| Embassy Review : |
The process was fairly easy. My husband and I had an appointment at 10:30. We arrived at 10:10, and we were greeted by very friendly security guards. You cannot bring any food or drink (even water) into the center. We were interviewed by a woman who was feeling ill that day, so I am sure that explained why she didn't seem to be very familiar with my case (she asked if I was still a student; I am a professor). She asked for some documentation that she said was not included in our file, including my husband's divorce decree, my birth certificate, my husband's passport, and our marriage license. All of them were actually included in the packet she had, but we had the originals with us anyway, so we were able to show them to her.
Because my husband and I live in different states for work, we had supplied a lot of documentation to substantiate our marriage. This was based in part on research I did and in part on advice from an immigration attorney. The immigration official told me that next time I should provide less documentation because it is difficult to find documents when you provide so much. But she also said I should provide more documentation for travel between our two homes (there were receipts from all our flights in the file). I was a bit confused and upset about this. When I submitted the packet, it was fully organized with a table of contents and tabs, but they remove all of the tabs to put it in their files, so I suppose that is why it was difficult for her to find documents.
Because her computer wasn't working, she wasn't able to double-check that the doctor who did my medical was authorized to do it or not (I got his name from the government website, so I knew this wouldn't be an issue). She did helpfully tell us, though, that she thought everything looked good. The only questions she asked us were about how we met, how we decided to get married (who proposed), whether my family came to the wedding, and how long we planned to live in different states.
All in all it was a fairly easy process, and apart from my slight frustration about the paperwork, things went well. I received electronic confirmation the day after the interview that my case was approved. javascript:emoticon(' ') javascript:emoticon(' ') |

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.
