Very easy and quick. Separate queue for
'new immigrants'; fingerprinting etc over in minutes. I actually asked "is that it?" as couldn't believe it was so sstraightforward after all the hassles! |

| Embassy Review : |
Generally very polite and helpful, and with clear explanations of what was going on/needing to be done.
The queue outside is a bit alarming - be prepared with brolly/coat for bad weather, there's no shelter! The queue supervisors seem pretty together, and keep checking on people's interview times. Inside, quite organised. Consul very polite when twice other staff came to ask him questions and he had to go away (not that I was going to argue when he said 'Do you mind...?" !!!) When it came to them revealing that everything was fine EXCEPT the fact that my medical report hadn't been signed so they couldn't actually issue the visa, they were sympathetic, and did their best to resolve the situation (sending report back to Birmingham, getting it signed, then processing at once and handing me the visa in person). |

*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.
