O'hare -- kind of a pain, but mostly due to complications in fiancee's background. Nothing serious. Took her about 90 minutes to get from the plane to the arrival hall. |

| Embassy Review : |
We were very apprehensive about the interview after reading the horror stories of people who get denied but have a real relationship.
However, we felt well-prepared and I made the trip to China to be with her during the interview time and attend the American Citizen Hour the prior week.
My impression of the embassy is that they are swamped with applications and really do not have the time to dedicate to each case that cases probably deserve, but the officer I met during ACH was pleasant and answered my questions. I met another officer who notarized something for me, and he was businesslike and a little cool, but again, I think they are always overburdened with work.
The officer that my fiancee dealt with during her interview was businesslike, not warm, but not rude. Her interview lasted about 7 minutes and he spent most of the time reviewing the photographs and reading the letter I had notarized the week prior. The questions he asked were pretty easy ones, like how many times I'd visited, how we met, etc.
In the end, she passed, and received her passport with the visa via EMS only 2 days after that. (She lives near Guangzhou) |

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.
