| Embassy Review : |
Before the interview i had some doubts and i sent them by email to the embassy, they answered me every doubt i had within 2 - 3 days
Also my interview was scheduled for 16th feb 2012, I wrote asking if there is an open spot before that time, i would like to speed up my case because I have a daughter that needed to start school as soon as posible. They contacted me when a spot opened to see if i wanted to take it.
In the embassy it self all was great. Perfectly organized and what call my attention was the friendly manners the consul as well as his secretary had.
I had my interview with my 3 childs, and all of them felt same way i felt about the embassy. It was really a very nice experience.
The only thing i would like to be faster is the deliver of my visa after the interview, is been one week since, and still i didnt receive it. But i cant complain coz even when i know for most people it take less time, the consul told me it could take one or two weeks.

| Embassy Review : |
Most went GOOD there. Even tho im not so sure they were so happy to have more immigrants, they way to treat us was nice and smooth.
As soon as i get off the airplane, i told a security man that was there i was transit passenger, i spoke in english but he saw the back of my passport where it shows the country, so he answered me in spanish (im from argentina and we speak spanish), he made me wait in a side, so i didnt have to wait in the main line with all the other ppl that got off the plain, they were hundreds.
Then the customs officer called me. He was very nice, he asked me if we speak english, and i answered only me, but not the kids. Anyhow he spoke with me all time in english, he reviewed all my papers, asked for the embassy pack and drove me thru to inmigration area, while we walk he said to someone there, "hey they are k1 and k2s" so i told him "Come on, u see lot of k1 and k2, dont u?" he said "yes, thats why im telling him we got more"
We entered a room and he gave my papers in hand to another officer, then he went away while greeting us.
The other officer, who i greeted in english, answered me in spanish and asked me to wait on that room while he review my papers, since then all what was said was in spanish. Then he came back to make me fill some part of the i-94 i missed, and asked me to wait again.
It was a long wait somehow. The whole thing since we get into that inmigration room till we left was almost 1 hour and half.
Then he came out with my papers again, he said everything is ok, and gave me some information papers about aos, and gave me back my passports with the i-94 on it and stamps.
They never asked me the x-ray or any other papers. Only my passport, the customs papers they gave me in the plane, and the packs i had from the embassy.
ADVICE: IF U HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER PLANE AFTER ARRIVE, MAKE SURE U HAVE MORE THAN 2 HOURS FROM ARRIVAL TILL CHECK IN TIME, OR U MAY MISS IT!!!! lot airlines will tell u the connection time u have is ok, but they count it from the arrival to the departure of next plane, and they never tell u the check in is one hour b4 departure or u loose it.
SO JUST MAKE SURE UR TIME IS ENOUGH TO AVOID STRESS |

*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.
