| Comments : |
The overall process took MUCH TOO LONG. The lost papers once, then requested my wife's police report and birth cert and my 2013 tax returns, even though they were all submitted initially. What should have taken max 8-9 months took 395days. Extremely frustrating and trying process. Patience is a must. |

My wifes apt was at 8:45am we got there at 7:30 thinking appt times really do not matter, just a way to stagger the people arriving. At the front gate you give your name and they check the list. My wifes name was not on the list so they sent us around the corner to a Visa Store that took my wife Visa info, entered her in the computer and miraculous when we went back to the back she was on the list. Passed thru security, was giving a number, waited 15 min, my wife went to the window, was asked some questions like was your husband married before, for approx. how long, what's his date of birth, where will you live? then she was told to wait. About 35min later she was called again to the window, this time a different agent. He asked her if I have ever shown signs of being abusive, asked how we met, how long together, have we travelled together, where did we travel too? Explained to her about her rights in regards to domestic violence. Then told her congrats she was approved. The visa arrived at the DHL office 9 days later. Off we go to Florida to hang out in the keys!!! |

*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.
