| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at 8.15 am and joined the queue. Got into the embassy about 8:50 am.
Waited untill 10:20 to be called to window 14, asked for originals of birth, divorce and marriage certificates. They accepted a copy of my marriage certificate in conjunction with an accompanying letter from the divorce court saying they could not provide a certified copy, as the original had still not arrived from St Lucia. I also had to fill in a D157.
Back to waiting for about 45 minutes then called for the interview took about 4 minutes and APPROVED  |

| Embassy Review : |
Took about 15 minutes in total including the queuing 
I was dealt with by the immigration officer at passport control. He opened the package and checked through the forms. Only comment he made was that the London embassy hadn't filed them in any sensible order. He took my fingerprints and photograph, then he stamped my passport, crossed through my visa and stapled my I-194 inside with "admitted solely to marry fiance name" on the back.
Very polite and stress free. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
