| Embassy Review : |
So we get to the embssy at 7:15. There's a huge line. We get inside and Walter realizes he forgot his medical results. He runs back to the hotel. He gets back and we go to a window to give some rue woman our papers and he forgot his pictures! We run back and go back to the window. She tells us to wait to be called our number was 430. There were about 100 people there! So we get called to a room and he gets his fingerprnts screened by a nice man. We go back to the wall to wait. We find a seat closer to the resident visa section. The old rude woman is yelling at people and e hope we don't get her! After an hour or so we get called and pheewwww....not to the rude woman. A nice woman asks if we paid the 350. We say no so she tellsme to go. Waltr gives me the money but he has 400, not 350. I get anxious waiting in line not knowing how its going and the woman tells me I need exact change. I go back and tel him. The woman says to go to the bank. He runs while I wait and wait. He finally comes back and we pay. Thanfully we pass that part. Many were denied right then. We actually brought too many papers. No birth certfic, police cert, or cosponsor info was needed nor many receipts. So we wait for the interview. The vending mchine steals our money so he goes to buy lunch. We wait about an hour for the interviews. There's only aabout 5 people passed. They're taking a looong time and we get nervous. Our number gets called! We go in and a nice american is there. She asks him my jobinfo, birthdate, when wemet, why were getting married, when, and looks at our pics. Actuallu, only glances at 3. She is idly glancintg at our papers. She asks how many times I've visited him. He stamers and I try to explain how many but she says"walter?" Meaning she doesn't want to hear me so I be quiet  I guess they have ways to see if smomeone is lying but he answers correctly. She then says "at this moment ur visa has been approved" and smiles..were shocked! He gets teary eyed and we hug and she gives us privacy by looking away. She hands us a green slip to return tomorow. We leave while the people left smile at us it was a wonderful experience. The security take their jb too seriously though haha. Our visa wasn't ready that day but it was next Tuesday. He'll be here next month! |

*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.
