| Embassy Review : |
As others have observed, level 10 is accessed via the lobby on level 8.
Lifts(elevators) don't open until 0730.
They started putting people through security about 0800.
I got my ticket upstairs at 0814 (time is printed on the ticket).
Everyone I dealt with was polite, efficient and tolerant of me being nervous.
All paperwork was in order (assuming this is due to the Lawyer we had in the States being good at what she does).
Passport and envelope taken when I was called up to the first window, fingerprints taken.
Called to the second window for the interview, asked how we met, how the relationship developed, what my wives name is, how did I propose, when and where were we married, what is her occupation.
I think there was a couple of other questions, can't remember them all.
Visa approved (didn't get a slip of paper as other people have mentioned, just verbal "Congratulations, your visa is approved."
Was out on the street and on the phone to my wife at 0900 on the dot - total of 46 minutes from when I got upstairs.
Celebration beer was very nicejavascript:emoticon(' ') |

*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.
