| Embassy Review : |
As many others have said, this was probably the easiest part of the whole process. Just gather the required documents and attend!
I did have a minor panic 48 hours before when I realised I had been looking at the list of required documents from the embassy website and not the NVC site. The embassy site didn't mention needing IRS tax returns, W-2's, payslips, a copy of the US citizens passport and a couple of other things so I rushed to get all of these together even though they'd already been submitted online through CEAC. Typically, when I went to the embassy they didn't ask to see any of them and only needed to see the original documents (birth/marriage/police certificate and military record).
The embassy procedure was very simple. Just turn up at the south entrance, go through security (they didn't let me through until 15 mins before the interview time). After security, don't queue with everyone there for tourist visas - go straight to the front of the line (it doesn't feel very natural to queue jump as a Brit!) and they assigned a number and instructions on where to go. The whole process took about 2 hours (mostly waiting) and involved seeing one person to take copies of original documents, then another to confirm how we met and sign some paper confirming I will sign up for the draft once I get to the US.
No more to it than that! Now I just have to wait to get my passport back  |

*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.
