| Embassy Review : |
I turned up a little early at the Embassy and got through an initial security queue quickly. They asked to see my passport and interview appointment print out, and to open any app on my phone (not sure why!).
The second queue inside the Embassy was also quick, and they directed me to the first floor, to go left and left again.
I went up a lift, went left, turned left at the corner and saw a queue - so I joined it. After a minute I realised it might not be the right queue, so I went past it to a room with seats and screens, and booths where people were being interviewed. On the screens ticket numbers were being matched with booth numbers so then it made sense that this was where everyone waited before queuing - no one told me that though! Could have been a little clearer.
I waited ten minutes and then my ticket number came up. I went and gave an impassive man some documents (passport, police certificate, birth and marriage certificates) and got fingerprints scanned. He asked for a printout the passport courier details I had arranged but I didn't have that - that made me nervous but turned out not to matter.
He sent me away and I sat around for around 90 minutes before my number came up again.
This time a lovely guy asked me to hold up my hand to swear I was telling the truth, then he asked a few questions and seemed very engaged in the answers. He asked about where Catherine and I met, who proposed, where she was living currently, and whether I had ever lived outside the country. Then he said it all seemed fine and that I had been approved. Very quick and easy. |

*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.
