At least 4-6 hours between connection flights. Better safe than sorry. I had to rebook my flight. But it worked out great and now we're happily together. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 171 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 210 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Seattle POE Date : 2012-05-31 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : Expect a longer document check. Give yourself at least 4-5 hours between connection flight (if you have any). I missed mine because handicap people are being checked first and there were many of them. Good luck, and take your time between flights.

Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Anchorage AK Date Filed : 2012-08-13 NOA Date : 2012-08-21 RFE(s) : 2012-08-29 Bio. Appt. : 2012-09-07 AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : 2012-09-28 Submit Review Approval / Denial Date : 2012-09-28 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Greencard Received: 2012-10-10 Comments : For all those who're coming to their loved ones in Alaska, please contact USCIS immediatly after biometrics appointment letter is received. In many cases CIS agents can not come for procedure to Juneau and you will just waste 500-700$ on roundtrip and hotel, like me. So call Anchorage and ask if it's possible to fly directly there and have you fingerprints/Biometrics completed. Good luck. My wife spoke with USCIS officer in Anchorage after my canceled biometrics appointment and was able to make arrangements to have my biometrics completed in Anchorage as well as our interview. We are so pleased and grateful for the officer that assisted in our case because once our interview was completed, a few hours later I check out status online and our status was updated to I-485 approved. :)

Employment Authorization Document Event Date CIS Office : Phoenix AZ Filing Method : Mail Filing Instance : First Date Filed : 2012-06-11 NOA Date : 2012-06-14 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : Approved Date : 2012-07-18 Date Card Received : 2012-07-25 Comments : I would not recommend to apply for EAD separatly before the I-485 pack because it will expire same date as your visa and you would have to renew it any way. So hurry up and submit all the paperwork together ;) Processing Estimates/Stats : Your EAD was approved in 37 days.

Advance Parole Event Date CIS Office : Anchorage AK Filing Method :   Filing Instance : Second Date Filed : 2012-08-13 NOA Date : 2012-08-20 RFE(s) : 2012-09-14 Date Received : Comments : Processing Estimates/Stats : Your AP was approved in 46 days.

Citizenship Event Date Service Center : Nebraska Service Center (Military Filing) CIS Office : Date Filed : 2013-05-20 NOA Date : Bio. Appt. : 2013-05-27 Interview Date : 2013-05-27 Approved : Yes Oath Ceremony : 2013-09-11 Comments : IF you're joining the military be ready to learn a lot of information in a very short ammount of time for the interview. It's 200 questions with answers and you probably have 24-48 hours to learn it. It's not that hard at all. Many of them repeat themselves. And you're pretty much guaranteed citizenship by the end of Basic Training and Job Training.

*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.
