Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Naples, Italy Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : December 1, 2022 Embassy Review : I had a great experience overall. Everyone was very nice. The medical went smooth as well. The visa interview was about 5 minutes long. I felt over prepared because they only asked for certain documents and very few questions about my fiancé, which I found interesting. I was approved on the spot. I give my experience a 10 out of 10 Rating : Very Good

*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
