I arrived at the US Consulate and I went through the scanner and handed my personal stuff in and they told me to sit and wait for the lift to come and get me. I went up the lift and went to the window and handed my passport in and went in the heavy door. I took a number and sat down. My number was called and the lady asked me a few questions about why I added this paper and why didn't add that paper and said it is ok don't stress and don't get nervous.... Yeah right too late.... The lady told me to sit back down and wait. While I was waiting I heard the Interview of two other people and both didn't get approved so that made me more nervous. My number was called I had to got to window 2. The lady was wonderful. She didn't really ask me much about me she asked why we wanted to move back to the USA and I just said my husband wanted to go back "home" she said that was lovely. She then asked what my husband would do when he went back to the States and I told her what he does now and she said ok. Then she told me we didn't qualify for the poverty guidelines... We misunderstood the poverty line. I told her that was ok I could show her straight away that we had the amount that they needed. She gave me a 212g for the poverty guideline which I sent her the proof the next day and then within 1 week I had my visa. I have never been more scared in my life...not even getting married...this was more scary..lol
I now have a lovely visa and I will get my 10 year green card when I enter the USA..yippee
The Consulate lady was so nice and friendly |

We decided to take a short trip to hawaii before starting our new life in Texas. we arrived in Honolulu and went to start the immigration and there was a couple before us and the Asian lady asked the IO how long this will take because they had a connecting flight and the IO said they shouldn't have booked it so close to their IO. Then said to them that they are on her bad side...so I then started to get nervous...but once they finished the IO called me and she was laughing and was as nice as pie... My arriving at Honolulu until the time I walked out to get into a cab was around 1 hour. It was such a great experience. |

*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.
