| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview last Friday (July 16th 2010). It was scheduled for 8:30am. I arrived at 7:45am and after a short wait outside the building was directed upstairs to the waiting room. I waited about forty five minutes before I was called to one of the 'booths' where I was asked to submit all my medical files. I was also told that my photo was not acceptable as my bangs were slightly covering my forehead so I needed to bring them another photo before they could process the visa. They confirmed they had recieved all the other necessary documents and sent me back to the waiting room to wait until I was called for my interview. I waited about twenty five minutes to be called up again, and was called back to a different booth for my interview. I didn't expect the interviews to take place the way they did, with four other people lined up in booths next to me, all answering questions like I was, through the glass, straining to hear. It was very confusing as you can hear what everyone else is being asked/answering. The interview itself was the shortest part of the whole ordeal. I was interviewed by a really nice woman. She asked basic questions:
- where we met
- how we met
- how long after the first time we met did we see each other again
- what was my longest stay in the US
- she mentioned his parent's names and asked who they were
- what was my husband studying
- why we were moving to the US
- where we got married
- who was at our wedding
As far as I can recall that was about it, she handed most of the forms back to me and almost as an afterthought asked to see some pictures of us. She singled out a few and asked me where they were taken. Satisfied, she took my passport and told me to go and take a new photo and bring it back as soon as possible as it was the only thing delaying my application. Then she gave me an estimate of two weeks for the visa to be ready.
It took a long time to get to the interview itself but it was the quickest and most painless part of the whole process so far. Good luck! |

*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.
