| Embassy Review : |
Everything went very smoothly on the day of the interview. My fiancé was there for support just in case (so glad he was, because I had forgotten the original Letter of Intent to Marry in the photocopier at home, and so they just had him sign the copy to turn it into the original).
The interview questions were mainly about my fiancé, his job, and making sure we actually are a couple and that we've actually met in person.
When the interview was over and I was approved, I'm pretty sure I was also told I'd be getting my passport back in about 72 HOURS. I waited 2 MONTHS!! Everyday I wondered whether I heard right, and why it was taking so long. It's impossible to get any clear answers whether you try calling or by email, so I thought that was pretty frustrating. Anyway I'm glad to have my visa issued. I understand it's case by case, but I just wished processing wasn't so inconsistent: after they tell you it's approved, why do some people wait 5 days and others 2 months?

*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.
