Consulate Review: Tokyo, Japan
Review Topic: General Review
Event Description
Review Date : June 19, 2022
Embassy Review : Easy! The embassy emailed us before our appointment to let us know which documents they would require. My spouse brought the documents they asked + the docs we had uploaded to NVC, just to be careful. Working with the embassy vs. NVC is night and day. They are much more empathetic. I guess because it's a face-to-face interaction, instead of dealing with someone through electronic queue.
As long as you have your ducks in a row, your experience at the Tokyo embassy should be as seamless as ours!
Rating : Very Good

Just want to say that the reason our NOA1 - Interview date took so long is because I preemptively got the ball rolling on my wife's visa, because I even knew when/how we were going to move back to the U.S. So, we sat on the NOA1/2 for almost a year or so. I finally got a position in the states in the Summer of 2021, and moved back. My spouse's followed about 6~8 months after. We also got a RFE once, which delayed things by approx. 90 days. Once things get going, it happens pretty fast, though, in the moment, it feels like it's dragging on forever.

*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
