| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at the office 45 minutes ahead of time, our appointment was at 9:00am. We were called at around 9:10am for our interview. The whole interview took maybe less than 15 minutes. She asked the usual "where did we meet", "when did you get married", etc. She asked to see the evidence we had brought with us. I gave her our tax transcript (filing married jointly), Chris' 401K letter saying I'm the beneficiary, car insurance documents, joint account statements, and a picture book with maybe 25 pictures from the time we started dating to now. After everything, she explained the procedure to remove conditions, and then she said that she had seen everything she needed and would let us know if she needed anything else to approve our case. I was not happy about that, I was hoping for an "you are approved"! But then when we got home, maybe 3 hours after our interview, I had receive an e-mail from USCIS saying that the production of our card was ordered! Overall it was very smooth, but I would have rated our experience a 5 if it hadn't been for the last part... But I'm very happy that it's approved and done with for now! |

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.
