We asked for that specific interview date, so I can accompany my fiance. Very supportive embassy.
Visa approved!! Only needed about 3 hours including being there early!
We will get the visa after our trip to US in July! |

Send I-751 first in on 02/05/11, was rejected because of missing biometric fee for kids. Kids are US citizens through stepparent adoption and had US passports issued. Talked to customer service, filed again aubmitting copies of the passports. Package came back again. After call and transfer to supervisor, the kids have to pay and remove condition. Resent package.
In the end I got a check back from USCIC in the amount of the biometric fee of the kids. I also got a letter they are not getting a permanent resident card because they are already granted citizenship. |

| Embassy Review : |
Our appointment was at 7.30. We arrived at 7.00 and there was already a long line. We got in 3rd because they called US citizens out of the line and I was accompanying my fiance.
We waited to be called to window 23, the lady told us how to sort the papers and to put stamps on the envelope. Then we waited again to be called to a man who went through the papers (he asked for the military papers of my fiance), let him sign the documents that needed to be signed, collected the rest of the papers, compared originals with copies, explained the procedure in US ...
Then we waited again and eventually were called to the CO. He asked whether the interview should be in German or English. My fiance opted for German. He needed to swear the correctness of the papers, took fingerprints ... Then he asked him when we met, where we met, what my job is and when we are going to be married. I was standing right next to my fiance and was chatting with the CO a bit. He then said he should have the visas in 7 - 10 days, because the medical was already done before hand. We got the passport of my fiance back, because we will go for a trip to US in July. After being back, we will submit the passport to the embassy and then the visas will be issued. They kept the passports of the kids, we don't need them.
Everything went smooth, we were done shortly before 10.00.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
