Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 16, 2011 Embassy Review : Interview was about 2 hrs ago and let me tell you, In an out in 2 hrs! It was great, got there at 7:45 (wanted to come earlier, but Gould pharmacy didn't open until 7:30...fyi, they also store big bags for 3£, but electronics have to be handed in separately and cost an additional 3£). Anyway, in, number I-907. At first it felt like it took forever, felt like 50mio N numbers were called, in the end it took about 50min, got to the first window. The lady was super nice, took about 10min, got the pink slip to fill out, and waited again. Took about another hour, went to a nice American guy, took less than 5 min! Asked me where we met, that's it! Be aware, in the morning, they call in the numbers in order, but after about an hour they start to be mixed up, so pay attention to the monitor. Didn't need any extra paperwork, just the appointment letter and passport. Officer said "Have fun and congratulations" and send me to the shipping counter. Took a few minutes, had to pay the £14.60 (careful, no cash! Just debit/credit card), and I was on my way. Great experience. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Miami Event Description Entry Date : 2011-06-26 Embassy Review : So easy! In and out in 2h. I arrived on a Sunday around 2 and went to the citizen/permanent resident line and was told it was the wrong line ("M'am, you're not a permanent resident YET"). But was processed there anywhere. I was then directed to a small glass room and had to wait. There were about 20 other people waiting (all of them hispanic), but the officers processed rather quickly. Don't get discouraged that everybody speaks Spanish to each other, when they call you up, you'll see that they speak perfect English. They were really nice and once they called me up it took about 5min. The officer asked questions that an old friend might have asked. He then had me sign a paper and told me my Green card would be send to me in 1 - 2 months! Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Sacramento CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : April 19, 2016 Embassy Review : First off: YES you can bring your cellphone in! You walk in through a security scanner (and have to take your shoes off) and need to show ID. Then you take the elevator to the second floor, room 200. Walk to the check in, give them Your appointment notice and wait to be called. Interview: very easygoing. The officer will go through your entire application question by question to verify details. Asked for my ID, green card and foreign passport. Then the test. Reading my was "we can vote" Writing test was "Citizens can vote" And then 6 easy civics questions (can't remember which ones though) Then he congratulated me for passing and asked if I wanted to go to the next Oath ceremony in a month or if I wanted to be sworn in today. Since I live 4 hours away, I opted for same day Note: if you get a 7:15 AM appointment, don't bother getting there half an hour early, the building doesn't open til 7 anyway. Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
