| Embassy Review : |
The interview was fairly simple and straightforward, no big surprises. Arrived at 5:30 and was finished by 9:30. The pre-screener and the CO were both very polite and personable.
Reading the lists of possible interview questions here on VJ helped. A few days before the interview, we received a new email appointment confirmation that said the new DS-160 form was required, so we completed that, but they still wanted all the old forms as well (DS-156, 156K. 157). Just make sure to be very prepared - have multiple copies of all the required documentation, lots of extra evidence (photos, etc.), and be ready for any questions. |

*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.
