| Embassy Review : |
I arrived at 12H30 and found myself the only person there at that time. At 13H00 they allowed us into the security area one at a time where they took my medical reports and cellphone, scanned my bag with my files and other documentation. I was directed to the entrance and sat and waited.
After about 30 minutes and my name was called on the speaker to window 2. There i spoke to a very pleasant lady whom guided me through all they needed. She then sent me to the cashier to pay the fee and that person too was extremely pleasant. Once my card was processed I was directed to wait near window 7.
After a short wait I was called forward and took the prescribed oath, signed the 230 form, scanned fingerprints and was asked some questions. - Where did you meet, When did you meet, Does she have children, do you have children, when do you plan to leave, have you discussed or arranged the wedding yet. - That was it.
I was then told that I can come back next day between 1 & 4, or any other day except Friday.
I asked is that an approved verdict - the gentleman smiled and said "yes that's an approval"
From the first contact at the door, being security, to the lady that assisted me, to the cashier to the officer who interviewed me - Every single one was friendly and helpful. In all it was an extremely pleasant experience. |

*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.
