Relatively easy processing, only delay was that a number of international flights came in at the same time so there was a long line at both immigration points. |

| Embassy Review : |
It was alright, we were supposed to arrive at 7:30 but were late due to traffic - this wasn't a real problem since everyone has the same time and are just lined up...
Of course, the wait was long. We were first called to hand in the paper work (for the affidavit of support, they only wanted the last years tax return or a W-4... no interest in any of the other back-up we supplied), then for finger prints, and finally for the interview. I was told to sit so the consular could speak to him alone. He was there maybe 5 minutes. She asked if he would tell the truth, had him sign the form he wasn't to sign until there, then a few questions of how we met. Then she gave him the slip and said come for the visa 2 weeks from Friday.
Prior to the interview, a nightmare for communications and getting paper work, but we pushed for it. And once the interview came, it was a breeze. |

*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.
