| Embassy Review : |
I went to the interview knowing I won’t come back with the visa. I had to take extra medical tests and the results will take few more weeks. I arrived at the embassy nice and early. We were told to wait outside until 1pm.
At 1pm, they let us in, one by one. I proceeded to the waiting area where I had to wait for my name to be called. Eventually, my name was called at window 3. The lady asked for my passport, my unabridged birth certificate then she asked for my visa photos. She looked at my photos, she looked at me, looked at my photos. She told me those are not visa photos, they are passport photos. I had to run to the mall across the road and have my visa photos taken.
I ran back and went straight to window 3. I gave her my photos and she carried on with the interview. She asked:
When and where did we meet?
How often do we see each other?
When was the last time we saw each other?
I gave her some additional information as proof of relationship. She asked if I’m aware of the amount I have to pay? I said I remember reading something like that months ago. Well, she gave me a receipt for $240 and told me to go pay at the cashier. After paying I waited for another round, the final interview.
My name was called. I was asked more or less the same questions. I was then asked to take an oath and sign the DS230 form. The gentle man handed me a pink slip and told me that as soon as they receive my medical results, they will contact me so I can courier my passport.
All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.

*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.
