| Embassy Review : |
While the process was long and rather boring, it all went very smoothly and the staff were direct, informative and helpful.
For anyone going in here are a handful of pointers:
1, if your US resident fiance is in-country, call a week in advance and add them to the visitor list. With a passport, they can come in and wait with you (and help carry all the papers and info!) offering moral support and someone to talk to during the long wait, even if they can't come into the interview space with you.
2, you can't bring a big bag or phones or laptops(it's sort of like airport security when going in), but we brought a big bottle of water a book and a packet of snacks in our hands and it made all the difference during the wait (about 3 hours on the day we went).
3, you can ask questions during the interview -- this helped us feel clearer about our next steps and what will happen at the border when we could talk to someone face-to-face |

*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.
