| Embassy Review : |
After getting all my paperwork done, I called the Embassy on Tuesday and they scheduled my interview on Friday that week. I guess that's one of the benefits of living in a small country.
My interview was at 9.30 which was exactly the time they called my name. The lady working there took all of my forms, passport, photos, affidavit etc, then the next person took my fingerprints and right after that, the consul called my name and my interview started. He is a very nice and polite man, and we mostly talked about my photos that he asked for first. He asked me about the places in the pictures, when I went there etc. Then he asked me about my finace, how we met, where he worked and if I met anyone from his family.
I had my plane ticket copies, chat logs, messages... he didn't want anything. Not even my fiance's pay stubs or any papers from banks... though I didn't even ask if he wanted them. 
Then, he asked if I could wait for a few more minutes, because he had some problems with getting clearance on his PC and I did, and after maybe 5-10 minutes he called me again and told me that I was supposed to get married within 90 days, otherwise I would have to leave the US. I said I understood and knew that, he said good luck etc, and his assistant gave me back my passport with my visa in it. I couldn't believe how quick they were.
The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed and all people working at the US Embassy in Sarajevo were very kind and helpful. Honestly, that something you don't expect at places like these.
Way to go Sarajevo!!! THUMBS UP!!! |

*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.
