A painless process. I followed some of the advice of VJ and submitted all required documents with I-751. Overall pretty easy compared to other applications and forms that I have had to submit to USCIS. |

| Embassy Review : |
Hello the Visa experience was this. I awoke on the morning of the at 3:00 am with my wife, left the hotel and arrived at the convention center very early. There were 3 cars already parked at the front of the gate to get in. When they opened we drove in waited in line for another half hour to get a bus ticket and then boarded a bus to the embassy. We went inside...lots of security. We were were called to two windows the first time they made sure all of our fees were paid and the second time they asked us if we had wedding photos I showed them a single wedding album(they did not look at the photos just made sure that we had them). We waited two more hours before they called us again for the interview. They asked her a few questions simple things such as where does he work? What does he do for a living? Where does he live? Are you related? What is his address in the U.S? My wife was somewhat prepared document wise.......but I had every single peace of paper that has ever been handed to me in my entire life with me. I had three separate thick folder containing everything all of them filed and labeled so I would know where everything was and one wedding photo album.
I had with me
1. A photo copy of the original 1-130 petition
2. A photo copy of the I-129 F petition
3.All of the Notices of Action that the USCIS sent me (originals)
4.All of the NVC notices (originals)
5.I-864 Form photocopy
6.A copy of my passport + Wife's passport
7.A photo copy of form DS-230
8.Police Certificates
9.Medical Exam
10.Phone Records (bills, phone cards)
11.Bank Statements (financial documents, Retirement plan statements, Monthly banks statements
12.IRS generated tax transcripts for the past three years
13. Marriage certificate (Urdu and English copy)
14.Original Wedding invitations
15.Original receipts for the wedding (marriage hall, catering, clothes, Photographer
16.Airlines ticket for when I went to Pakistan to get married
17.A updated letters from both my work and her work stating that we are still
employed with the same companies
18.United states postal money order recipet that I used to pay all of the USCIS and NVC fees
19.A wedding album containing wedding photos and also photos of our honeymoon and also photos of me with her family
They did not ask or look at any of my documents, folders, or wedding albums. After the brief interview the person at the window took her passport said congratulation and told her she would get her visa via American express in about a week.

*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.
