Easier than pie.
Three windows: the first to submit paperwork. I forgot to hand in my "proof" of ongoing relationship and an engagement. The second window for fingerprints. The third for the "interview". Turns out they didn't need my "proof" - the CO said she believed me. I was done in 10 minutes flat. The wait overall was over 3 hours, but the actual interview was cheese.
I'd say it's true that their minds are made up before you even get there for the interview.
My advice? Just don't lie. Be up front, honest and open. |

POE Review: Miami

| Embassy Review : |
We were worried because there was just over 2 and a half hours between arrival in Miami at approximately 9:10am and our connecting flight (one a day) to our final destination which departed at 11:40am.
As soon as we entered the immigration hall, my fiance asked at the assistance counter whether my being on a K1 would allow us both to be processed together in the US citizens line. Luckily, it did. Even more luckily, there was no one in the newly open booth that we were directed to and we were seen straight away.
At the booth, he took the not-so-mysterious-now-that-I-have-seen-it envelope from me, my passport, my finger prints and photo, did some entry on the computer and stamped some papers and then escorted us to a glassed in area to the right of the hall. There was one family ahead of us. It took the officer about 15 minutes to start the processing of their papers, and they were finished in about 20 minutes.
Next up: us. My fiance and I sat doing word puzzles while we waited. 10 minutes after we knew he had started our case, he called my fiance over, handed him my passport, they exchanged a few words and that was it. We were released to customs.
Done in under an hour. |

*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.
