| Embassy Review : |
With our case, we asked to expedite twice at the NVC stage. And even called the Embassy to speed up the interview date which they were GRACIOUSLY to accept to give me an emergency interview appointment.
The entire interview process at the Embassy took less than 2 hrs. I brought a long my spouse and two children but they never asked for them.
In general, the staff at the Seoul Embassy were very nice and professional. With COVID, they worked at a very low pace and kept the distancing well regulated.
At the interview, they asked typical questions such as how/where we met, how long we dated before getting married, where we got married, who our cosponsor is, what our plan to do in the US, where we plan to live, did I live overseas before and where, where my hometown is etc.
No congratulations or anything but just a simple 'your case is approved.'
Super nice that the interviewer said your visa will be available with the courier within 3 days (since I asked if I could get my visa in hand asap due to housing and visa visa deadline that we needed to get out of Korea).
Thank you, VJ friends for all the help!

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
