The experience was OK; however, there was an immigration officer who forgot how to process a refugee since it had been so long since he had done it. Instead of making that person wait he held up the line to ask and process the refugee which caused the rest of the line to miss their flight. They were nice enough to apologize and ensure that everyone got on the next flight but it was an unnecessary inconvenience of the masses for one person. Other than missing my flight and having my fiance waiting at the airport with no way to communicate the change to her, it was a pleasant experience. |

| Embassy Review : |
My fiance showed up early to the consulate and there was a line. Once the consulate opened they separated people and gave them a number by what type of petition they were applying for. While waiting my fiance was listening to the questions that were being asked and answered around him by other applicants to prepare himself. When it was his turn he was called up by a young, blonde haired woman. His observation was that between cases each person would pull up the next case and review it a bit before calling up the next applicant. The lady that called him up was looking down and smiling. He noticed later that she was reviewing our pictures. We sent over 100 of our vacation pictures and he said she seemed to already look at us favorably based on our photos. She called him up asked him basic questions about how long have we been together, when we got engaged, etc. He had one sticking point because it took me a year to come and see him after our engagement. So she asked him what took me so long to come and see him after our engagement. He answered that my job's vacation schedule would allow me to come until before the holidays. That wasn't the answer she was looking for so she asked him 2 more times and he gave the same answer. The last time she said do not tell me the same answer. I know American women so what took her so long to see you after your engagement. That jogged him memory and he said I'm sorry, I was supposed to come to the US on a tourist visa the following month and was denied so we had to wait. She smiled and asked why which indicated that was the answer she was looking for and she welcomed him to the US, gave him a paper and told him to pick up his visa in 1 week. Overall it was a good experience. He stayed confident and didn't get rattled which was a key point. The fact that she seemed to fall in love with our pics didn't hurt either. I hope that helps VJers! |

*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.
