| Embassy Review : |
The interview went really well. The questions were relevant and not intimidating for my husband. THey asked about our wedding, where it was held, when our baby is due, how we met and how long we\\\'d dated. My husband seemed to think that they liked the photos of the wedding and some others when we had toured around Nicaragua with my father and son. He had to swear it was all true and sign a form.
At the end he was told he was basically approved, but needed to get a \\\"unique\\\" birth certificate, because his birth certificate was not issued within one year of his birth, due to political unrest. (civil war) He was given information on where to get this. They also told him that our $404 DS-230 payment was not in their system (I had paid this and it had cleared over one month ago). He left the embassy and went to get the \\\"unique\\\" birth certificate. I emailed the embassy with the tracking information from my checking account and another copy of the receipt. I also asked that he be allowed to submit the birth certificate the same day, as I know the consulate has office hours in the afternoon. (He had received a piece of paper saying that he could hand in the additional evidence on Mon, Tues, Weds, and Friday between 7am and 9am.) I didn\\\'t hear back, but the embassy called my husband to let him know that the fee was all set. He asked if he could bring the additional birth certificate by. They said they would check and called him back to tell him yes! Hallelujah! They received his additional information and his passport and told him his visa should be ready within a week.

*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.
