| Embassy Review : |
It was as easy as it possibly can be! The first day I had the medical. It was very crowded (around 20 people had their medical), but in three hours we were done. Very simple and quite efficient. Blood test, check-in, payment, medical itself, x-rays. Once finished, I was directed to the consulate for the biometrics.
The day after I was told to arrie at the consulate by 8. Even if I arrived at the gates at 7.50, almost everybody was there already, wich meant Iwas bottom of the interview list.
Once in and when it's your turn, a very nice lady calls you up to check your birth certificate, marriage certificate, certificato del casellario giudiziario, foglio matricolare (if you've served in the army), ds-230, two pictures (you need a third one for the medical) and most important of all the I-864. Once all's in order, you pay the 400+ USD fee. Then you wait again until the consul calls you in for the actual interview. Very simple (3 questions asked: were did you meet, were will you live, are you happy to go to the US). Visa approved (all but 3-4 people were approved) and ready by 5 pm the same day. All in all, a breeze. Kudos to the Varelli Institute people and the consular officers, all of which were very polite and efficient. |

*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.
