We had the interview scheduled for 8am and was called at 4pm, spend 1/2 hour of tedious questions abt the relationship, having met, and job related questions. The consular returned some documents and handed my fiance a note that the case requires "futher administrative processing" and was told that he would hear from them within 6-8 weeks. No information appears to be missing. On April 2, my finace received a phone call from Chennai consulate that he should submit his passport along with DS156 form, which he submited on the same day. One week past, which turned into a month, which turned into 90 days since interview, 60 days since they asked for passport and still no update. My finance has been writing to Chennai consulate for update, all he was told futher processing. I wrote the consulate asking if the case was in India or returned to the State Department, and I needed a tracking number if the case was returned to the USA. Finally they wrote me back that they are doing security check; called the State Dept in DC for update still need to wait....
Finally on June 13, 2009 the passport was returned to my finace, thank Allah billions of time, HE GOT THE VISA! |

| Embassy Review : |
My fiance arrived early as usual, an was called to interview at 4:30pm, last person. The consular was not so harsh, but at the same time my fiance was corporative with her as well. She exmained all the docs, and questioned him. Over all experience was ok, however, in writing to the consulate we did experience that they were very vague. I would be helpful if the consulate can give a bit more answers to clarify. |

*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.
