POE was VERY friendly and extremely easy. Not too long of a wait... and the only question asked was what date we were married, that's it! In and out in minutes. |

| Embassy Review : |
So his appointment was scheduled for 1:30 - he was seen at 5:30. While he waited he spoke to the door guard who told him \"I do not mean to discourage you, but very rarely does someone make it through the first time through\". He met several men that had been there three and four times, so he was prepared to expect anything.
The interview went well. He said the gentleman was very kind and polite to him. He asked a few questions about how we met, our time in Tunisia, a little about my family, etc. He said they then asked him a lot about his own family. Did he have Aunts, uncles cousins... were they alive, where did they live. They asked him about his work, his home, his family, his friends. There was a larger interest in his background, which I guess is understandable.
So here is where it gets weird. The CO told my husband \"you are not qualified for your visa today, but I need to keep these papers and pictures\". He was handed back his visa and told to have a nice day. No slip telling him the status, no idea if he was denied and headed back to the US or if it went into administrative review. I have tried contacting the embassy by phone every day they are open, and I have yet to get a live body. I have also emailed seven times in the month since then with no replies.
In talking to the State Dept. they said the embassy reported my husband was a \"No Show\" for his appointment!!!
Overall experience was - the people were very nice and respectful to him, but past that getting the outcome was difficult.

*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.
