Didn't take long once they got to us. But had to wait a long time, because the airport was closed 1.5 hours due to thunderstorms. And all the international flights entered immigration at the same time. |

| Embassy Review : |
The process for the interview was not difficult. Called to two windows, one to turn in the passport and the other the medical results and turn in photos and to ask my husband some questions. Took about 20 minutes total. The man wrote #10 on our appointment letter when he took it. We had our interview about 10am. Even though we had #10 on the letter, we were the 5th interview.
We went in together and my husband signed some papers. Then I left and the CO questioned him. Then I came in and he left and I was talked to. The CO had no questions for me. She believed that my husband married me fraudulently. Then he returned to be told the visa was approved. We left to pay DHL.
I wrote a detail description of the interview in the Embassy forum. It was a very grueling interview, but it worked out in the end.

Arrived in Miami along with many other planes that had waited for the gates to open after a thunderstorm. We were near the fromt of the line at immigration. They took us to another room. We waited while they processed other people that came in later. Asked if it would be long and was told we have to go to another location to be processed. We were escorted to the new location. That room was packed with people. After a while, asked how long it might be and they said they had no idea, hours. My husband was given a paper to sign about removing conditions. We waited while various groups of people were escorted out of the room. When they finally started processing, it only took about 5 minutes. One fingerprint and a signature. We were waiting 3 hours total. |

*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.
