Got to immigration and the man took the envelope, ripped it open, stamped a few documents, stamped passport, explained that any further correspondence with immigration should be directed to the USCIS with alien #. Did not take the xray--didn't even look at it. All in all, a very fast and painless experience! |

Fast and easy, we were blown away! We did not go to a civil surgeon, just sent in the DS-3025 and never got an RFE! |

| Embassy Review : |
Phill's interview was at 9:30am and he got into the building and had his number by 9:07am. He said he waited in this large waiting area and sat there until about 11:25am before his number was called. Once he was called, he went to the window and handed the girl the forms she asked for which were: affidavit of support+supporting evidence from me and our co-sponsor (they didn't ask for it, but he gave it to them anyway), 1 copy police certificate, 1 copy birth certificate, passport, and 2 passport sized photos. They didn't look at my employer letter or our evidence of relationship info. Then she took his finger prints (4 on each hand then two thumb prints) but the machine was broke, so she sent him over to pay the $131. He came back and got his fingerprints sorted out. Gave him a pink form to fill in for the courier and he sat and waited for 45 mins to be called again. This time he went to the interview window and had a pleasant American woman who had him sign the DS forms from packet 3, took left hand fingerprints to make sure he was still the same person, and asked him general questions about our relationship and plans for after he moves to the states. The interview took all of 5 minutes with her saying "you're approved!" and then he took the pink form to the courier desk and paid £14.50 for delivery of the visa which should arrive within 3-5 working days. Kept his passport, which he will get in the mail with his visa. Security was tight, but only took him 5-10 mins to get through with his briefcase with our binder of paperwork inside. He was able to leave the embassy around 1:00pm and made his 2:07pm train back to Liverpool! All in all, a pleasant experience which made the whole situation less stressful.  |

*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.
