Been waiting over a year and received a ridiculous RFE asking for things they have obviously lost, and for birth certificates of our children...we dont have any! Still waiting...they received our RFE over 2 weeks ago, nothing. (june 2015) Update as of 13th july 2015: received another rfe, for medical, sent off July 9th 2015. Was signed for on the 10th July. |

It went missing in the mail. It was apparently sent out just over 70 days after filing. We had to refile. And wait another 90 days to receive the combo card....which went to our old address!!!!! After changing it and having a letter sent to confirm.
Have had to reapply for ead because it ran out: received notification it was received July 1st 2015. |

I had a great experience for my interview on the 11th Feb. I arrived at 7.20am and asked reception where to go. He told me to wait until 7.45 before I go up to security on level 10. He also told me that lifts open at 7.30am...so of course I go up then haha. I had to sit outside the locked security door until they opened. Only 1 other person was there. As soon as they opened the door I went in, I ended up being first as the other girl didn't seem in a hurry. I handed over my belongings, keeping my documents etc, and they gave me my wallet. I was allowed to take bottled water, had to take a sip as others have mentioned. All very friendly...took maybe 5 minutes. I had to go through my bag to find some earphones...they ask you to hand over all electronic equipment and I didn't realise they were in my bag. Then up the lift to the consulate room. You walk in, take a ticket, then sit and wait. There were maybe 5 other people after me. My number got called up after about 5 minutes, I went to the window and the woman asked for my passport etc, had to have fingerprints taken, then she took my receipt for payment etc. She was polite. It is so strange talking to somebody through the glass window! I was told to take a seat again, holding onto the same ticket number. After maybe 10-15 minutes I was called back to another window, this time for my interview. While I was waiting I overheard another applicants experience..poor girl. The woman asking for her documents was on the verge of being rude. Very abrupt, condescending almost. I had my fingers crossed I wouldn't get her!! I was interviewed by a really lovely woman, who smiled and was polite. Very business like, and the odd constant eye contact always. She asked:
Name of fiancé, how we met, how many times I had been to see him, where we would be living, where he works, address of his work, have I met his parents, had he been to oz (no), why he was the one for me, had I ever been arreseted or had trouble with immigration, and I think that's it. She looked through paperwork, gave me back something (his 1-34 pay info), looked at the photos we had sent in, and actually commented on them. A few minutes before I saw the big red approved stamp, but still didn't get my hopes up. She finally (after about 10 minutes) said everything was in order and I was approved. Gave me a small piece of paper saying so, and told me the visa will be sent out within 5 days. And to give myself extra time at point of entry as they will take me aside. Said good luck, and that was it! I was out the door by 8.30am (appointment time was 8am.
I received an email on valentines day that toll couriers were delivering the visa. I called them and they said it should arrive Monday, yay!!!
Good luck to everyone!!! |

*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.
