Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Los Angeles POE Date : 2013-06-26 Got EAD Stamp : Yes,Passport Stamp Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : My experience in Los Angeles port of entry was mixed. The interview officer, who is a Filipino was very kind and jolly. He was delightful in asking questions and he was helpful in telling me other processes to take for work and citizenship. It took me two hours to finish everything from immigration officer and waiting for my passport to stamped on. So I suggest for Filipinos who will have their POE in LAX will have and allowance of 4-5 hrs. Before transferring to another plane.

Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 10, 2013 Embassy Review : Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Arrived at USEM at 5:15am. They started collecting papers and slid it in plastic at 6am. Everything went smoothly for me. The Filipino Consul asked me where I work, he thought I was a teacher but told him I am at Social Work and he was impressed and asked me further questions about my work and I have provided him needed informations. He asked for poctures and I opened the album and showed him pictures of our first meeting and wedding. The American consul was also plesant. He asked how my husband and I met? When did he last visit me and why it takes so long? I answered him in all honesty and he was pleased. He asked me if my husband is a good man? I said he is a good chrisitian guy. Everything is well with my papers and I got approved at 10:30am. That was really fast! Rating : 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.
