Relatively painless. I took her with me to the USC side, no complaints. The immigrations officer took several minutes to open our envelope, find the right form, and write down some info. He made some casual conversation, and asked when our wedding date was. He said he didn't need her X-rays. |

IO told her she'd be scheduled for an oath ceremony in our home town on Oct. 25th, but later we received an oath letter for Aug 26th, in a town three hours away. |

| Embassy Review : |
Not nearly as bad as the hype would have us believe, but I think said hype made us paranoid enough to be as well prepared as we could. We also had lots of evidence of our relationship front loaded with our initial petition package, so I think that helped make things easier.
My fiancee said the interviewing officer was very nice to her, and the interview itself was fast and easy, just a few simple questions, and she was approved.
We had a short delay getting the visa delivered. I enquired at the consulate about this, and they were actually honest with me, and told me her file got mixed up in a pile with some from the next day, and that they would finish her file and deliver within a few days.
Other than that, no problems. |

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.
