Very nervous going through Immigration, don't know why. guess I'm just that type, the guy told me sternly the last date we needed to get married and pointed to it in my passport. I didn't have the heart to tell him I couldn't see it as I didn't have my specs on!! |

I went for my interview this morning 1 Nov. Got there earlier than appointment time and there were already quite a few people in the queue. I'm really glad I took the advice from people on here to arrive early. No problems with anything apart from me being very nervous. Tannoy system was still not working properly but thankfully most numbers were pinged up on the screen. I can't really say how long I waited for the first bit to submit documents as I don't wear a watch but the young American guy was very pleasant and friendly even though I felt rather flustered. (I must have checked my stuff more times to make sure it was in order but could I find it when I needed it? Heck no!javascript:emoticon(' '))
He told me everything was fine and I mentioned we'd originally planned for me to be there for Thanksgiving, he said I could still make it but I told him I needed to give proper notice at work and didn't want to let people down. He said he understood and told me I could sit down to wait to be interviewed.
I think I waited roughly another half hour to 45 minutes here, went and spoke to another American guy who greeted me by my first name, asked me how I was. I told him I felt very nervous, he said "No, don't be, you're gonna be fine".
He asked me how we met originally, when we first me in person, when I visited Brian in the US, how come I haven't been back since February this year (my job).
Why the US over the UK? What's his job?.....Well Lisa, I'm happy to say you're approved!!!...YAY!!I reckon I was in roughly 2 and half hours-ish. Overall a very good experience even though I was nervous.
Thank you for all the advice and help on here, it's been invaluable. We couldn't have done this without you guys' help!! |

*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.
