Everything is pretty much well described by others...
Go to the crowded park (well before you would naturally wake up), wait for name/number, get in line, wait, fill out form while in line, wait, enter USINT, wait some more, go to an "interview" window for them to take VERY FEW PAPERS/EVIDENCE (I suggest you FORCE FEED it at this window...If they don't want it...make them take it anyway), wait breifly to be allowed to pay fees, pay fees, wait some more, get finger prints, wait some more...then THE INTERVIEW.
We walked up together for the interview, and they said that was great, but told me to go take a seat for a while. They asked my (now) wife pretty basic questions, and asked who is who in photos...then they called me up to the window and asked basic questions, and who/where is this photo taken. It wasn't too hard to pass the interview, but we were "approved pending other information". I had the information right there at the interview window, but the "lady" wouldn't look at it..."next". We tried to give this same info at the first "pre-screening" window, but "they" didn't want/need it...it's ridiculous that I had to mail the same papers from the US (via a friend courier) that neither the 1st or 2nd window would even take when I was there in person. I even went back the next day to give these papers, but they wanted them mailed apparently.
I did what they wanted, got jacked around more, then contacted the USINT chief...he helped in a hurry. It was lucky I met, and spoke with him...He actually makes things happen like/when they should.
Whatever anyone does...Don't give up. It can/will happen if you keep trying. It's just like trying to reschedule a flight or herding cats...but you will get there. Then comes the Cuban Carta Blanca...ja ja...same story...you will get there, but we suggest you start real early with every step along the way. |

No problems...
The officer did call me in Oregon from Denver, and asked if I knew this lady entering the US...He then asked if I was aware that I need to marry her within 90 as per her visa. It was very exciting for me, and I of course asked what her name was...ha ha...just kidding.
He then gave her the phone, and let us talk a few minutes to arrange logistics to pick her up in Portland, OR.
They were very welcoming, and accommodating in Denver.
Thanks Denver. |

*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.
