When you take into account the change in rules re: I129f petitions, which came into effect in June, resulting in an RFE which added a month to the timeline, it pretty much matched the historical trends. |

It took a while to get through because they wanted to examine the paperwork in the brown envelope but then they just stamped the I94 with "employment authorized" and said welcome to America. |

RFE for the medical, I guess they lost the original. They didn't tell me that they didn't have it for almost 8 months!!!!!! Oh well, I have the GC now and dont have to worry about USCIS for another 21 months. |

4 months from NOA 1 to approval was the norm at this time from VSC. We were right in that time frame so I have no complaints. |

| Embassy Review : |
 In and out inside of an hour. I had read other peoples reviews of the US embassy in London and they were all positive but I still prepared myself for a long morning. I arrived at 9.30am for my 10am time slot, and the lady directed me to a short queue which took no time at all. I was through security and being given a number in 15 mins. I sat down and was called to the first window after about 7 mins. This was straight forward, the guy asked for my originals, scanned my finger prints, and gave me my chest x-ray back. Great, I thought, I now have to carry this huge envelope around london all day.
That lasted all of 5 minutes and I went and sat back down. I was called 30 minutes later and a different guy gave me back my originals, scanned my finger prints again, made me swear that all the info was correct, and asked me four simple questions. (What first attracted me to my Fiance? Where we met? How did I propose? and When did I last see her?) Visa Approved. Easy. Paid the courier on the way out and should receive my passport with the visa in a couple of days. Roll on October  |

*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.
