Waiting in line took longer than actually going through immigration. I pretty much ran out of the plane to make sure I got to the CBP booths before the bulk of the passengers, then waited for a good half hour. The guy I got was professional and friendly, looked at my passport and paperwork for all of 2 minutes, then sent me to secondary, which took all of another 2 minutes, and then I was on my way. |

| Embassy Review : |
The process was extremely quick and painless. I returned my checklist and got a letter two days later for an appointment 10 days later, i.e. today, at 11 AM.
I got there, went through security, was told to sit down, and within a couple of minutes was called to one of the counters, where a local (i.e. not an American, judging by his accent) took my paperwork (DS-156, DS-156K, birth certificate, police record, military record, affidavit of support, two photographs, proof of payment of the visa issuance fee). He made me sign both copies of the DS-156, then told me to go sit down again.
Minutes later, I was called to a different counter and this time taken care of by an American, who had already typed up my fiancée's name on the DS-156K and made me sign it. Then he took the prints of both my index fingers and told me to go sit down again.
I didn't have time to sit down, the other, first guy already beckoned me to his counter, told me they'd send me the visa in the mail the same day or the next, asked me to write my address on a large envelope, told me about the sealed envelope I am to present to the immigration officer, told me I have 6 months to use the visa, and that was that.
I'd given him originals of my birth certificate, police records and military records, and asked if I could have them back and give him copies instead, and he said sure, no problem. That was cool because the stupid birth certificate and police records cost about $20 each per copy, and I can surely reuse at least the birth certificate later on. I made sure I could go at that point, he said yes, and I left.
There was no "interview", no questions asked, I didn't have to show any sort of evidence of our ongoing relationship -- nothing whatsoever, except the affidavit of support.
I was in and out of the embassy in exactly 30 minutes. |

*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.
