POE Review: Chicago Event Description Entry Date : 2007-04-14 Embassy Review : Went to shortest line which happened to be US citizens. Officer did all the paperwork at the inspection point. Then we got our bags and went to customs. They asked if we had any banned substances, we said no, and they let us go. Never looked in our bags, never had to get out of line. Very fast, very painless. Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Norfolk VA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : February 6, 2008 Embassy Review : Biometrics US Citizen was not allowed inside. Wife said the workers were rude when she did not understand them. Interview Had to empty pockets. They would not let any electronics inside. I hate airport security checkpoints and this was worse than any I have been through. Harassment Level : Moderate

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
