Member Reviews:

POE Review: Orlando Event Description Entry Date : 2004-05-19 Embassy Review : Very friendly people, had to wait for 1 hour but otherwise no problems at all. Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Orlando FL Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : June 13, 2006 Embassy Review : Interview went well. Only took 30mins. Asked for the normal stuff. Did not ask for new affidavit of support though, thought she would as it is over 1 year since we submitted the AOS app. She asked my American husband more questions than me about our relationship!! Just make sure you have copies of everything and take evidence of your dating if you dated for a while, eg phone bills and cards with copies or she will take the original!! Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
