I went to the US Residents line (I had my IR-1 visa, my child a US passport). They sent me to a secondary waiting room for processing. We waited a little bit and they called me to take my right index finger print and signature. Within a couple of minutes I was called for an "interview" I guess. They asked how long we have been married, where my husband lived, where he worked and what he did there. That was it! Quick and easy! |

Everything went great!
We were told to come at 11am. We waited until tourist interviews were over and at 12.10 we were called to Booth 4 (a little room, really). I was asked about my husband's name, when we got married, how many times we were married, when we went to see each other, who went to see whom first, when we decided to get married, if it was a surprise to me... I had to explain if I was done with school (not yet, writing my thesis atm), when I planned to move and what I would do there. I went end of February and I did not need to present our newest tax return.
No additional documents or pictures were necessary (though I brought them, of course).
My baby started crying after 15-20 minutes and we wrapped it up. I got a phone call the next day to let me know I can pick my visa up.
DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR VALID TURIST VISA! I had left it at home in my expired passport, but it needs to be canceled without predjudice so have it with you! |

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.
