Local US CIS Office Review: West Palm Beach FL Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : February 10, 2007 Embassy Review : 4/26/06 .... 15 mins interview. Don't expect much of this office because looks can be deceiving. Officer was polite yet strict, she asked questions in the air expecting my husband or me to answer. Didnt get stamp due to securuty clearence pending. Got my Green Card in the mail June 19. 2006. Harassment Level : 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
