This sub has been very helpful to me so wanted to give back by sharing my timeline.

May 4 - submitted COVA application for me, husband and minor-aged son
May 13 - was notified that we forgot to upload son’s birth certificate. We uploaded that same day
May 14 - status changed to passport to be submitted
May 15 - drove to consulate and turned in passport. I got there 15 minutes before opening and line was already very long. It took about an hour to turn things in.
May 20 - picked up passport. Arrive around 10:30 am and another long line. I waited 2 hours before I got everything.

For reference, I am Vietnamese American and husband is Hispanic American. We were all born in the USA.
