POE went smoothly. My spouse asked the officer to change from CR-1 to IR-1, at first he said he couldn't but after opening the package he said that he could. He was done in and outside within 30 minutes of landing at Miami International Airport. |

| Embassy Review : |
I attended the interview with my husband at the Jamaican Embassy on 12 April. He was approved. Pretty straight forward interview. Checked the ceac website today and it says your visa was printed and issued. Thought that was pretty quick. Questions asked: How did we meet? Why did we get married at RGB? How old are his children? Are you nervous about moving? The CO asked both of us questions and it really was like a regular conversation. They did forget to obtain the original police certificate, and I asked did they need the original, he said yes and took it. I also asked were they going to keep the original marriage license and birth certificate and he stamped a copy that was in the file and gave us back the original. I also asked if they wanted the updated I-864 documents for 2015 and he said no. So the big file I brought with relationship information was not needed, but glad I had it just in case. The only problem we had, was when we entered and I had a chap stick in my purse and I had to leave the facility, dispose it and stand in line again to reenter the building. We arrive around 7:15 am and we were out by 10:30 am. I am so thankful that I found this site, it was filled with so much information and I really believe that is why we got through without RFEs through the entire process. It was a long process, but now we are closing in on the long stretch. Our two year anniversary is at the of June, so we are thinking of doing the POE then, so that he can get a 10 year green card vs. a 2 year green card.

*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.
