Here is my POE review as well:

The POE at JFK was very quick and easy. I went on the visitors line with my wife, we were immediately taken by an Immigration Officer. He ripped open the sealed envelope, quickly reviewed all the documents, and took digital fingerprints of my wife's right hand. The IO then stamped my wife's passport with I-551 for 2 years. At this point we were asked to go to the end of the hall and around the baggage claim area to another officer with all of our documents. We handed her the documents, and she asked us to take a seat. Not even a minute later, my wife was called up again, the officer took a fingerprint of my wife's index finger on her right hand, and stamped our customs declaration form, and we were done.

The process took less than 10 minutes, and was very quck and easy. It actually took us longer to wait for our bags then it did to go through immigration and customs. :) :) :) :)

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

On another note, I called NVC this morning and teh lovely rep told me my case was under final review...allow more time for completion, also I couldn't log on to the NVC paymnt system, it had a message that NVC was no longer processing that case...and GS told me this happend to her the day before her case was completed, so I'm static!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayra&JuanK,

You can count on that. I have the same situation on monday morning and called NVC to know the status of the case and it was under review then I called again around 7:00 P.M. and the case was complete. So, you can say you are almost done with NVC. Congrats!!!

Hey JAVC, nice to see my fellow NVC buddy! Any word yet on the switch? Wishing u luck! :star::star::star::star:

Nothing yet but I have good feeling that it will happen. What about you? I see that you've already got your interview date, congrats to you. In my case If I'm not able to do the switch I will need to wait until july or august to get an interview date because the USEMB at DR has a long waiting list and it take about 3 months to get an interview but hopefully I won't need it.

Hey does anyone knows what happen with Esposadetucho??

QUE, congratulations!!! Glad to see that everything when well for you and your wife.
