Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Honolulu POE Date : 2011-10-22 Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : Took about an hour, 2 or 3 people showed up after us so we got lucky. Officers were friendly if a bit disorganized. They first had us fill out a I-94 (which I knew we didn't need) but then another officer stopped us. Another officer told my wife that green card will take 6-12 months. Right now it is taking 3-5 weeks after CR-1 entry. Officer asked about our relationship but I think it was more chit-chat than an interview.

*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.
