Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Costa Rica Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : December 23, 2013 Embassy Review : Had two reviewing officers in this "bank teller" process. Questions were all exactly as provided from others on the internet. The first officer was pushy for and did not offer to return original documents. After this, we had to wait for the cashier who was 20 minutes late from lunch. Finally the last counselor was US and was friendly and delivered the good news. The passports were to be picked up the following week. Rating : Moderate

*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.
