Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Dallas POE Date : 2012-05-03 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : I had to go through the whole Non-immigrant line and I was the last one to be inspected. After having my fingerprints taken I was taken to another room and there I waited for 10 minutes before being called. The officer asked a few questions and it was done. He kept everything there and gave me the passport with the I-94 attached to it and the customs blue slip. He welcomed me and was very nice. Painless part, just very lengthy due to the first line.

*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.
