Embassy Review : |
Had the interview about a month after receiveing papers.
When I went to interview had a problem with my police clearance (NOT my fault - police didn't clear fingerprints and clearance together on certificate). Consulate lady said there was no way I would get my visa that day and was a bit rude about it, but when I told her that I had a flight to the US in two days she seemed a bit sympathetic and said that if I got her the document the next day I could do a walk-in the following day (the day my flight was) and she would issue it on the spot as everything else was fine.
Was in a much better mood the next time (remembered us), issues my visa without too much hassle and I made it to my flight two hours later!!
Longish wait, but not too bad. Most of the security and consular staff seemed very nice. |

*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.
