Interview was a breeze -- brought a massive stack of paperwork and photos, but they only wanted a couple bills/statements with both our names. Asked a few questions just to compare with what we had submitted in the forms and documents, but nothing serious. Approved after just a few minutes and had the passport stamped right away in case the green card didn't arrive in time for holiday travel overseas, but the green card showed up in the mail just 11 days later. |

Processing was delayed because we had to go for a second set of fingerprints on 2013-11-01 (Andrea has always had poor fingerprints and they wanted to run a second set; it's noted in the system now and we shouldn't have to deal with that again). |

| Embassy Review : |
In a nutshell, our experience at the US Embassy in London was utterly painless. My fiancée came prepared and was approved with no hassle whatsoever. The interview itself consisted of a few mundane questions that seemed more like a casual conversation than an interview that would directly impact the rest of our lives. The interviewer asked for zero additional documentation; he just took her fingerprints, had her swear she was telling the truth, and sent her on her way with a promise that he would do everything he could to expedite the return of her passport so she could catch a flight back to the US in a few days.
Our circumstances were about as straightforward as they come, with plenty of documentation of a long-term relationship and absolutely no reason to deny the visa, so your experience may vary. |

*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.
