November 24, 2006 |
| Embassy Review : |
* You can't stand and wait near the elevator anymore (they are WATCHING from a camera and they set you straight quite quickly to "step away from the elevator!"), but you still exit from behind...
* They are telling you different windows to check in then previously posted
* They didn't give us a "number" (like C1, 2, etc.) they called us up by name (a bit mumbly too, we were confused, but figured it out)
* The consular was younger than I ever pictured in my mind, very nice man, and felt like we were chatting with a friend; the lady who took our originals was very nice too (even the lady at the cashier window was nice!)
* Don't tick off the security lady with the black wavy hair, she BITES
* Don't wander anywhere outside of the area you're supposed to be in, they are watching you and they will come up and make you feel like an arse! (not to us, but it was witnessed). Sit quietly and follow all directions given!!
* They didn't look at our pictures, any relationship proofs, etc.
Overall, very quick and painless procedure, just be prepared with everything and try and relax (impossible for me, but maybe you can) |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
