Local US CIS Office Review: Tampa FL Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : April 22, 2026 Embassy Review : We arrived a half hour prior to our appointment time and then waited 2.5 hours to be taken in for the interview. Our officer was very apologetic about the wait. She was very pleasant and made us feel comfortable during the interview. It felt more like a conversation than anything else (aside from the part where she asked the admissibility questions). Would have given 5 stars if not for the wait. Harassment Level : 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.
