| Embassy Review : |
The whole thing went really smoothly for me. I turned up at the Gould Pharmacy to hand in my mobile and anything else that i had in my pockets that was not needed (like earphones- i figured better to be safe than sorry). They put everything in a baggie and give you a receipt.
There was a queue out the front of the embassy when i arrived, and it was raining, there was no cover, but i didn't expect there to be. Someone checks your papers, then you proceed thru the little security hut where the x-ray you and your stuff, airport style.
Then follow the arrows to the lobby area which is just a large hall filled with chairs, information screens in the middle, and a little shop where you can buy refreshments. There is a passport photo booth too, in case you need it.
The desk in the antechamber stuck a sticker to my appointment letter which had a ticket number which was my turn to be called. I took a seat, and within 30 minutes my number had been called.
The first window contained a humourless woman who took my paperwork, and struggled to operate a small digital camera attached to her computer to take my photo. After this, she directed me to the cashier, where i paid my fees, and was told to take a seat back in the main hall again.
A little while later, I was called back to another window, where a very friendly, smiling man was waiting for me. He asked me questions about how me and my fiancee had met, and when. I can't remember whether he asked my anything else, but if he did, it was kinda obvious stuff. We laughed about something funny my fiancee had written in a IM conversation that we'd included in our evidence pack. I really wasn't expecting him to be so nice! He then smiled all the way across his face and told me he was delighted to approve my visa, and i allowed him to keep my passport so he could put the visa in and have it mailed to me (you can choose to keep the passport until they send you a notice, then mail it to them).
I was given some more pieces of paperwork, then directed to the courier desk inside the embassy, where i was given options about how quickly the courier would mail me my visa and passport once it was ready (regular 3 day, expedite, saturday delivery etc). Then i left, went to the pub and had a pint, feeling very pleased with myself!! |

*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.
