| Comments : |
From Interview to Visa Received took WAY too long. The Rio consulate basically sat on it for three weeks after approval before touching the file and issuing and sending the visa, which took close to two, additional weeks. We are relieved to receive it, but shameful service from the Rio consulate. |

Had interview in Memphis, TN on 9/25 at 8:00 am. We arrived 45 minutes early, and there were already several people there waiting. The security and staff were wonderful, and really made an effort to put everyone at ease. We waited a bit and were called back shortly after 8:00am. The IO was very nice and friendly. I brought a mountain of paperwork, but she only asked to see our passports. She said the file was in wonderful shape and the interview was just a formality. However, there was an issue with my wife's immunization form, as the doctor in Brazil checked the wrong box at the bottom! Oh no! But the IO gave us instructions to go see a civil surgeon and get the file checked correctly, and she even invited us to come back to the office to show her the completed form and she verbally promised us an immediate approval. We did just that, came back two days later, and the IO made good on her promise and approved us on the spot. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with the service from the Memphis field office. True public servants! |

*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.
