| Embassy Review : |
My appointment was at 9:30 but I got there after 8am.
Make sure to bring two passport style photos even when you have submitted
two photos to the NVC. You can take photos inside of the embassy
but it costs 1000yen.
When they call the number, the number called appears on the screen, but after the first call, they often only call the number. Even though the announcement is in both English and Japanese, they only say the booth number in Japanese.
Questions asked at the first window (when submitting documents):
Where he lives
What he does
Who the joint sponsor is (since we have one)
When I intend to go to the States
Questions asked at the interview:
When we got married
How and when we met
Where I stay in the States
The whole process took less than two hours.

| Embassy Review : |
They have separate line for new immigrants (the 2nd line from the right, which is the line for crew members and expats).
I had to wait until I was called because there were a few parties in front of me and they took long.
The procedures were simple: the officer went through the documents in the envelope, asked me when we got married, it we have any children, and verified the contact number. |

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
