Preparing was difficult. I had 2 notebooks, one was originals, one was copies. The interviewer took a copy of a few documents, no originals. Asked very few questions. The more organized the better. Quick green card time. All good! |

| Embassy Review : |
Had my interview... well it was more like a Q for the Cinema. Got into the office with about 15 other people and had to wait for about 40 mintues. Then we were asked to sign a form and had to wait again. They then called us all one by one, but not into an office, just up to the top of the room, everyone could see and hear us. Went through the forms to make sure everything was okay, mine was thank God (Others weren't and were sent away until they got the paperwork right) Then an American Lady came and asked some questions like "When did you meet" etc. She was happy with my answers so i got the Visa about 30 mintues later. All in all it took about two and a half hours, the experiance itself i found them to be kind of cold and not very friendly but i guess we all have our off days, on other reviews i was told they were really nice so i guess i had one of the off days. But i go my Visa so i'm happy. |

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.
