| Embassy Review : |
We got to the consulate a little before 8:30 for a 9:00 appointment. It was raining and the line had maybe 15 or so people in it. We were let inside around 8:45. Our number ended up being applicant 14. I'd read reviews saying not to get there earlier than 30 minutes before, but I think if you can, push for an hour. We waited about an hour or more for his number to be called. He went up to the window, took about 10 minutes with his documents. After that, it took maybe another 20 minutes for his interview. It was simple, less than five minutes, and he came out with a letter welcoming him to the US.
The consulate was fine and everyone was helpful. It did get very crowded in there by 11. The intercom is a little hard to hear and they won't repeat the message for another few minutes, so try to pay attention. Their vending machines also didn't have any water. They do have a play area for children with toys and books, so that's nice for anyone who can't get a babysitter. No electronics are allowed, they will confiscate them at the door, so bring something to hold your attention. |

*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.
