We had a very simple blue jean wedding at the court house in Walton County, Florida and then a BBQ later. We are both very happy to be together, married and still dealing with paperwork....LOL!

Embassy Review : |
It's about time I updated my time line.
My interview itself was great, the person interviewing me was very personable.
The process was long, as I traveled from the island to the mainland and had to time ferries and taxis etc.
I only had a few setbacks and I just dealt with them as best I could.
The first one was my shoes, I had traveled over in dress clothes wearing runners for comfort and planning on changing to shoes when I got there, BUT you cannot bring shoes into the building, so I casually opted to ditch the shoes, they were killing my feet and when I got to the interview I realized that no one was dressed for business anyway.
The second one was timing, the Vancouver Consulate closed for the Olympics and set us back a few weeks because we were missing an "original" document. The document was the divorce papers of Micheal's first wife. I tried to talk my way around it explaining that he did get married a second time and that I am sure he was divorced when that happened, but rules are rules and we dealt with it.
The process all in all is to have ALL of your documents in order and to make sure you travel light. |

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.
