All CR1 AND IR1 visa applicants were put into one side of the room and all non immigrant visas on another side. Biometrics were done first and then everyone given numbers amd paperwork was asked to be handed over like (marriage certificate, birth, police, all the original copies) then there was some waiting.. By about 7, 7 30 am they started calling random numbers that people were assigned. Husband was called up around 9 something Am. He was given the oath and the questions started Who filed for you? How did you guys meet? When did you guys first start talking? When did you get married? Can I see your wedding pictures? Who are these people in the wedding pictures?

*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.
