Medical was completed on 12/08 and was sent to embassy on 12/20 which held up the visa process, along with the holidays. Recommend having your medical at least 2 weeks before your interview in the UK. My fiancé accompanied me to the embassy interview which was actually very helpful. We didn't need 80% of the documents requested from us, but the guy at the first counter said it was good we had it all. The interview took place at a separate counter and she asked a lot of questions about how we met, the frequency in which we have seen each other etc. |

Local US CIS Office Review: Los Angeles CA

| Embassy Review : |
We took our baby along with us, even though on other threads it was advised not. We arrived early (there is no where to wait and there is a detention center nearby, so you can't really go for a walk either). We parked across the street at the Los Angeles Mall. We entered the building and did security then went to the 8th floor to register and were told to walk back around and wait. As we went the security guard asked us a few questions and joked with us about the baby. We waited about twenty minutes before being called in and then we were sworn in immediately. The interviewer said he wasn't going through our file because he had already, but since my husband had a few DUIs made the point that he would have given him a harder time if our daughter wasn't there. He said he has to question if he is fit to be a petitioner. Fair enough. He asked us questions about where we met and our wedding. He only asked to see the birth certificate of our daughter, my husband's driver's license, my birth certificate and our marriage certificate (he was checking the seal to ensure it was authentic). We had brought copies of all our documents and ID. He checked my passport and went through the yes and no questions. He showed us a pile of files that were fraud cases and a bigger pile of denial cases. He said our case was straight forward for him due to the baby. But things he looks for is: 1) change of name, 2) house keys (check if you both have them), 3) marriage certificate, 4) a joint asset such as a bank account or your name on his life insurance is important and 5) your medical to see if you're on your petitioner's. Those are some of the key things they watch out for to see if your case is legitimate in this field office. We were very lucky we were approved within three months. Apparently theybhad. A lot of files and mine was passed to this interviewer who took it on as his case load. My greencard trumps the EAD and travel document application so I'm absolutely thrilled and a lot less stressed now |

*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.
