Embassy Review : |
On Document intake day, I arrived with my fiance to a HUGE line of folks, divided by appointment time. GUZ handles a lot of refugee folks in addition to 'normal' immigration so be sure you are in the correct line. It took quite a while to sit through the line but it became my turn and the Security Officer told me I couldn't accompany my fiance inside, but he let her go in. My fiance said she waited about 2-3 hours before it was her turn. During her turn, she spoke to Chinese persons and submitted her paper. They advised her to bring way un-necessary things to the actual interview. Speaking of which, the next day - my fiance arrived early but still waited for about 4 hours in the cold waiting room. While there, she observed countless rejections and crying; she was a little nervous. However, when it was her turn she was quite confident and the interview only took about 2 minutes. Her visa arrived within a week and she arrived to the USA two weeks later. |

My fiance entered the immigration area and went to the visitor line as I had advised. She then proceeded to the ICE officer and handed her K-1 package. Two questions later and she had her I-94 and A-number. All in all, maybe 3 minutes total time if that. In fact, we agreed to meet in SFO and travel to SEA by train together. I thought she would be about 1.5 hours or so, so scheduled my flight accordingly. Of course, she was already waiting for me at the International Arrivals; to my total shock and surprise. ....
Go SFO!!! |

*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.
