| Embassy Review : |
Appointment was scheduled for 1:00pm, arrived at the consulate letter in hand at 12h40. Went through security, took my ticket and a seat.
It seemed that we were about 10 filing for an immigrant visa that day.
The process was done in three steps:
- first, at about 1:10pm, everyone was called one after the other by the consular assistant (CA) to check people in. They asked for the appointment letter and the ticket.
- then, they called everyone one after the other to the CA's counter. It took quite some time for my number to be called (2:30pm). The lady was very nice, went through my whole file. Asked me if I happened to have any updated civil documents which I did. Took new pictures too. Asked me if I had a new address, etc... The lady was French and she was really nice. She asked me when I was intending to leave, I said in 3 weeks, then she told me she would try to do my visa ASAP. I suppose that she is in charge of printing it and doing the final steps.
Finally, she asked if I had any questions. I asked her if I could have my packet mailed to my job's address, she said yes.
- Then I had to wait again (maybe 20 minutes) for the CO to call my number. We spoke English. She was very nice. She asked a few questions (like who is my second sponsor compared to my wife or how long have I been married with my wife). Then I took an oath stating that all the provided information were true and she said everything looked good and I should receive my visa in 7 to 10 days. |

*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.
