4. was allowed inside with opaque briefcase and food for my 2 year old son.
5. Went upstairs to 19th floor to window 25 to take a number.
6. waited 40 minutes to be called to window to submit documents ( had submitted most original documents with p3) - was not asked for affidavit of support, tax returns/w2 or IRS forms/transcripts. was asked for recent original employment letter.
7. waited 40 minutes to be callled to the interview room. Lasted less then 5 minutes - asked about size of company, how I got the job, where wife intend to work, where in US was my son born. My son who had been patient all this while started getting fussy and irritable at this moment- officer said that everything was in order and I should pay the visa fees.
8. Paid 2 x $65 fees and was told to comeback a t 3 pm to pick up visa as computers were down.
