Local US CIS Office Review: Des Moines IA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : March 2, 2013 Embassy Review : Did my appointment the day BEFORE my scheduled appt. Left home @ 5:30 am for the 2.5 hr drive, got there at 8 when office opened. Didn't have to show security my paperwork. They asked if I knew where to find office I had to be at. Told him Biometrics and he pointed me to the right direction. There were about seven 8 o'clock appointments that showed up right after. At check in office, I handed the rep my paperwork. Didn't say anything about why I'm here early. Rather, I waited for him to ask the question. He didn't. He only asked if i'd mind waiting for the appointments to get done first. Totally understandable and expected. I was super grateful that I wouldn't be turned away. The wait was for about 35 mins. approximately. The biometrics lady was super friendly and talkative. Very friendly atmosphere, smooth process. In all, I got done by about 9 am. Things to remember: 1. Walk with quarters for parking, or with someone who wouldn't mind waiting in car to avoid that, as the process usually doesn't take that long with an appt. 2. If you're doing a walk-in, always be prepared with a valid excuse and/or supporting documents as to why you can't make it on scheduled day. You just might be unfortunate to have a less than friendly experience with a disgruntled representative. But, based on reviews of all consulate offices i've read, those experiences are extremely rare. That's why I took the plunge and drove 2.5 hrs with hope and a prayer. Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
