Wedding was held 25.08.2007
When showing up at the Embassy in Reykjavik to hand in I-93 letter and OF-230(DS-230) as required before booking interview, security personnel rejected accepting the documents claiming that they were just supposed to be brought to the interview. The papers were therefore mailed to the embassy later that day as they specifically give instructions for being turned in before scheduling interview(at least before showing up to it). |

Case was transferred to the Washington, DC(Fairfax VA), office on December 15th 2007, but not the local Charlotte, NC, office.
Card Production ordered January 31st 2008.
If you are living in the NC Triangle(Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Raleigh), and are getting your vaccination form I-693A filled out for AOS, then stay away from Dr. Mark Samia.
This guy overcharges so bad that it is not funny. The I-693A form ended up costing me $200.00
Biometrics on Oct. 27th took a total of 20 minutes in and out. Very quick and no hazzle. |

Both interview (about 10 mins with ca. 30 min waits before and after) and the Oath Ceremony (1.5 hours) were a breeze after this whole adventure.
Now it's completed, finito, fin ende kohel, búið, afsluttet, fertig.

*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.
