Very easy interview and didn't ask for many of the documents we brought. We did wait in the waiting area for a while though... |

Used the AP 3 times to go to Canada and found that some places are easier to re-enter than others. The Detroit-Windsor tunnel was best for us. |

There was very little time between receiving our biometric appt. date (on the NOA) and the date they did the biometrics which was a bit of an inconvenience for us.
Our case was transferred from Nebraska to another service center in April. |

| Embassy Review : |
We had a painless interview on Dec. 30, 2003. I was in Korea because we had an unofficial wedding ceremony with Seung-ho's family, so I was able to go to the interview as well. We waited about 1.5-2 hours before talking with anyone, but once we did, Seung-ho was called up to the window and I went with him. We had a youngish American interviewing us who was very nice. He asked up pretty basic questions and we presented the evidence needed. This interview was very short, maybe 5 minutes. I even (naively) stated that I was in Korea because we had a wedding ceremony and he didn't bat an eye. I explained it was unofficial and he just advised that we not mention this to anyone since we were getting a K-1 visa and it could complicate that. As far as interviews go, very easy. |

*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.
