| Embassy Review : |
1. Waited in the office for a few hours. Being that it's costa rica, no surprises.
2. After being in Costa Rica for 10 years, I was actually surprised at how organized things seemed to be. It actually didn't feel like "big government" when in the office or needing to call them, probably because we could actually get responses to emails or phone calls within 24 hours. Not perfect, but considering the normal timelines, no serious complaints.
3. Overall, the interview was through teller-window type situation, and no issues at all. Passport was mailed to the post office about 4 or 5 days later.
4. ** MAJOR ** -- so we arrived in Texas, and did not expect this, but she was pulled away for an interview. The wait was 90 minutes and the interview was 15 minutes (without me -- they would not let me attend and asked me to leave the immigration area -- which meant if there was an issue, I really had no idea how I could get back inside. Anyway, we are a very "vanilla" type case with no red flags or concerns, so again, things went well other than almost missing our connection flight.
I would HIGHLY advise anyone coming across the border via a connecting flight, get a connection that keeps you on the ground a minimum of 4 hours. Even if you get done in 2 hours, the stress of almost missing a flight just isn't worth it.

*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.
