| Embassy Review : |
We had a 2pm interview and got there early, at 12:30. The guard was really nice and told us to come back at 1:30 because they couldn't let us in before then. So we went across the street and had some delicious pizzas at Pasta Basta near the WTC.
We came back at 1:30, the guy let us in and we had a great conversation with the security people. They didn't let us take in phones etc obviously, and also not bottled water either, but that's ok because there are easily accessible water fountains/bathrooms/all that inside. The embassy was much more comfy than I thought it would be.
We had to wait for a while inside in a room with a bunch of chairs. It seemed they scheduled all the appts at 2pm and then it's just a first come first serve basis. You take a number then they call you up to the windows in that order.
When we got called, the immigration lady seemed to have her mic off cause we couldn't hear her very well. She spoke in Spanish even though my husband's fluent in English. There was another lady there with her, and she was training her, telling her what questions she needed to ask. Really she just has us confirm a few things that were in our earlier statements we'd sent in. They asked how we met in the US, and I said that we didn't meet in the US, we met in Chile. Other than that, just very routine things -- she spent most of the time organizing our papers and putting the info in the computer.
Then we passed to another window and a guy asked us the same question about how we met. He told us we were approved and explained we needed to sign up for DHL to get the passport back. It was kind of weird because we hadn't gotten any info about that before, and it seemed like we were supposed to have signed up already. Anyway, we signed up to have the passport delivered to the DHL in Parque Arauco (near the exit of Falabella into the estacionamiento) and it was ready within a week.
We went home and celebrated for like 5 mins, cause my husband had to go back to work! :/ |

*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.
