Was originally scheduled to go to Elizabeth, NJ on the 31st of March but Mike went early on 3/9 and had his biometrics completed. So the appointment date is not the date his biometrics were completed. This may effect the rest of the timeline so be careful comparing our timeline to others.
8/21 - Nah. Biometrics didn't change anything. |

CR1 interview - they talked about how we met -- through astronomy -- then they talked about astrophotography. The interview was short and sweet and my husband was able to pick up the Visa on the same day. All told, yet another pleasant experience!!  |

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.
