We are so sincerely grateful for this site - the information is invaluable, the timeline tool makes the process fun (almost!) and the sense of "shared community" is a huge added bonus. Well done! |

Took about 3 months longer than posted on USCIS site; needed to make InfoPass appt and go to Pittsburgh Immigration Office to get 1 yr extension stamp in passport. So: delayed, but only slight inconvenience. |

Could not have been easier. Not a single question asked during secondary screening. took about 1 hr to review packet, then stamped Amy's passport, and said "There you go ..." - not even a reminder to get married, nor a welcome to the US - but I'm not complaining!  |

| Embassy Review : |
My wife and I were able to actually walk to our appointment since we coincidentally live in the neighborhood ... we made an InfoPass appointment because we hadn't yet heard on our application for Lifting of Conditions, and it had been more than 3 months since the estimate for CR89 timeline from the VSC.
Only one other couple ahead of us, we were seen within 10 minutes of our InfoPass appointment, and easily got a 1 yr extension stamped in my wife's passport. The clerk handed my wife the citizenship packet and said "Here's the next step, sweetie ..." as we were leaving ... a nice touch!
As luck would have it, her 10-yr I-551 approval came less than 2 weeks later anyway :-)
Very positive experience overall - even the security guards were friendly.
Yet another reason to love our (new) hometown! |

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.
