| Comments : |
Was stressful only because we had a relatively short connection and there was only one person processing an entire plane of international guests. By the time we made it to the woman officer, she didn’t really ask is any questions, just processed the paperwork (didn’t really give us any information either). |

| Embassy Review : |
The whole process was very easy on the day of our interview.
We arrived 20 min. before our 10 am appointment and as soon as we walked in the door, our number was already being called.
We went up to the window and gave all of our documents to the attendant who then gave us instructions on how the rest of the visit would go. Maybe 15 min. later, my husband was called back up to give his fingerprints. 10 minutes later, he was called to another window for his interview. The woman was very firm and serious and asked him the basic questions that others have reported and the following:
-What do you do here for work?
-Where do you meet?
-How did our dating life progress, etc.?
At the end, she told him he was approved and that was it. The whole process took less than 1 hour. 2 days later, we received our packet and his passport with the visa in it.

*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.
