Biometrics appointment was a breeze. The ASC was 1.6 miles from my place. Reported to the appointment 5 minutes before scheduled time. Approached the reception and showed the appointment notice. She asked for the Green Card and stamped the appointment notice. Was given a clipboard with the appointment notice, Green Card, and a form to fill out. Filled out the form and reported back to reception desk. Given a token and asked to wait. Hardly waited when called to the Biometrics area. The official took a photo, finger printed me. Was kind enough to retake the photo because I did not like it. I was done in less than 15 minutes. Everyone was polite, courteous and professional. Got to get that FBI identification record now. |

Biometrics scheduled at same ASC as I-751. Great experience. Early walk-in. Done within 10 minutes.
Reported to interview 15 minutes before scheduled time. Called in 45 minutes. Asked to raise right hand and swear to tell the truth. Left and right index fingers scanned. Answered the first 6 questions asked from the civics portion correctly so was asked no further questions about civics. Asked to read and write one English sentence. Couple questions asked from the application. Did not have sufficient evidence of bona fide marriage with me, so given a list of documents to be submitted before a decision can be made. |

| Embassy Review : |
My previous review was incomplete and I can't edit it, so rest of my review goes here. After sorting single applicants and multiple applicants from same family in two lines, I think the single applicants were dealt with first. I was given a review sheet, a paper explaining legal rughts available to immigrant victims and another paper asking to arrange my documents in the following order:
1. DS-260 Confirmation page
2. Two photographs 2x2 inches
3. Medical report (No X-ray report needed)
4. Police clearance certificate from the passport office
5. Original and photocopy of birth/marriage/divorce decree certificate
6. I-864, I864A and updated tax returns
I was also given a token number and asked to wait opposite a window. When my token number was displayed on the screen, I went to the window where a pleasant Indian lady greeted me and confirmed my name, my parents' names, contact information and asked whether interview in English was okay. She returned my originals submitted to NVC and I checked whether I got back everything. She took my medical report, DS-260 confirmation page, passport, two photographs. Everything else was already there and she organized it in a folder for me and asked me to wait for my interview. My number was called again to another window where an American Consular Officer took my interview. He asked me to raise my right hand and read the oath from a paper. He then asked me if I understood what oath I had taken. Then I was asked to place four fingers of my right hand on the scanner. He then asked an exhaustive list of questions my husband and our marriage situation. I didn't know the answer to a question that was not currently relevant to our situation. He said it was going to be very difficult if I didn't have dates for him. He touched on the age difference. Finally, he asked to see photos and I gave all photos with descriptions and he asked no more questions and said I had been approved. I thanked him and left.

*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.
