| Embassy Review : |
I was not allowed in to the embassy with my spouse because we had a backpack. My spouse reported that some of the interview was conducted in Spanish -- and we are grateful for that since we understand they were under no obligation to do so. My spouse also said that the agents were professional and efficient. I waited outside about 90 minutes from start to finish. Do not bring unnecessary backpacks or bags, these are not allowed in, just try and bring only necessary paperwork. Do bring all original documents and family and wedding or vacation photos (they looked at all photos briefly). We had everything organized and tabbed for easy access in the folder. The agent who asked questions (family/spouse questions, salary, type of job to be had in the U.S., etc.) did not necessarily say my spouse was 'approved' or 'not approved' but simply to expect a package within 10 business days. We received the package with temp visa entry in about 5 business days. We left a month later, and are living in the states for several months now. Our journey (from Visa application to approval) took more than 1.5 years due to bureaucratic hiccups and the Spanish postal system losing our first application package. So patience lessens the frustrations, and makes the end result that much sweeter.

*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.
