Consulate Review: Naples, Italy Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 18, 2015 Embassy Review : In Italian, for English please feel free to contact me through private message. Ciao a tutti, anche io a lasciare una recensione sulla visita medica e il colloquio al consolato. Che dire? Appena stata approvata, e sono super emozionata e felice. Partiamo dalla visita medica: ieri (visita) ed oggi (colloquio) saremmo stati in totale 10 persone..ovvero eravamo in pochissimi. Quindi niente fila né per visita né per il colloquio. All'Istituto sono arrivata alle 7:45 ed ero la quinta. All'inizio ti chiamano all'accettazione con il tuo passaporto,e poi ti fanno accomodare. Prima ti chiamano per un piccolo prelievo (infermiera super dolce e bravissima, non sentirete nulla), poi ti fanno accomodare e ti chiameranno per il check sulle vaccinazioni. Io ho portato la copia del mio libretto delle vaccinazioni che ha facilitato a loro il compito, e siccome siamo a Novembre dovevo fare l'antinfluenzale. C'è chi ha dovuto fare altre due vaccinazioni, quindi sono stata fortunata. Dopodiché si paga in contatti subito, o con carta all'accettazione nuovamente. Poi si passa ai raggi X, che durano 2 secondi. Io ho dovuto togliere maglietta e reggiseno, ma mi hanno fatto lasciare i pantaloni e scarpe addosso. Dopo i raggi c'è la visita generale dove ti compilano il DS (voglio che si trova nel Packet 3, e che è inutile stampare e compilare perché mi hanno detto che adesso fanno tutto loro, quindi potete anche non portarlo), poi controllo del peso e altezza, respiro, linfonodi. Poi se portate degli occhiali ovviamente portateli alla visita. Io dovrei portarli, ma non lo faccio e me lis ono scordati a casa, quindi mi hanno messo 12/20...ma non si è rivelato un problema affatto. Giorno dopo, avevo colloquio alle 9, ma il giorno prima alla visita medica mi hanno detto che ce l'avevo alle 8, quindi indecisa mi sono presentata alle 7:30....ero la prima. Essendo in 10 alla fine. Sono entrata per seconda, perché si danno precedente a donne incinta o con bambini. Io ho portato con me cellulare e chiavi dell'albergo. Il cellulare te lo fanno depositare in una cassetta di sicurezza con numerino, che utilizzerai all'uscita per il ritiro. Le chiavi ho potuto portarle con me. Dopodiché si entra nel palazzo al secondo piano, e con il numero che ti hanno dato all'entrata, verrete chiamati allo sportello. C'è ne sono due: al primo si consegnano tutti i documenti del packet3 e si prendono le impronte digitale. Il colloquio l'ho fatto interamente in italiano, non ti chiedono neanche se preferisci in inglese o meno. Poi passato a questo sportello, ti riaccomodi e verrete chiamati al secondo e ultimo sportello per le domande inerenti al tipo di visto. Il Console donna è favolosa, super dolce, non vi preoccupate minimamente che possa essere crudele. E' stata carinissima. Mi ha chiesto: - Come vi siete conosciuti? - Quanti anni avete? - Che lavoro fa il tuo fidanzato? E basta...tre domande e poi mi ha detto che il mio caso era super semplice (dal momento che io avevo vissuto in America già un anno), e che ero APPROVATA! Mi ha detto che riceverò il visto in 5 giorni. Al colloquio vi daranno anche la busta medica con la vostra scheda compilata il giorno prima dal medico, e i raggi X da presentare in America quando farete l'AoS. In più a casa riceverete una busta sigillata che assolutamente non dovrete aprire da consegnare al POE in aeroporto. E questo è quanto. Spero di essere stata utile, e vi auguro tanta fortuna, amore e felicità. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: JFK Event Description Entry Date : 2015-12-09 Embassy Review : Arrived at 1:35pm at JFK. No line at all. It took few minutes to be insert in the system. Then I followed her In a big room where they make control on visa and passport I guess. I had my wedding dress with me so They didn't ask me questions about me and my fianceé...they just remind me to get married within 90 days. I had a connection flight to get...at 3pm I was already at the gate. All great! Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Detroit MI Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : May 27, 2016 Embassy Review : On May 25, 2016 I had my AoS Interview to be granted for a 2 years Green Card. We get in at 2:25pm, the exact time of my interview, and we got called right away. Everybody were super friendly (from the guards at the entrance to the front desk). The IO was really nice, and you could tell he just wanted to be over with the interview because, as he told us, he already interviewed more than 20 couple that day. He really didn't ask us much questions, he asked me to confirm information that I put in the I-485 AoS, and he asked my husband when he came to Italy, and how we met. That's pretty much all. I noticed he was observing our posture, especially when I reached my husband hand and I put my head on his shoulder (we were sitting right next to each other), I noticed he gave an importance to that gesture. So, body language is really important also in this kind of interview! He made us do an oath, and he asked me if I had support documents to add. I gave him: photos, text, join tax refund and joint health insurance. He told us that this Friday (today) he would review all the interview made that day, and he will most likely grant the Green Card. He told us to remember to file for Removal of Conditions before 90 days of expiration of the Green Card, and we were good to go!! We were out after about a half hour. Really quick! Everybody easygoing! Good luck to everyone! Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
