Things started slow because I sent a copy of the I-129F and they wanted an original signature, Didn\'t realize we received packet 3&4 together fora couple weeks, but now the medical is 3/16 and interview is 3/30. Things are finally moving. UPDATE-APPROVED!!! |

This is the best POE. They took about 5-10 minutes to read through the papers, take the scan of the fingerprint, the quick photo, a couple of easy questions, and a stamp and on our way. We didnt even have our bags searched at customs. |

| Embassy Review : |
Parking is great because it is right at the building and you just pay $2. You cannot get into the building and must wait outside until your appointment is 45 minutes away. Then you get to go inside and wait. We waited for 2 hours to have ours and almost gave up hope until the crankiest old lady called our names. She was very to the point and started our interview. I was very worried because she was so unfriendly. Then she asked us for proof of our relationship and I gave her a copy of our checks which we had our wedding photo of my husband and I and our kids on it. Then she just started to beam and asked us where we had them done and how great it was. after that it was all a breeze and over in 20 minutes. We got the green card a week later in the mail. Smooth sailing  |

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.
