I had no trouble there, they had me sit down in the secondary inspection room while they processed my paperwork, called me over and added my fingerprint to the paperwork, handed my passport back and said "Welcome to the USA" |

Embassy Review : |
I had an 8am appointment and so was one of the first to enter the embassy at about 7:45am and was issued the 4th Immigrant number for the day. I was sat in the waiting room for about ah hour before being called up for the pre-interview and submit any additional documents (I didnt have any extra to submit so they just took my passport and interview letter) I was asked a few very basic questions at this time about my documents to make sure they were all there which took about 10/15 mins, and then was sent to sit back down to wait for my interview. The wait time to be seen for my actual interview after that was about an hour and a half, the consulate officer was very nice and asked me a few questions about our relationship and then approved my application and sent me off to pay for the courier to get my passport back. All in all I was in the embassy for about 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.
