RFE for a "lost" medical exam. Civil surgeon initially told us we didn't need an MMR shot. One year later, we are told we did need an MMR shot. Husband took the Titer tests to show he is immune to all three diseases. Sent in a second completed I-693 from the civil surgeon.

USCIS Case Status Updated to "We ordered your Green Card" a day before the approval was official. Not complaining, I just think it's funny. Card sent in the post a day after that, January 29th.

Biometrics attached from previous filings so no actual appointment.
After losing half our evidence and me resupplying it plus more evidence gathered in the years we were waiting for our application to be considered, ROC was granted without an interview. Permanent green card received five years TO THE DAY from husband's first entry into the United States on his K-1 Visa. |

| Embassy Review : |
This is just a quick review of the US Embassy in London and our K-1 Visa interview.
We went down the night before and spent some time in London. It wasn't the first time either of us had been there but we still enjoyed a bit of sightseeing and window-shopping. Plus, this helped with work off nervous energy. We were both really worried and nervous. The next day, we took the tube to Vauxhall and walked along the Thames, arriving about half an hour early. I was expecting a line but there were only a few people in front of us. The lady who checked us in was lovely. I was worried that they wouldn't let me in, as I wasn't on the official list (despite trying for ten days to be added to it) but she just made a note that I was there with my fiance and let us both in.  I think the most important thing I can say about this process is that the US Citizen needs their passport too.
We passed through security and into the building where we were given a number and directed to the waiting room. There, we waited for about ten minutes. Our number was called and the first employee took our original documents: birth certificate, police certificate, passport photo, and affidavit of support. He took my fiance's fingerprints, asked a couple questions about where my fiance had lived and why our medical exam wasn't available yet. (Believe me, we tried to get it there on time!) He let us know that we would have to pay cash for the visa. That came as a surprise to me because I thought a card would be fine. Luckily, we happened to be carrying enough cash with us!
We paid the fee and sat down again to wait for the official interview. About five minutes later, our number was called and we went to the designated window. The lady returned our original documents, asked again about the medical exam results and then asked my fiance about four questions. Then she stamped our papers and said everything was in order and as soon as the medical exam results were forwarded they would process the visa.
That was it!
The office is well-lit and there were plenty of people standing in lines but from what I saw, it all moved fairly orderly. The staff were all very nice and everyone was professional. |

*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.
