At 7:50AM Security guard checked our appointment letter and passport then another security guard check our appointment letter and passport before entering the building, after that went inside for checking and scanning (its like in the airport) they took our phone. Then went to another building, security guard gave us a number I got 003, by the way we are only 3 persons at that time. Then my number flashed at number 8, an Arabic lady took my appointment letter and passport then she went inside to get my files I think that is our I-129F we sent, then she ask for my document I gave her all my forms and documents in folder with tab but she disassemble it and she took the following documents:

My number flashed at window 11 for digital finger printing, lady told me to wait near window 3. My number flashed at window 3 an American lady ask me to pick up the phone asked to raise my right hand to swear and sign the forms. Afterward, the interview began.

Then she said ok keep this (blue slip) on September 8 1:30PM you come back here and collect your passport with visa.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
