| Comments : |
In our case we had a few less-than-ideal flags: our age difference (19 years) and needing to rely on a co-sponsor.
However, we front-loaded our I-129F application with all of the evidence up front, sans affidavit of support. We included copies of all boarding passes, itineraries, photos, receipts and correspondence over the last 7 years.
On the day of my interview it seemed like there was little they needed to do as our file was packed full of everything they would normally ask for at this stage.
Our co-sponsor was accepted without comment despite being my fiance's ex-husband who has remained good friends with her since the divorce.
Our age difference was discussed but only so far as "How did your friends and family react?"
All in all, despite what felt like an eternity waiting for the NOA2, the process was very smooth.
We did not use lawyers. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had a 12:00 appointment and arrived at 11:00. There was no queue and I was allowed to pass straight through to security. Afterwards I followed the signs and was given my appointment number and told to sit and wait.
I was called up after about 30 minutes and was asked to hand over my passport, birth certificate, police certificate, affidavit of support (plus evidence) and my appointment letter. He also took my finger prints.
The man was very pleasant. Made me aware of when the K1 would expire and then gave me disc with my x-ray scan and told me to wait to be called.
30 minutes later I was called to a different window where I was met by an American. He had me scan my finger prints again and swear the Oath of Honesty.
It was a very natural conversation. He asked how we met and about our visits over the years and how my family reacted to the age difference. After looking through some of our photos together he just tapped away at his computer for a few seconds and then told me I was approved and should expect my visa to be ready for collection in 7-14 days. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
