Entered the US as a LPR for the first time in Chicago. I wasn't asked ANYTHING. The CBP officer just confirmed details (address, last 4 digits of social etc..) and stamped my CR-1 visa to validate it as a 1 year temporary green card. It was the fastest I have ever entered the US. All of my documents were electronic and i wasn't provided a package to give to CBP, so this may have had something to do with it, but I was amazed with the ease of entry. GREAT EXPERIENCE! :D |

The interview was really straight forward, and the USCIS agent that took me through everything was super sweet and great to talk to. The civics and English tests were first. No big surprises, just seven of the questions that were on the 100 questions list, and having to read and write one sentence each.
Most of the interview was just reconfirming what I put in my N400 application.
The ceremony was directly after my interview. All in all, I had my interview and ceremony within about 45 minutes. |

| Embassy Review : |
The interview at the consulate was extremely smooth. In contrast to my previous VISA interviews for studying in the US, I found the process to be seamless. It seemed as though those going through the immigration process got expedited through the consulate and didn't have to wait in lines with the other VISA categories.
The consulate officers that collected my documents and interviewed me were extremely professional and explained things very well. All in all I found the experience easy and simple.
My only critique was that on an extremely rainy day, the AC was extremely cold and made waiting to be seen a little uncomfortable.
There are a lot of scary review of consulates online, but I would say that those working in the London consulate try hard to calm those that are interviewing for their VISA's and don't 'unnecessarily frighten' them as I have seen others review. javascript:emoticon(' ') |

Let us know when you'll get passport. I'd like to see how long should I expect.
I got my passport back today. All approved. Flight booked for Friday :) Good luck with your case! :D

*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.
