Yes it is a wonderful feeling with lots of prayers gone into it. But thank God he never fails. My husband and kids had a pleasant experience and answered the questions well. My husband answered 5-6 questions, and my son answered 4 questions and got one wrong- he was a month or 2 off his answer. They didnt ask my other son any questions. The IO was impressed from the start with our wedding album and story. *Full review in VJ Review section.* |

| Embassy Review : |
To God be the glory, great things He hath done. My husband and 2 kids had their appointment in Kingston today @ 7am. They arrived at 6:30am and told me he will turn in his phone to a vendor nearby for $100 so I wont hear from him till it was over. This is his account:
They got a # and sat down. He was the first one called at the preliminary window asked for all 3 of them birth certificates, passports, and ask who was petitioning for them. Done.
Within less than an hour, his name was called. She looked pleasant, smiling and IO asked him:
1. Where and how did you meet?
2. How do you know the relative that introduced you?
3. Where does she work?
4. When did you get engaged and when married? (She was very impressed that it was a public engagement in our church back home.) She was smiling and asked to see wedding photos.
Hubby showed them our wedding album. He turned the pages as she looked pleased. She "ok' 'wow'. She said, "I see that they(the kids) both took part in the wedding. My husband said yes. She said ok.
Then asked 2 more questions: where there any relatives at the wedding? Did you have a reception? He said yes and gave the # of nearly 90 people in attendance. He attempted to show her the rest of the album with the reception. She said no need.  . She looked pleased and ask to speak to my eldest son- 12 yrs old. OI asked him:
1. How old are you?
2. What class are you in?
3. Have you ever met me?
4. When was the last time you saw her? (He took about 30 seconds to think.) IO said, no rush take your time. He answered a month off. The lady smiled and said its ok.
She typed things in the computer. Gave them the blue ticket to go to window # 26. They can track visa from DHL and pick up in 4-7 days.
APPROVED!
Thank you God for the favor on our family. To God be the glory; great things he has done!

*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.
