| Comments : |
Wife baby and me arrived at 8:15 for 8:30 appointment. They told her, the beneficiary to come to the window while I hold baby. The co, a young woman asked about 5 questions then called me to the window and explained to both of us that we are approved!
What a nightmare it was at the last minute finding out that they had not even received our i-864 from NVC! After calling them the night before our appointment, they had nothing to help. After the interview we asked for our original papers and they could not find them??? So they said they would have everything ready when we return tomorrow for the visa. We left at about 10:30, so it was relatively fast and smooth despite apparent miscommunication with NVC.
We asked for and received expedite status at each step.

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
