That's no mistake there. CSC lost our paperwork and after months of back & forth between us and NVC (and attempts at contacting CSC) we got Brian's congresswoman involved and they finally "found" us. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 167 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 504 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Detroit POE Date : 2007-09-01 Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : No Harassment Level : 0 Comments : We really confused them at the border with my previous status. They couldn't figure out why on earth I was given a K1 Visa at all when their computer said I was still a permanent resident :P I won't even begin to go on about all the worrying that caused me afterward.

I received a letter in the mail stating I'd been approved on May 3rd but my status online at USCIS never updated and after 60 days I still had not received my new green card. After a call to the customer service line it seems to have all sorted out as on July 20, 2010 I got a "Card Production Ordered" e-mail.

*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
