| Embassy Review : |
Everything went very smoothly. Stephen arrived 30 minutes prior to his interview time. He didn't believe me when I told him he could check his mobile phone at the gate BEFORE he went inside, so he rented one of those "hold your luggage" places and left his phone there. But sure enough, they DO allow you to check your phone in. He did say there was a long line though and he was glad he'd not brought it.
All in all, things went quickly. They check his information at station one and station 2. Then when he was called to the window for his interview, he said the guy didn't hardly even look at him, he was busily stamping all of Stephen's forms during the "interview". Asked him how long we'd known each other where we met and why he was moving here instead of me moving over there. Then he was given a quick "you're approved, expect your visa in 4 -9 days" (in reality his interview was on Tuesday and his visa was delivered to his house in Northern Ireland on Friday...so very quick there.) An overall really good, hassle-free experience. |

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.
