speak to her colleague at window B for pick up information. I was told I could pick up my visa on Thurs! |

*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.
