| Embassy Review : |
Pay attention to the prohibited items listed on USTravelDocs- No cell phones, laptops or other electronics.
Very busy Embassy. Took 40 minutes to get through security stages. Interview scheduled for 6:30, waited until 8:30. Interviewer visibly annoyed and frustrated during interview. Said "I want to hurry" when beneficiary was providing her the requested original documents.
Given a 221g for lacking i-864 supporting documents-- which was uploaded to CEAC and present at interview (but perhaps lost in translation).
From the faces in the embassy, a lot of denials were happening. |

*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.
