It was just like all the other reviews stated. Went through the line with everyone and then was sent into the room for further processing. Asked a couple of questions and done. The process took about one hour because there were a lot of people getting off multiple planes that landed around the same time. |

| Embassy Review : |
My wife had to transfer her visa interview from Russia to Warsaw due to the embassy in Moscow basically shutting down. The consulate was amazing and very helpful in taking our case. My wife showed up and they were very busy. They only took the marriage certificate, birth certificate and the general documents at the first window. They did not ask for any of my financial documents. They didn't even look at any of the pictures which was kind of disappointing because we went through a lot of effort picking the best ones and getting them printed:-). She finished the in-processing and sat down expecting a couple hour wait. Luckily the wait was short and she went to the second window. They only asked when we met, our last vacation and what I did for work. It was a very short interview and she was approved and done. The big issue os that apparently they have changed how you get your visa. Before you could come back the next day and pick it up. Now there is a 3-5 day wait. My wife was really worried and stressed out but they were really great at the embassy and we have zero complaints. I would still make sure to take everything on the checklist...better safe than sorry. Like other reviews, it was chilly inside. I am glad we got to go to this embassy. It seemed like almost everyone was from Russia! Good luck everyone! |

Timeline Comments: 4We submitted an expedite request for a. minor child that needed to be enrolled in college and also a job change for myself that would be extremely more difficult without her being home because it involves a lot of travel. The NVC was great...WAY better than the USCIS!

Congratulations !!! Very nice everything worked fine for you , even the long wait is hard.
I'm still waiting for our approval here so we can go to the stage !!(NVC )
I'm lucky my wife and my kids are residents here in Brazil and we can wait for this process not being apart
Yeah, the waiting is the absolute worst part. Good luck...the NVC stage is much nicer than the USCIS!!!
Congrats on the approval and finally getting US entry!
*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.
