PA10/11/2012 interview was a 221(g) for employment letter even though past 3 years of transcript showed 60-70k. Well known for playing their denial scheme. Will have to see what else they have in their bag of tricks, further frustration will have me asking NVC or DOS do an investigation.

Fiancee brough in paystubs from 6 months and Offer letter from work. After an hour they gave her the approval. Told her to come back Thursday to pick up her Visa. However my son will need to have a Laos Passport to leave the country, so we will have to get his passport. Consulate said for us to bring in his passport asap when we get it so they can stamp the visa. One hurdle down many more to come.

POE was at Minneapolis/St. Paul. It was kind of a hassle because my son was issued a B2 tourists visa on his Laos Passport because they don't accept nor acknowledge dual citizenship. They questioned that reasoning which was the US Embassy in Laos that issued it get my son approved for travel. All was resolved after my Fiance showed them his CBRA and US Passport. Took 2 hours till they cleared customs. Other than that everything else was good. |

Laos embassy issued B2 Visa for child born abroad. Howeved Laos do not recognize dual citizenship, so to work around that would be to get a Laos passport for the child and issue a B1. Airport official got confused since mother is K1 holder while child held a B2. All was good when child's US Passport and CBRA was shown. |

EAD was lost by USPS? Have to wait a month before inquiring USCIS about it. Called after a month past now we have to wait 15 days to a month for a letter from USCIS to confirm and then hopefully get a new card sent out. |

ROC was an easy process. Only had to be finger printed, everything was approved and new card arrived, don't remember the exact date but from memory only. No interview with sufficient evidence of bonafide marriage. |

10/11/2012 example questions was
Who is your fiance?
Where does he work?
What does he do at work?
Salary/wage?
Are your mothers related (both had same last name)?
They weren't satisfied so they asked if my Fiancee had relatives in the states. Which they do, they asked her who they were. She didn't and doesn't know, her mother was there with her. CO asked her mother? All the names of her relatives here.
Asked if she met my mother, she forgot she did a long time ago.
Results was a 221g requesting a letter of employment, all 4 years of transcript were supplied as to current pay stubs. Will have to see if employer will provide one, I know that I can't even disclose where I work base in their employee book. Also bank statements submitted, they are sure picky. Interview took place after lunch which tends to be harder. Right before lunch, my fiancee said they were approving people regardless of lack of evidence or such. |

*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.
