| Embassy Review : |
The security guys in front of the embassy were nice and friendly.Unfortunately they did not have my name on a list. But they let me in anyway, i just had to show them my invitation letter. Even though on the letter from NVC is written time of your itnerview, it does not actaully mean that this is time, when you will be intervied. It only allows you to come in to the embassy in the certain time. So like everybody else, i had to take a ticket from the ticket maschine.I have been waiting for 45 mintues before they call in my number. Even people who came after me, went in front of me. I spoke to a nice czech lady and gave her the papers she asked. Original and copy of marriage certificate, birth certificate,police record, passport and passport photos. That was it. Then i had to wait again for the consul. I have been waiting for another 45 minuts, before the consul called me in. The interview was very short, no longer than 5 minutes and i actually enjyed it.Before the interview started the consul gave me back our photos which we have sent to USCIS as a proof in the begining of our visa jounrey. That was a nice surprise. I have been asked to describe my relationship with my husband, where did we meet etc. Then where my husband lives,what is my job,and when i plan on to travel to US. and in that moment i knew i was approved. Then the consul told me he does not know what else to ask and that everyting looks fine and that they will contact me when i can pick up my passport.And that was it. I rate the embassy experience very positive, minus the waiting and that when you are intervied everybody who is in the waiting room, can hear what you say. The interview is held only by a counter not in a private room. Otherwise the staff was very friendly and helpful.The visa were ready to pick up within 1 week. Only thing was, they do not send it by mail, you can only pick it up at the embassy. |

*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.
