My fiancee ended up at another interview upon arrival at Houston Immigration which took over an hour; but mostly because of a long wait line of people. They asked some questions which anyone in a true relationship should be able to answer. Two questions were how long the relationship and when was the marriage planned? |

We are still in shock to have been approved in seven months, and without an interview. So, our next step will be Naturalization filing in June. |

| Embassy Review : |
The process was much like our attorney said it would be. Both my fiancée and I were even more nervous because of this being a same gender application and the fact that my fiancée had come undocumented to the US once before under a petition of asylum. So, we weren't sure if he was still under a bar (penalty).
Both of us were permitted to enter the embassy together. No one gave us a bad time and we were treated with the upmost respect. First we were called up to a window to hand over all of the documents we needed to collect. There was a brief interview at that point. Then we were called up to a room to speak with the gentleman who gives the final word. He asked many questions about my fiancee's previous undocumented visit. I had every court paper and was able to give a full timeline showing we followed the law throughout the process, electing to return my fiancée to his country within the deportation grace window. We were not asked any embarrassing questions about our relationship. I think the fact I attended the interview with my fiancée was the best thing I could have done. The consular approved us. He was extremely nice to us. I suppose all of this is new ground for all consulates since the repeal of DOMA. I might add that our i129F application took 9 months to be processed by USCIS. Even our attorneys couldn't understand the long delay and inquired on our behalf for the reasons for the delays past the average 5 months expectation. USCIS gave a brief response that the criminal background checks were the cause if the delay.

*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.
