She got through Immigration and customs in about 10 minutes! So fast that I wasn't even expecting to see her so soon (I estimated minimum of one hour and up to three hours!) |

The biometrics were scheduled for 2 weeks after the AOS interview and the infopass appointment to get biometrics scheduled earlier was useless. The interviewer ordered biometrics for the same day and then it took 8 weeks to get the approval email. |

The interview was very easy and went very fast. The interviewer looked at one email for a few seconds and went over the I134 without saying much. Couple of questiona and thats all. 10 minutes and it was over. |

Embassy Review : |
The interviewer was very thorough and asked the usual date of birth, names of parents questions followed by when we met and the list of terrorist/spy questions. About 20 minutes - he was very nice and ordered the biometrics for the same day (they were scheduled 2 weeks after the AOS interview.) He kept almost all of the proof of relationaship (about 10 items - bank statements, health insurance bills, cards, dental cards, visa card etc.) He said he will mail a letter in 3 to 4 weeks - that's how long he thought the biometrics results might take. It took exactly 8 weeks to get the email of approval. |

*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
