POE was Philadelphia. Was waiting in immigration for 1.5 hours (lots and lots of people waiting). He missed his connecting flight to Indy by just a few minutes.
He's thrown flew Philly before with no problems, so I think it was a just a fluke (maybe being a Friday?). He had no harassment from officers- they just asked him when we were getting married, asked for his packet, and sent him on his way! |

Biometrics originally scheduled for Jan. 9, 2017, but we were out of the country. Rescheduled for Feb. 1, 2017.
Case Status Update - on March 9, 2017 mailed interview notice. Received on March 13 and interview was scheduled for April 18, 2017. Husband is full-time grad student and cannot attend interview.
Requested Rescheduling - As per instructions, we wrote a letter and mailed to our local office requesting rescheduling.
We got a reply letter on March 27th, 2017 stating that if his request is accepted, he'll receive a new letter... (so helpful, thank you for sending a letter to say you're going to send a letter..!!!)
One week prior to interview, he still did not have an answer - we wrote another letter asking them to please reschedule. My husband could NOT attend interview. We made InfoPass appointment, but next available wasn't until AFTER originally scheduled interview date. We were nervous with letting interview date pass without receiving any information, but there is no way to find out anything without going to InfoPass appointment.
On April 19, his status changed online and said they were rescheduling (whew!). Now waiting on new letter with rescheduled date.
April 24 - Received rescheduled interview date. Set for May 31, 2017.
May 31st - Passed interview! Waiting on Oath Ceremony information to be mailed.
June 7th - Online Status Changed. Oath Ceremony scheduled and letter with date mailed. Says if he hasn't received letter by July 5, to request a new one.
June 9th - Received Oath Ceremony letter. Scheduled for Monday, June 19th in Chicago.
June 19th - Oath Ceremony in Chicago! |

Embassy Review : |
I'm writing on behalf of my (now!) husband:
My husband had a mixed experience in Philly. He had no problems with any immigrations officers (no harassment), but it happened to be very busy that day (maybe because it was a Friday?) and he missed his connecting flight to Indianapolis. :/
He was taken to a separate room along with every other non-US citizen who were being questioned or taken through extra steps before being allowed in. Because there were so many people he had to wait almost 1.5 hours. The only thing he was asked:
"When are you getting married?" and then they told him the deadline date to get married. They took his sealed envelope, but returned his X-rays to him.
He has flown through Philly before with virtually no problems with timing, so we (foolishly now, we realize) booked a flight with about 2 hours of layover (you need more, just in case!!!) We'd read several reviews of it taking about 15 minutes or so to get through, so we thought we'd gamble... oh well! As I mentioned before, he missed his flight to Indy by just a few minutes, but he was able to get on the next flight with no problem.
All in all, it was not a bad experience!

*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.
