| Comments : |
Started with our son's CRBA application. Seeing how smoothly it went, we felt encouraged to start my wife's IV application process. There were multiple complications, I was working with a company in India. Did not exactly meet domicile requirements, since I did not own or lease a house in the US. My only US income to show was a savings bank account and a 401k account.

| Embassy Review : |
This was a very tense interview for us. I did not quite meet domicile requirements, since I was not renting or owning a home in the US and was working in India at that time. I only had a bank account, credit cards and a 401k account. I luckily got a job offer literally about 10 days before the interview (yay! for contacts).
I emailed the consulate before hand to check if we could bring our 7 month old son to the interview, since he would not stay with anyone else. They were very good about it and sent us a letter which was really useful in convincing the security at the gate.

*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.
