The AOS interview in Buffalo NY took all of about 10 minutes. The officer was a lovely lady and it was certainly a lot more relaxed than the K1 interview. Both very, very happy!!! |

| Embassy Review : |
Approved in Sydney!!!!!!!!!! 
All went smoothly and I think it had a lot to do with having all the papers well organised, it was much appreciated by the consulate staff.
Number 1. You cannot get to the 10th., floor of MLC building until 7.45am because of some kind of security block on lifts. Once there you need interview letter and they do a quick securtiy check which is quite painless. When u clear security u are taken to the 59th., floor where u clear more security and hand over your mobile phones. Staff were really nice.
Number 2. Take a number and for K1 it is an immigrant visa number, take a seat and sit and wait till your number comes up. My interview time was 8am but I think by the time i got my first call 45 minutes had elapsed.
Number 3. Called up again just to let me know paperwork was all good and she couldn't see any problems and to let me know my name would be called up again sometime soon. A really sweet girl.
Number 4. My name called and once to interview booth a few questions asked about when and where we met etc., etc.,. A very nice lady once again whom was quite happy to answer a couple of questions i had too. I had so many pics and other stuff as evidence of our relationship but none was needed and I walked out of there a happy girl. Looking back i wonder why i was so stressed about the whole thing because it was all fine.
Number 5. Words of advice; make sure all your documents are in the correct order and copies are done ( i also tabbed mine at the bottom of pages with sticky things to make it easier for them)and be prepared for a reasonably long wait. I was there around 3 hours all up. Hey and enjoy the amazing view!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck! |

*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.
