The people were really nice and helpful (and even joking!). The guy I spoke with even explained more about coming back to visit, etc. I thanked him for all his help, and he said he was happy to do it because he appreciated that we'd done things the honest way. |

| Embassy Review : |
Small waiting room, kind of confusing. They asked for my paperwork and did pre-interview prep. Everyone had numbers and there was a sign displaying numbers being served, but I kept getting called by name? Called me up for fingerprinting. Told me I'd be waiting for 15-30 mins, but I waited for more like an hour. There was absolutely no reading material apart from a torn up childrens book and torn up Mac magazine, and I ended up sitting there by myself with the exception of the cleaning lady who vacuumed around me. Finally went up to the counter and had interview - the woman was really nice and pretty basic questions (financial, how we met, when we got engaged, etc). Looked at photos, phone records, plane tickets. She apologized for the wait, and told me my visa was approved and I talked with the first guy again who helped figure out logistics of sending visa to me. He was super helpful and even showed me the package my next paperwork will arrive in. |

*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.
