A lot of preparation and worrying for a few questions and a couple minutes of interview. Dan was asked about my job, the number of visits I had made to see her in China, my income level, and not much more. The officer looked over a letter I had written in support of our marriage and her immigration to the US and and he also looked at a few of our photos. The whole interview only lasted about 2 minutes. We were well prepared and it paid off :) |

Pretty smooth. They allowed me to go through the immigration line with Danhong to provide her with support during the process. The officer reviewing the documents was very nice and professional. It only took a few moments to complete. |

Long wait for the approval for the I-485. It was almost immediately transferred to the CSC and then we waited for 8 months until we were notified of the card production and shipping. I guess the lesson is to be patient. |

| Embassy Review : |
Interview was at 7:15 am. Dan arrived around 7 am and stood in a long line until 8:30 when they finally opened the gates to go inside. Once inside, some more waiting and fingerprinting until she was called to her interview. The officer complimented her on her English and asked her about my income, my job title and place of work, and the number of times I had come to visit her and the duration of the visits. She showed him a few pictures of us together and a letter I had written in support of our union. She was approved for the visa in about 2 minutes of interview time.
Overall, a very pleasant situation that was only offset by the long waiting   |

*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.
