A pain-free entry. Officer simply took my papers, returned any copies they didn't need and I was on my way out.
Wish they'd at least said hello or goodbye. |

| Comments : |
The interview was quite long, but the Interviewer was mostly relaxed and friendly. He tried to make me fumble by acting dubious about my living situation because I couldn't tell him about my neighbors. I told him we don't live in a nice neighborhood, so that seemed to satisfy why my wife and I didn't talk to or know our neighbors.
The six questions were easy ones. I mixed up the number of representatives and senators, but he allowed me to correct myself since it was the 6th question and I realized right away that I gave the wrong answer.
He approved me and gave me a letter to attend an Oath ceremony, apologizing that the path ceremonies for that day had concluded already. |

| Embassy Review : |
I got stuck behind a jumbojet of Asians traveling on visas and was literally the last person out of border control after close to two hours of standing around in queue.
Officer didn't say hello. Asked if I'm traveling on a student visa. I corrected him to tell him my visa is a K-1. He took my papers, returned some copies of documents the USCIS wouldn't need and stamped my passport. Fingerprints and photo and I was on my way out.
Hassle free, but certainly no service with a smile. |

*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.
