Embassy Review : |
After security I went to window 22, where the cashier took my passport and photo and the document delivery confirmation.
I took a seat and after roughly 20 minutes went to window 18 to give all my documents to the agent and received a little booklet about immigrants rights, spousal abuse and human trafficking. After the agent ensured all necessary paperwork was there and me confirming the address in the US where my green card and SSN are to be delivered to I was asked to take a seat again.
After about 30 more minutes I went to window 15, where the consular officer asked how I met my wife and how we got engaged and married. We briefly talked about my DUI in 2011 and that I´m on the wagon now, afterwards she just asked about my military service, gave me back all the original documents and told me "Congratulations, I´m approving your visa today".
From queuing at the consulate to kissing my wife at the car afterwards it took around 2 hrs, everyone was very kind and friendly. |

Timeline Comments: 2Congratulations on getting your visa! 🎉
I see that it took over 9 months for your case to be completed at the NVC… may I ask if there was a reason for that? My wife and I have a pretty simple case so I hope that won’t happen to us. Congrats!
*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.
