Bosses want me to stay extra time in Finland, and I comply because they let me take off for 3 months to see Chuck and still come back.:( |

Efficient and quick to process papers. Helpful and accomodating (fiance was able to come too upon request). Not straight-laced.  |

| Embassy Review : |
I was suprised that I got so many questions with the officer. She went through some of the same questions that I had gone through at the interview already, and like I would have forgotten my then fiance's name? I was wondering a little, if I could be turned away, even with the papers that I had. Not very nice or easy treatment, IMHO. |

*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
