EAD paperwork mailed to Lincoln, NB which is not on drop-down list. The race between delivery of the EAD vs. the AOS will be close - in hindsight a waste of fees for the EAD, since the AOS background/name check went through rapidly. |

| Embassy Review : |
Maria arrived very early and nervous but was finished before noon at embassy. She came prepared with an organized folder of additional evidence, photos and documents. Prescreening and interview went very quickly. CO knew how to pronounce stateside sponsor's last name correctly, which is extremely obscure - had to be of same ethnicity. Few questions regarded how many times we met. CO intently read Maria's official annulment of previous marriage and asked a few questions regarding her past relationship and eldest son. Nothing was asked of the two boys in attendance, but they had also came prepared with a folder of their own, which included mutual activities when I visited the Philippines. CO during interview started hand-voiding Maria's and boys' tourist visas in their surrendered passports; a good sign, you can't have both K-1/K-2 visas AND tourist visas. The hoped-for "pink slip" was attached to Maria's document pile at interview end and Maria went to pay the Delbros delivery fee before leaving. |

| Embassy Review : |
While Milwaukee is our local office, the AOS interviews were held July 9, 2007 in Bloomington, MN (metro Minneapolis) for Maria's K-1 status and Miguel (age 16) K-2 and Marc (age 13) K-2. Marc's I-485 paperwork had separated from the others within the bowels of the USCIS, but we brought Marc and his backup documents to the interview anyway. Thankfully, USCIS took Marc's backup copies and proceeded with all of us. Took perhaps 15 minutes, no unusual questions and was very cut and dry. The I-485 documents were rapidly read from and the answers were simply re-confirmed verbally by each of us. Told we could expect the 2-year probationary green cards in 5 to 30 days. In hindsight, our EAD and cost filed separately was extraneous, however, if there had been name-checking delays then the EAD might have been useful. |

*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.
