| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at 6:30am and left around 2:30pm. Everything was smooth and easy. Unfortunately we were put on AP, but that was not the Consul's fault (nor anyone elses for that matter). AP only lasted 30 days and we were informed via e-mail on a weekly basis as to the status of our AP.
After 30 days, AP was over but we needed to file form I-212 with local office. I-212 was approved in 27 days. Second Interview scheduled with Consulate to turn in Passport and copy of approved I-212. Got there at 7:00am and left at 11:30am. Very easy, very nice people and very helpful. God luck to everyone.  |

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.
