| Comments : |
Requested expedite at NVC through congressional rep due to duress caused by unusual processing times at USCIS (9 months to release I-130). Request was granted. Materials arrived in Paris. Emailed after a couple of weeks to see what we should do for appointment, then received email instructions with PDF letter, scheduling calendar, etc. |

| Embassy Review : |
We had a positive exeprience with an approval after a 14 month (approx) process. However, we had a few bumps in the road at the consular level.
The embassy approved an expedite request out of NVC. I waited a couple of weeks to see if my husband would get a local letter for his appointment. Nothing happened. I e-mailed the embassy and received a self-scheduling calendar.
Husband arrived based on that scheduling system and confirmation, but we discovered the schedulers and the actual embassy employees had not converged/spoken about the apppontment. Big mess! Big! However, on the sunny side when I called and asked (urgently) for a person to correct this, an employee scheduled him for the next available slot 2 weeks later. Readers, this was an emotional few days!
Husband received a preparatory call from
an embassy analyst to make sure his file was in order and to speak a little about the calendar snafu.
His appointment was smooth with documents in order. We prepped a joint sponsor, but it was not called upon. A great end to a long and winding road. |

*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.
