EAD was essentially useless, as it took 3 months for me to receive it, and then I waited 3 weeks before applying for my SS number, and I still wasn't in the system. The SS office advised me to return with my GC as I would have to go back with that anyway to update my SS details. |

I had to re-schedule my interview, and this was a little painful. The Consulate basically left me a little in limbo, by saying that they would contact me. I chose to follow up regularly via email (every 2 weeks), asking if a date had become available yet, and 90% of the time they replied within 24hrs. I would advise that if you have no response within 72hrs in a normal week, then send a follow up email.
The Consulate was a little hard to find - Fortunately people in Sydney are very friendly, and I managed to navigate! I went up to the Consulate level in the lift about 30 minutes prior to my interview time. I explained that I was early - This was not an issue. They took my cell phone, and kept this until I left after my interview (No cell phones allowed inside the Consulate!)
I waited in a room with a number, and with a lot of other people. I was called to a window to basically 'check in'. Then I was called up again shortly after to give them the 'requested documents' and to have my finger prints taken. I was then called to a different window for my interview. The man asked me how I met my then fiance, and how many times and the circumstances in which we had visited. That was it. I told them that I had brought additional supporting evidence (Most recent boarding passes, travel insurance certificate and photos etc - A whole file I had prepared) but he said that he only required the requested documents. They kept my passport, however I was not issued the visa on the day, as I did not have my medical results as I had only had my medical the day before. They simply asked me to forward this to them when I received the results. I did that 4 days later, and within 2 weeks of my interview they issued the visa, and I had received it via courier.
Overall, everyone at the Consulate was very helpful and pleasant, and the experience was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be! Including being there 30 minutes early, I was in there for approx 90 minutes - Most of which was waiting time. It's just everyday for those guys, and a one off long awaited day for all of us! I know you'll all be nervous, but rest assured this Consulate makes the experience a pleasant one  |

**Adjusting status from a K1 visa**
The appointment was delayed, but only by about 15 minutes, and the Officer was very nice and explained that they had staff shortages that morning.
We went into a small interview room. The officer looked through our file and asked me to verify my name, address and DOB. He chatted briefly with myself and my husband, and then stated that the application had been approved, and that I will receive my GC within the next two weeks. I received two identical emails a few hours later stating that my card has gone into production.
In our experience, all of the staff at the Tucson Office are very friendly, helpful and professional. Dealing with USCIS has been a very pleasant overall experience for us |

*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.
