| Embassy Review : |
After reading so many helpful reviews, I decided to post our experience. Our appointment was at 830am and we got to Goulds about 710. They were open and it was an easy drop off of our electronics because we were there early. It also only cost £3. We then went to the embassy and stood in line. There was already a pretty good crowd by the time we got there. It was very organized and since we contacted the embassy before our interview that I would be joining, they also let me through security with him by showing my passport. Once we were in the embassy we were assigned I-904. We waited about 30 minutes until they started calling names. The speaker is still broken and the screen wasn't on, so there was a lot of confusion in the room. Once the screen was working, things settled down. We were called at exactly 830, and were greeted by the famous Asian Women. She was as reported a very soft talker and really sweet. I told her what we had read on the forums about her and she wanted me to tell everyone that she speaks softly to ease people's nerves. She asked for passport, birth certificate, police report, affidavit of support and copies of the birth certificate, police report and passport. She also took my fiancé's fingerprints. Once we departed her, we them waited 1.5 hours until the next interview. We were then called to a window with a calm, muted American women. She swore my fiancé in, asked if I was his fiancée then asked how we met. Once she was happy with our answer, she asked about jobs and how we would support ourselves in the states. She asked if we lived together. She repeated the question about when we first met and changed the year to try and switch us up. She then told us we were approved and that we would get an email telling us when to pick up our visa. Really crazy that 7 months of waiting lead to 2 two minute interviews and we were done. Now on to America, getting married and starting the next round of paperwork. |

*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.
