Took about 15 minutes to pass immigration. The short time is most likely due to less people traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic. |

| Embassy Review : |
This is second hand information. Butttttt this is what I was told.
Check in was super easy.
They offered an interview in English or Japanese. My wife asked for Japanese. But her interview ended up being in English. She said the man was really nice but talked really fast. She said he seemed distracted and kept talking to someone else in the room(?). He only asked a few questions; how/where we met, when we met, etc. Nothing to difficult. The interview took 5-10 minutes. So the wait was longer than the interview.
The CO asked for my wife's Japanese & Chinese police certs, her birth certificate, and something else. (I forget what). He took her passport and a few days she got it back with the visa.
Overall she was quite happy with the experience. |

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
