Thanks to Senator Manchin, Our whole case was given Extremly Expedited Processing, as he signed the form acting as my attorney. Once the case reach the NVC the senator explained he could not really help as it had to process here normally, However Once I emailed him again requesting him to look into why it was taking so long. Even though I never got a reply the NVC within 7 days I received a letter stating The U.S. Consulate General indicated they are willing to expedite this petition This NVC has Processed your case and have already forwarded it directly to the consulate. Further Inquiries should be directed to the DoS and the U.S. Embassy.
Shiela just walked into st. lukes with that letter stating the consolate general expedited it and did her Medical without an appointment.
1 week later she had her interview where the case file was stamped Congressional adjudication, Which was signed by my senator. Also there was something on there that was signed by the Consulate General Approving Expeditious Processing. The Case File was sealed shut and the man only had a sheet of paper with my Info. She was Asked what her husbands birthdate was and then asked the same question again this time the worker said are you sure, she said yes. He said okay your approved.
DONE AND DONE, Thank you Lord!! |

The Immigration Officer was extremely nice and easy to talk to. The questions are preselected before you go to your interview they are already printed on a sheet of paper for the IO to ask you. Believe me they are completely RANDOM. My best advise is to study all 100 and get them down, because they can ask 10 of any of those questions. If you answer one wrong they give you the opportunity to go back to it and try to answer it again. I was just Naturalized today and I immediately registered to vote and answered yes to volunteer as a Poll Worker during elections. Serve your community get involved that is truly what America is all about. My Visa Journey is Over! |

*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.
