Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Detroit POE Date : 2017-01-10 Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : I had an hour and thirty minutes between flights which was a very bad idea. The lady who was handling my documents was having a conversation instead of doing her work. I was in the room for an hour after which I picked my bags and went through customs. My flight to Charlotte delayed and that's how I managed to get on. I got to the boarding gate at 3:45 and the flight was previously scheduled to leave at 3:25 pm

Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 19, 2016 Embassy Review : My interview was scheduled for 8:30 am today. I entered the embassy at 8:20am and was called around 11:40am to submit my original marriage certificate, police certificate, birth certificate and two passport photos. The lady at the desk told me I had already submitted so many documents to the uscis and the nvc so she would only take the original copies and those that had been updated. ( I really front loaded and side loaded). I gave her the updated i864. I was called back for the interview at about 12:50pm. CO: Hi how are you doing today? Me: I'm doing great. You? CO: Sorry for keeping you waiting. I know it's been a long wait. Me: That's ok CO: I interviewed you a year ago at the other side. ( it was for a visitors visa). Let me assure you the result will not affect today's interview in any way. But if you feel uncomfortable with me interviewing you, I'll get one of my colleagues to conduct the interview. Me: I don't have any problem with you conducting the interview. CO: Ok. Your visa is approved Me: 🙂 Thank you CO: You just have to bring an affidavit of support from a joint sponsor since the figure on your husband's last year tax transcript is not enough to sponsor you Me: I don't need a joint sponsor. The instructions are that it is his current income that is considered and not past income. CO: Do you have a copy of his recent paystub? Me: Yes. I submitted them earlier. ( I pulled out a copy from my folder) CO: You are right. You do not need a joint sponsor. I'll return your documents except the passport of course. Me: smile CO: Your pictures are lovely Me: Thank you. CO: So what do you plan on doing when you get to the USA Me I tell him and he says 'oh! We are in the same profession'!' A little chitchat about our profession He then pulls out the blue paper and says your visa will be ready within two weeks. (updated on December 19, 2016) Rating : Very 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.
