    Approved visa pending medical results, I accidently only had business 6 days between medical and interview as I thought my medical was a week earlier  
 
Edit: Visa medical never sent my report as they wanted my vaccines so I told them to defer them and they sent the medical out on the 27th and I got an approval notice on the 29th and it was issued on the 3rd of September  | 
   
   
    Processing Estimates/Stats : | 
    Your I-129f was approved in 219 days from your NOA1 date. 
  Your interview took 386 days from your I-129F NOA1 date. |

    | Embassy Review : | 
    Took the train down to Vauxhall station, and took a 15 minute walk, had to get passport photos as mine were UK sized whoops :/ ended up stopping in the coffee shop just before the embassy to get the photos cut they were super nice and let me borrow their scissors. 
 
I got to the embassy 45 minutes early and decided to que up as it was busy once I got to the little booth they have they instructed me to skip the line which felt honestly so messed up but I did. Security was easy told me to open my phone on the clock or calendar app then told me to put my bag through the scanner and for me to take a sip of my drink. 
 
I get up to reception and they ask for the ds160 and my passport they give me a little sticker and tell me to go up to the lift take a left and another left to find the number that was stapled on my ds160. 
 
I sit and wait to be called took a good 20 minutes he was very lovely and I think he appreciated me sorting my files into neat piles. After that I sat for a good 45 minutes waiting for my interview once I got called up she was very nice asked me to swear I would tell the truth and asked me how we met, how the relationship progressed, when and how did he propose, where is the wedding, have we met families, and when did we last meet. She said I was approved but the medical is late so she gave me a green 221g 
 
Overall very nice alot of waiting tho! |

*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.
