| Embassy Review : |
294 miles later (with the little one and best friend) we were outside the Embassy at 07:47. I walked up to a queue of probably around 200 people and decided to speak to one of the ladies at the desk. I said I had an immigrant visa interview at 9am and she immediately asked for my appointment letter and passport, crossed my name off from a list and told me to go straight through. I walked over to the guy at the security line and was through security in seconds. Up the stairs and I had my number, I915. Not bad considering I was sat down at the back of the waiting room by 08:06...for a 9am interview! Major queue jumping javascript:emoticon(' ')
I waited patiently for my ticket number to be called. Only one half of the big screen was working so good that it was the half that showed the ticket number. At 09:04 my number popped up, window 13. A nice fella called Michael asked me for my documents and when I would like to travel to the US, took my fingerprints then told me to wait to be called again. That took about 5 minutes. By this time the place was full but moving steadily. I sat myself back down at the very back corner near the window and listened to music until 11:15, my number popped up again.
Window 15; a fella interviewing for a spouse visa was still talking at the window, a blue form in hand. Anyway, he finished and now it was my turn. A lovely American lady greeted me, I took the oath and she proceeded with a few questions;
1. Where did you meet your fiancé?
2. How long have you been together?
3. Who is your co-sponsor?
4. Have you met his family?
5. Where in the US will you live?
6. How soon do you want to travel?
I've listed those as questions but they really weren't even as formal as that. We pretty much had a chat about what we liked and how beautiful Georgia is. It was more like meeting someone new and getting to know them than a formal inquisition. After that she smiled and simply said that my visa was approved and I should have it in about a week and that I'd get a text from the courier when available to pick up.
All in all a long drive, an adequate wait time and really really simple process. Lots of worrying and stressing for nothing.
I was out of the Embassy at 11:22! javascript:emoticon(' ') |

| Embassy Review : |
Quick and relatively easy even with a lot of bags and a one year old. Straight through the first check, fingerprinting and handing in the visa package. Nice gentlemen then took me to wait for the second check, a stern but nice African American lady asked when we were getting married and what I had to do afterwards. Pretty straight forward and out in about 40 minutes. 😁

*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.
