The whole experience was a whole lot easier than what I had anticipated! I was stressing out before I got there as I had forgotten the 3kg Express Envelope, but the lovely lady, after she finished organising what documents were needed, she told me to just duck across the hall to a print shop which sell them and come back. Did that, then headed through security screening, they held onto my phone and sunnies, watch, documents and boots went through the scanner, then I headed up to the 59th floor, all the while being shown the way by security guards.
Went in took a ticket sat down, not even 5 minutes passed was called up to have fingerprints done, and then sat back down until number was called again, about 15-20 minutes I was called again, went to the window the CO, was so nice, asked me about 5 questions, never looked at my file once while I was in front of him. After the last question he asked, he picked up my file from the right of him, closed it and put it in another pile then said your visa is approved, you should receive it within a week!
All up I was there a total of about 45 minutes. My interview was for 8:15am, I reached the 59th floor at that time, but I was out and calling my hubby by 9am. Everyone was very nice and made you feel relaxed.

Something I'd been dreading, but I was so wrong. I landed in LA on a 6am flight so it wasn't that busy, waited in line for about 15 minutes, reached the CO who was really nice, handed him my envelope and said you are going to need this, and he laughed, then asked me, 'so you are immigrating today then?' Ummm Yes! Lol...he spent about 10 minutes going through the paperwork, entering me in the system, stamped my passport and said welcome to America!! No more than half an hour in customs. Just like every other time I've been through  |

*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.
