Comments : |
I arrived from Prague, was one of the first people to be inspected by the immigration officer. Was professional, knew exactly what he had to do, he asked me if I was in the States before and why. Then, took me inside an office, where I waited for less than 5 mintes. After that, another officer took me to a separate booth, right next to the baggage carousel, and that is where I got my papers back, together with the work authorization stamp, on the back of the i-94. Everything happened just in time for me to get my luggages and head on to my connecting flight. I'd say 15 minutes was the total time for me. |

Embassy Review : |
Everything went smooth. At 1pm we got inside, first through the security system, then upstairs where we were: 1. Fingerprinted; 2. Aked for the papers we had to submit; 3. Interviewed. Interview in itself was pretty predictable, no surprises. Questions like: how did you meet, when was the last time you saw each other, do you know his parents, do your parents agree with your relationship were asked. After she was done, she said "Ok, please take a seat and in 30 minutes another officer will call for you, to hand you your passport with the visa in it. Congratulations!"
Stress level was VERY LOW, so if you have a real relationship, this interview is like somebody asking you what time it is. Please, do not be nervous, as you have no reason for that! |

*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.
