| Embassy Review : |
this interview was for my spouse who attended his CR1 interview.
I am explaining this on basis what he described to me.
He had his medical on Feb 10 and 11, 2011.
Stayed in a hotel close to the embassy and appolo hospital in chennai, India.
His interview was at 8:00 am on February 14, 2011.
He went in at 7:15 pm and there were already people waiting outside.
He was checked thoroughly and let inside. An India women asked for his appointment letter and passport. She also made him to DS 230 part II and asked to wait in the lounge.
He was again called by the Indian lady and she asked for a copy of petiotoner's passport (my passport).
After some time a white lady called him. She was very friendly and asked him
'Say something about your wife'. My husband replied beginning with my name, out data of marriage , my employement , address etc.
Then she asked for our wedding invitation card and pictures of our wedding.
Then she asked, 'What do you intend to do upon arrival in the US?'
My husband replied that he is a graduate in Material Science and Engineering and would either seek better job oppurtunites or would try to pursue higher studies if chances come by.
Then she said' I dont see any problem with your application, you visa petition is accepted and would be mailed to you in 4-5 days'.
He then received an email on February 16, 2011 saying that his visa is undergoing administrative processing under section 221g and asked him to send his professional resume, research papers and publications etc. The word doc attached in the email was titled SAO and has almost 10 questions regarding his work and reserahc experience.
We are totally lost in this black hole  |

*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.
