| Comments : |
Our port of entry was Washington Dulles - on the 4th of July no less. After waiting in line for a good 20 minutes and going through the paperwork (which was missorted by the embassy)with the border agent my wife and stepson finally heard the magic words "Welcome to the United States!" |

| Embassy Review : |
Svetlana arrived at the embassy at about 9:00 for the 10:00 am appointment. The interview went very smoothly and lasted only about 5 minutes tops. Actually the interview pretty much wrapped up when Svetlana handed over our pictures to the woman case officer at the embassy. The case officer just asked 2-3 questions when Svetlana offered our pictures. The woman case officer looked at the pics, gave a big smile, and said 'you're approved." I have read about interview encounters from others going back years...., and have heard about some bad experiences, but according to Svetlana, the woman case officer is one of the nicest and warmest people we can meet. I hope your experience is as good as ours. |

*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.
