| Embassy Review : |
Apart from one personal issue, this was overall a pleasant experience. Unfortunately we would need further financial support and therefore my application was suspended. I was pretty shocked when told we would need a co-sponsor and burst into tears from the pressure of the whole situation, at the time feeling like it was NEVER going to work out and knowing I'd be missing yet another Christmas with my love, however, the people that I saw were kind and understanding. In addition, I was able to mail in the required information and not have to return for a second interview, after which my visa was granted within days (arrived Christmas eve- my best present!)
From the time of my arrival to the time I left was probably 2 1/2 -3 hours although the time for the actual 'interview' (which by the way was like being at the post office) was probably no more than 10 minutes. The interviewer was kind yet professional and I could tell he simply wanted/needed to establish my motivation and sincerity behind my move. There were no trick questions or deliberate attempts at intimidation.
This was one of the easier aspects of the whole process  |

*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
