Comments : |
POE was in Philadelphia. The person working the passport control told us to go to a secondary inspection where they looked at the paperwork and in ten minutes everything was done after having fingerprints taken. All in all it was a pretty easy POE, but it might have helped that the US Citizen Spouse was with the immigrant during the POE. |

Embassy Review : |
We both went to the interview as I live in Spain with my wife. As a result, the interview went really well and there were no causes for concern at any moment. I think the fact that I had been living with her in Spain for two years, and with Spain being in a bad situation, things were obvious for the interviewer. In fact, the I was asked more questions than my wife! Now maybe things would have been different if she had gone alone, but who knows. All in all, after waiting so long and filling out so much paperwork, this part of the process was a welcome breeze. Hopefully it goes as well for others!! |

*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.
