| Embassy Review : |
MLC Centre easy to find. Level 10 easy to get to. Security screening thorough and I found it very easy as I did not take anything with me except for my documents. They even commented and thanked me for making my security check so easy.
The lift to Level 59 absolutely flys! It was so fast! Security checks you again.
Take a ticket for visas and take a seat.
I was called quickly to the first counter. Photo taken from me (only 1), pre-paid envelope taken, fingerprints taken, medical taken. Very quick, efficient. Gentleman was pleasant. Sat back down.
About 5 mins later called to another counter. Very friendly, kind and understanding lady. She looked through the original petition, civil documents and affidavit. Delightful lady to speak with and made me feel really comfortable. I was overwhelmed and she certainly understood that the process can be draining. I commend her on her professionalism and compassion.
Then informed that everything was in order and I was approved.
Walk back out the same door you came in, pop in the elevator back to level 10 and then leave.
If you are worrying about this step in the process, don't. It was really very a wonderful experience.

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.
** Not all cases are transfered
