I had always hoped she'd be here in 5 months, on month 5 we finally made it to NVC...
The interview was simple and efficient, finally the first stage of this nonsense is over! |

| Embassy Review : |
The interview process was efficient. The binder I sent her was immediately given back to her by the interviewer, a young man she said. He had only one question, "How did you meet"? That was the perfect question considering I used to live and work there, after that he had no more questions.
She said the staff was polite, everything was quick, the only issue with her was that she was told the barcode and some info on her DS-156 form was wrong or unreadable. The best I can tell only the barcode was messed up, but she said some 'visa consultant' who does this often at the embassy advised her to make the following changes. She was told that she should change the answer from intended stay duration from permanent to 90 days, and the question regarding work intentions to say after work permit obtained. They accepted the forms so I'm assuming it was either good or irrelevant advice.
The one complaint my fiance did have was that they wouldn't allow her mother to accompany her inside. Not knowing how long it would take, her Mom ended up waiting outside in the cold for hours. This situation certainly could have been avoided even after being denied entry, but the general comment was that the British embassy was much more comfortable and welcoming. While not a concern for future applicants with regards to their visa adjudication, it is a complaint she mentioned everytime I asked what she thought overall. Therefore 4 of 5. |

| Embassy Review : |
Unfortunately my fiance's plane (aerosvit) was 2.5 hours late, so she was very nervous about making her connection when going through customs and immigration. Nonetheless, she said everyone was very pleasant and nice to her and the experience was quite easy. When she asked for a work stamp, it took an extra 30-45 minutes which was stressful considering the connection, but still quite easy she said. |

*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.
