Consulate Review: Warsaw, Poland

| Embassy Review : |
Nothing but positive things to say about the US embassy in Warsaw.
Firstly, I really appreciate that Warsaw embassy allowed our CR-1 case to be transferred from Russia to Warsaw, because the US embassy in Moscow is closed and not processing any visas until further notice.
The embassy scheduled the interview fairly quickly after DQ approval by the NVC, in about 6 weeks, which is very quick for 2021 pandemic year.
At the embassy things went very smoothly, the Consular Officer was very friendly, and was able to give my wife confirmation that she was approved right at the end of the interview. She could pick up her passport with the visa the next day already at the embassy.
I really believe the Warsaw embassy has stepped up incredibly in this difficult pandemic time to keep processing visas, especially for Russians.

Timeline Comments: 8Hello, did your interview get scheduled?
Hello Anakai, no I didn't hear anything yet. But I hope it will come soon.
Thank you! My submission date is 12/14/2019. I am waiting too.
Hi, I received notification of my naturalization interview today: April 13th

Can you please advise whether the interview was via video call. Most recent interviews were conducted that way. Can you please confirm that yours was the same way?
In addition, at what time was your interview and whether the oath was administered the same day and at what time?
Thanks. Congrats again.
Hi, the interview was in person, at the USCIS field office in San Francisco. (I have not heard of anyone doing the citizenship interview via video call). My interview was at 9:15 AM and lasted about 30 minutes. I took the oath the same day, also at the USCIS office in San Francisco, at 2 PM.
Let me know if you want to know more, I am happy to share my experience to benefit others.
Best,
Wouter
You filed in 2020 and were approved in 2021 and already a US citizen? Could you please explain?
Hi, I actually filed my N400 applying for citizenship on December 29th, 2019.
I did my citizenship interview on April 13th 2021.
*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
