| Embassy Review : |
Was first in line at the Consulate. Arrived just shortly after 6:00. The security guard opened the doors right at 7:30. Was nice to be inside where it was warm...lol.
Went through the security scan and was directed downstairs to wait. Waited until about 8:15 and was put on an elevator to go upstairs. Warning! They really crowd everyone on the elevator! Like sardines! Off the elevator you go to booth 14b, show your appointment letter gave her my medical and passport and get a number and wait for your number to show up on the electronic board. Have to watch closely. I was C-1.
Got called up to another window down the hall. The gentleman there was very friendly. Went through my file. Didn't ask for anything as I had sent it all in. Basically just verified everything. Took electronic fingerprints. Handed me my medical back and told me to go have a seat again. Was with him for about 15 minutes. Waited for about 45 minutes then got called up to another window. This guy was super nice! He swore me in then basically asked to hear my story. I went into the interview knowing I was going to be denied my visa. As I have to file I-601 and I-212 waivers. Turned out that I only have to file the I-212 waiver! To get the 5 year ban lifted. I really liked the guy...his name was Lawrence. All in all it was a great experience even knowing I was going to be denied. Good luck to everyone else! |

*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.
