| Embassy Review : |
My parents were interviewed together by a friendly officer. They were interviewed about 2.5 hours after their scheduled appointment (8am).
The interview lasted around 20 minutes. They were asked to provide a new police certificate (which we fortunately had), marriage certificate, their birth certificates, and my birth certificate. They were asked about how I got to the USA, information on my employment history, where my sister lives and why they decided to relocate to the USA and not where my sister lives.
Besides the wait, they had a very pleasant experience and they are extremely grateful that they have been approved. |

Timeline Comments: 5we are still waiting for police clearances from Botswana. Gt them from Zambia, RSA, Swaziland, and ZIm
That is so frustrating. Hopefully they will arrive soon
Congrats! Your interview was scheduled very fast, did you request to expedite at any point?
Thank you. No expedite request was made.
*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
