I think Covid slowed things down somewhat. Basically took just under 5yrs from initial application to receiving green card. At the time of the green card interview they still wanted more proof of a relationship, Inspite of already having been married just under 5 yrs! We are not one of those couples that takes lots of photos together or travels a lot. Luckily we have friends who’s son is an aide to a state senator and I think that sped things up at the final post |

As of 2019 paid money for second set of Biometrics and removal of conditions. Attended Biometrics interview, September 2019. Since then nothing? Tried to contact via phone, waited 55 mins to get through only to get cut off 5 mins later. Rang back only to be told the wait to speak to someone would be another 50 mins, so gave up! |

| Embassy Review : |
Arrived 1120hrs for 1200 K1 interview. Passed through security checks ok. Lots of people in the waiting area on arrival. Everybody polite, friendly and helpful. Given a no. and waited to be called. went to booth and showed a chap my passport, interview confirmation sheet, form 160, 2 photos, original Birth certificate, name change deed poll and police check certificates (in my case two as I lived for a year in Australia). I was asked when I intended travelling to the USA and said 'August' , to which I was told that was fine as a visa issued today would be valid until October. Fingerprint scans were taken, passport kept by them and passport photos returned to me. I then returned to the waiting area to await being called again with the same no. After about 30 mins I was called again but to a different booth where a pleasant American lady asked how we met, when did we meet, where was I going to be living, where does my fiancée work and what type of work does, she do, have we met in person, why hasn't she been here....then as quickly as the questions started they suddenly stopped and she said congratulations I'm going to approve your application today now go make that phone call. NOTE* There are about 18 booths, some of which are around the corner, when your no. Is called go straight to the booth do not join any queues like one lass did and missed her turn at the booth! |

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.
** Not all cases are transfered
