| Embassy Review : |
Had an appointment at 8:30 AM. Showed up at 8:00, and went to the Immigrant/US citizen line. The line for non-immigrants is much longer, and already had about 30-40 people in it when I arrived. The immigrant line only had one other person in it.
I got in fairly quickly, probably waited about 15-20 minutes before being called to the door. Once inside, I was directed to a special booth for immigrants. At the booth, there was a person who took all the original documents I was asked to bring, then asked me some general questions, and asked me to sit down and wait for my actual interview.
After waiting about 20 minutes, I was called to a different booth and had my interview. It went really well, and only took about 15 minutes.
I believe I was out of the Embassy with a big smile on my face not later than 9:15. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had less than 2 hours between flights when flying into Denver (going to San Francisco) so I was a little worried that I might not make it.
However, the whole process was very smooth. They have a nice system at the airport, where they split people with ESTA's and people with visas into 2 separate groups. There was no line for people with ESTA, but the line for people with visas had about 8 people before me when I got there. Compared to the huge line for citizens and residents at the time, this was great.
Once it was my turn, I presented my passport and the two envelopes I got from the embassy, and he took one quick look at them, said "Oh, you're immigrating", called his buddy, and I got escorted into a separate office.
At the office, the officer told me to sit down and wait while he entered me into the system. It took about 10 minutes, and once that was done he gave me back my passport, informed me about applying for a permanent residency and I was off. Didn't even have to hurry to catch my flight. |

*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.
