I arrived in the afternoon around 1.P.M. I got to the immigration hall and it was packed but it is always busy at LAX, they work proficiently at managing the lines and the lines were moving [slowly].
I got to the desk and was greeted by the IO; I handed over my passport and the big white envelope, the CBP officer opened it and went through the contents, checked the visa, the passport page, and stamped it, then some pages on the documents, he did keep the contents of the envelope. He never asked anything about the contents. He was friendly and talkative the whole time, within around 10 minutes we were done. Upon leaving the desk he welcomed me to the USA. |

Attended appointment 12/02/19. Sworn in. Asked questions about the application I submitted, few details updated. Asked the civics portion of the interview. The IO asked me to review the information on the screen, then sign the screen. He photocopied my ID’s asked for updated information since filing to prove marriage was still valid. Scanned the documents, and printed a page circled the approved section. Advised my application would be recommended for approval and I would be notified of my Ceremony. A few hours later I got emails with my case status update. Two weeks later I attended my naturalization ceremony. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview on Wednesday 15th April at 9AM. I got to the embassy at around 8:15AM, at this point there two lines were really long and almost at the street. I asked a guy at the white tent a to which line I should stand in and he told me to come back at 8:35AM, I came back and was told which line to stand in, this line moved quickly and half way to the white tent a girl came round checking paperwork as I had a Immigrant appointment I was taken to the front and asked to stand in the much shorter line, everything moved quickly and I was in the security and out within minutes.
I got inside and was assigned I922, the waiting room was already really full and more and more people were coming in, staff inside were telling people to not block the door and to keep moving forward. I waited for about 30 minutes to be called to window 1 where I handed over my paperwork, had my finger printed captured and then was asked a few questions and was giving a CD with my chest x-rays.
I then took a seat (after one became available) I wanted about an hour and a half until my number was called again to go to window 15. I was greeted by a really nice lady, she asked me a few questions, how I met my US fiancé, questions about his family and what he did for a living, the lady then looked through the paperwork and gave me back my birth and police certificates.
The lady was ticking boxes and clicking things on the computer, within minutes she said I’m pleased to tell you you’ve been approved, congratulations and advised me that I would received my passport back within two weeks, with a big smile on her face.
I asked if I needed to do anything else and she said I was finished and could leave, I left and then texted my fiancé to let him know that we had been approved, as it was 4:18AM in California. It was a very easy process, very relaxed and very informal, a pleasant experience from start to finish.

*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.
