Correct - and neither one person's experience nor 100 will actually help you determine how long the process will take you.

Thanks so much!
Hello, the appointments at the time we booked went quite quickly and we had to wait around 4 weeks. However I would highly recommend booking your appointment and then keep checking the embassy schedule because they have a lot of cancellations. I heard that after 5pm is the est time to look as that is when the diary is updated for cancellations. Another tip - don't book you travel or accommodation until you are certain which date you will attend. I did this and had to change all our bookings when a free earlier slot became available.

I hope this helps

French Global Marketing Exec for British Company moving over to Seattle on an L1B.

Started the process on December 6th, got the petition approved on June 1st (after an RFE with premium processing), received the information from lawyers on June 8th, and interview for June 15th.

Had my interview at 8am. Arrived at 6:15am, was alone until about 6:45am. They started checking appointments at 7:30. In the embassy by 7:35 after security. at 8:00am exactly, got called up (I was second in my category after a mishap in the queue). I got told that my case was unusual, which seemed to bother her for a few minutes while she worked it out. Then, I was out of the embassy by 8:15am with an issued visa and was told I'd get my passport in a week!

Very smooth, very easy, and everyone was very kind. Cracked open a half bottle of prosecco (and orange juice) on the train back home and flying to Seattle on the 4th of July � ����.

Hope this helps the onlookers.
Thanks for sharing your experience!! I have my visa appointment on Monday - having only had my visa petition approved on Tuesday. The US attorneys are Fedex-Ing the original documents but I wondered if an email version would be accepted? Scared the originals won't arrive in time!!

Thanks for any help you can give!
