| Embassy Review : |
After unsuccessfully trying to have our interview moved up due to wife having to move out of state for new job, even though the Raleigh/Durham Office was ready to, we contacted our congressman. His staffer helped us out immensly finding out that it could be done, but apparently wasn't done correctly the previous time though nobody was told that (got to love the NBC). We finally got a new earlier date and when we turned up they at first thought we were there for our naturalization, so wouldn't allow my wife in. (she had to sit back down thinking what the hell had we done wrong..)
Once they realized we were there for AOS, the IO called my wife back in and the interview proceeded Nothing untoward, just the usual questions: how did you meet, when did you want to marry and have you met the parents etc. She took a picture for their records and some evidence that we gave her. We don't get paper statements so just had the bank type a letter saying our account was joint.
Towards the end she lead us down a little path, letting us believe we would have to wait to hear about if we were to be approved or not. But that wait didn't last long, after a quick check of the computer she approved us and even stamped my passport!!
As we were walking out though, we did get called back! but only to sign my wife's sponsor's change of address form that we had printed off in haste the night before.
Overall, a bit nerve racking, we sat there for a while not knowing who to tell that we were there, lol, but we came out very much relieved!!!! |

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.
** Not all cases are transfered
