Embassy Review : |
Interview went very well took about an hour, one line for review and set up next review more detailed, so we went on one line for 10 minutes they took some info, then waited for about 2 hours then got called to the window and interviewed by young guy had all papers in order, thanks to me sending in exactly what they need in the right order, to begin with. I trucked a backpack full of supporting documents and copies of other documents in case there was questions, but there was no need to dig into any of the papers. Asked about 10 questions, in Spanish and then reviewed papers and said you are good to go
Picked up passports at DHL office 2 weeks later in our local city. PS, they have nice coffee pavilion built inside the waiting room and they are renovating the entire waiting area with a roof and new video monitors to watch, so I imagine it will be nice when they get done. We sat on the left hand side which is for immigrants. on the right section is the non immigrant visitor line which was very long with most being rejected there as we know unless you got a big bank account. Overall it was a nice experience. Bring your own extra quality photos, don't bother with the photo shops around, they are not to spec. most times. right across the way is nice restaurant, stop in there for some aquiajco soapa or chicharon or costillas

*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.
