| Embassy Review : |
Overall the experience was better than I thought. I got to the embassy on a rainy morning at about 725am.Doors opened around 745am. Everyone on here said to get there so much earlier, but I didnt want to stand around, knowing no matter what I would be waiting inside eventually. I was 4th in line, and about 6 people came after. The first woman brough a carry on suitcase, so she had to leave and come back. Bumped me up to 3rd. I had my passport ready, and went through security, then down the steps to a dingy looking basement. I was given letter 'B' during the security check. About 5-10 mins later a guard came to take letters a-b which was myself and a couple. Then up we went to the 19th floor with a gorgeous view on Montreal. The guard was so friendly and sat us in an area near the left. I was called up about 20 mins later to give my paperwork. I was organized and prepped and even still the woman was a tad impatient. It was early on a Friday morning, so i'll let that pass. I sat down, called up again, paid at another window, sat again. Evenutally i had my interview in room 8, and that woman was so nice. It took about 10 mins.She asked how we met, what he does, what i want to do, etc. Then she welcomed me to the states. Then i hit the bathroom, which is close to the seating area if you need to run in while waiting, makes it quick and easy if youre stressed about missing your name called. I was done it all by 930am. It was quick and my best advice is to be organized as much as possible, and they'll be happy. I would say it was a painless experience for such a daunting task. |

I had a great experience at the Tucson office. My appt. was for 8am, and I got there exactly at that time knowing the doors wouldnt open until then anyways. 2 people were ahead of my but i went in 2nd for the interview. They asked a few questions about address, etc, and asked to see some evidence like joint account, lease papers. They made copies and i was approved within 10 minutes. Every person I encountered was extremely friendly and this was the easiest part of the process so far. |

*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.
