| Embassy Review : |
I'm glad I went prepared. I was the first one at the door before the embassy opened. After they opened the door I was directed through a security area just inside, asked to empty my pockets, and given a number to retreive my items when I left. I was told to head downstairs and take a seat in a chair by the elevator. After going up in the elevator I was asked to take a seat and wait for my number to be called. I was called to the wicket and was asked how I met my wife, I explained and was then asked to take a seat again. 10 minutes later I was called again, and once again approached the wicket. I was asked how I filed as the file folder they had regarding my case was empty and they did not have any documents. I told them that I filed all documents online, and they stated that I would have to reschedule my interview as they could not locate my paperwork. Luckily I brought all of my original copies, and all of the paperwork I filed and received during the entire process. I notified them that I had everything and was asked to give it to them and take a seat. I was called back 30 minutes later to a different wicket. The woman there returned my originals and some of my paperwork, and then handed me a letter and said congratulations, welcome to the united states of america. I grabbed my welcome letter, headed out of the embassy and called my wife with the great news. All in all it was a quick and easy process, but would recommend that if you file everything online, that you take all of your documents, not just what the interview letter tells you to bring. It could save you from a very disappointing trip. |

| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at Pearsons on a flight from Edmonton, As I approached customs the woman at the desk noticed my packet and directed me to an area around the corner. When I entered it was empty and I was told to give the officer my envelope. She opened it, asked if I had plans to return to canada, and sent me on my way. No hassles whatsoever, very friendly. |

*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.
