We waited approx. 3 weeks before we made airline reservations for her to ensure her approval, and to have more time for cheaper ticket, and to allow her to make necessary arrangements to say goodbye to family and friends. |

RFE was because they said we did not pay the correct fee when in fact we had. still took them a month + to show our progress decision. Could not contact anyone to discuss. |

| Embassy Review : |
My Sofia's interview was exactly the same as Shenning's Na on the 26th.
Sofia showed up nearly 8:00 for 9:30 appointment. So many people ahead of her, but I assured her that it probably wouldn't matter if all the people showed up 12 hours early, they would still have others ahead of them due to their appointment time................maybe I was wrong!....Sofia was nearly the last to show up, and was the very last to be interviewed 5 til 12:00.
The young American girl officer asked about 15 questions (nothing unusual) over about 10-15 minutes.
Sofia said she could see the PINK slip sticking out of her file through the window even before she was asked any questions!
I guess it's true, they have already determined the outcome!....and for those of you who get convinced to bring so much evidence to the interview...well, they never asked to see anything Sofia brought just in case, so, there you have it! |

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.
