Relatively hassle-free, but could have been faster. There are two immigration areas in Chicago, the window for new immigrants being in the left area. Lines in the left area are also shorter. |

| Embassy Review : |
Had my interview at 7.30 and arrived shortly after 7. Waited for 25 minutes and was the first person to receive a number. Around 8 I was called to window 23 to turn in my photo, passport, and DS-230. Received an envelope that needed to be stamped.
30 minutes later, I was called to window 20 for a document check. The lady went over the DS-230 with me and answered some questions. She looked through the other forms and took back the stamped envelope. She asked if I had already gone to the medical. When I denied ,she made sure that I would get an early interview so that I had time to visit the doctor the same day.
After another 30 minutes, I was called again to have my interview with the consular officer at window 18. He was extremely nice even though I had problems understanding him at first through the intercom. He fingerprinted me, and asked how I had met my husband. He also asked where we got married. I then had to take the oath. Finally, he went over the I-864s with me, asking some more questions concerning my co-sponsor. He was very encouraging in all respects. After the interview, he explained to me what to do when I received my visa. I left the consulate at 9.25.
The only complaint I have is that the consular officer or his assistant forgot to give me a copy of my passport which was needed at the doctor's office. The nurses were not thrilled because they had to obtain a copy through the consulate instead of having me bring it. I hope this will not cause any delays. |

*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.
