| Embassy Review : |
I was there 08:00 and got it 15 min after.
I was the first in line and only in line at the time.
I went to all the security stuff. WOW it´s a big Embassy!!
I came inside and went to the window, at that time i was thinking "all is fine, i have all my papers"
I was then asked for:
Passport
MC
BC his and her (And there was the problem.)
Chat log
Pictures
JS AOS and financial papers
Military Papers
Waiver of old GC
As i said, BC (My bc) was the problem, i somehow left it at home, with some other papers in a "backup" folder.
So i was told to sit back down, they looked over my papers and called me back to another window.
Here i got my fingerprints taken and was asked:
Where did you meet your wife?
Why was she in Denmark?
What does she do for living?
What will you do for living?
What about your kids?
That was it.
I was then put in AP - the 221(g) and was told they need to have the BC for them to approve my case.
The last thing i was told was that i had to mail it to them and when they got my paper, they will do my passport and mail it to my in the Envelop that i addressed to my self as the first thing after handing in papers.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
