The officer was very kind and allowed him to make a phone call to my cell telling me what was happening. The interview was quick and easy. |

My fiance arrived about 45 minutes early at the consulate. Similar to other experiences here, they checked the paperwork and asked him to complete a form with our email addresses on it. All of the paperwork was in order, and he was called for the interview. He was asked a few questions about our relationship and what he does for work. The interviewer gave him the green paper and told him that he was approved. He said that everyone was very nice and friendly.  |

| Embassy Review : |
We were surprised to get an interview letter as we had already been interviewed for AOS. We arrived a few minutes early and put our letter in the box. We waited for a long time, maybe one and a half hours before we were called. Our IO was very serious but friendly. She reviewed our application form and verified information like address and phone number. She asked about joint insurance, bank accounts, trips we had taken, and if we plan to have children. Most of the questions were financial in nature. We gave her our latest bank statements and utility bills along with some new affidavits from friends. We had already sent in a big envelope of evidence, and our interview was scheduled only two months after sending in our paperwork, so there wasn´t much to add. She flipped through our complete immigration file quickly and asked a few more questions about work and school (my husband is a student). Then she told us that we would have a response in a month. We were disappointed to not be approved right away like we were at AOS, but we felt that the interview was pretty good. After more than a month had passed we started called USCIS, but got no information. After more than 2 months, we scheduled an infopass and were told we had been approved. Shortly after we received the email saying the card had been ordered. Overall the interview experience wasn´t bad, but we were extremely frustrated with the long delay in approving us. From reading others´reviews, it seems that this office has a problem with completing their work in a timely manner. We are wondering if our file just sat on someone´s desk and was ´lost´for 2 months. |

*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.
