I entered to the US for first time with the immigrant visa to El Paso to give my visa package at the Cordova bridge, I did not have any problems, I had to wait like 30 minutes to give it to the BCP/USCIS people. Waited sitting in a large room then I went through other inside offices, there they took my fingerprints then sealed my passport. Then I went back to Mexico to get ready to oficially enter to live in the US. I, then traveled and entry through IAH/ HOUSTON airport, I did not have any problem, they just asked me if I was bringing any valuables or alcohol. I lined up with US citizens and residents for the first time!. I was expecting to have to fill other I-94 form, but my surprise was I did not have to fill anything just had to show the passport and that was it!... |

My interview for the N-400 just had a small delay bc on the interview date they gave the "A decisition cannot be yet ready". But after one week I was called to sign the form and was "Recommended for Aproval" from the IO. I am so happy this is finally the end of all of this immigration journey. YAY. I am happy to be a new US Citizen!. After my interview I did travel to Mexico for 2 weeks. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had a smooth interview. The officer was an anglo female who was just plain. I had given all documents that the NVC required us, so at the interview I had not to show anything else, they only asked me for my medical test and my prior US visa. I did not want to give my old visa because that had a special meanning to me but I had to give it. The worsest part of the whole interview experience to me was to be standing in all times during extreme weather conditions (cold). Juarez is nice city, and if you get prepare for this you will actually enjoy traveling there.  |

*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.
