| Embassy Review : |
The staff in the Immigrant Visa section were very helpful and friendly. Filing the I-130 was very easy and there were very little questions asked when we were both there together.
My husband went to the final interview alone and even though we had given them documents in the first interview a month prior, they wanted to see everything again. Unfortunately, I did not send the original proof of relationships documents with my husband as I thought we had already turned them in and they saw them and kept what they wanted. They gave my husband a hard time about that, so he had a longer interview with questions that were based on information that we had written on the forms... like "Who is Melanie" (my mother), etc. Easy questions if you are a valid couple!
Even though it says that the American spouse doesn't have to be there, they seemed to question why I wasn't there. (I was 12 weeks pregnant and not feeling well enough to deal with Ukrainian trains). But, in the end, he was approved after a 20 min interview. |

*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.
