Medical – July 8th, 2014
I stayed at the Sandman Signature by the airport and just taxied to the medical … was about 40$ each way and took ~20 minutes.
My appointment was at 10:00, but I got there around 9:40. The lady at the front desk took all my paperwork right when I got in and Dr.Cheema saw me right away.
One of the assistants took my height and weight and then I waited in a room for the doctor. The examination felt super rushed- Dr.Cheema didn’t really ask me many questions … do I smoke, do drugs, any DUIs, random chit chat about work and moving. Did a little eye exam, took my blood pressure, examined eyes/ears/neck, listened to my heart, felt my abdomen and that was it. I was actually in and out before the appointment was even scheduled to start.
It was a gorgeous morning, so I walked to the building where I had to get the chest x-ray and blood work done, which took about half an hour. Both rooms were packed, so this part took a little longer, probably close to two hours. I was a little nervous to give blood because I had never had to do it before, but it was quick and painless.
Interview – July 10th, 2014
Most of the “interview process” was standing in lines and waiting. My appointment was at 10:00, but I got there early *just in case*, which I soon regretted because it was chilly and I had to wait outside. Finally around 9:45 I was allowed to line up to go through the initial screening where they check your bags and then usher you into another line to enter the building. Only 5 people get to enter the building at a time, so the second line was super slow moving. Once inside, the next stop was going through more security screening like what you do at an airport. Then back to waiting – the next line was the elevator line (I had to go to floor 20).
Once on the 20th floor, I went to a window and gave a man all my documents (police check, 1-134, birth certificate, passport, etc.). He told me to sit and wait until I was called by name to another window where the actual interview would take place. When my name was called, I had to give my fingerprints, oath, and then answered some basic questions – what do I do, what does he do, how did we meet, how often do we see each other, have I met his parents, has he met mine … and then after about 5 minutes the guy interviewing me told me my visa was approved. Hurray! I then had to go back to the original window to receive some additional information about the visa.
The entire process took just over an hour, but it felt like I was there for MUCH longer. I was surprised when I looked at my watch while walking out and it was only 11:15.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
