So it wasn't a big deal. The interview went really smooth. My only gribe is about the Egyptians working for the embassy. Very rude especially the girl at window 5 who I give the paper to. She tries on purpose to make you nervous.but just don't give her more than her true size . Her job is just to collect papers. Then I waited for an hour and half till the real interview at window 14 . It was a very nice and polite American officer in his thirties with glasses and dark hair. The same Egyptian rude girl was next to him to translate but he he asked if I speak English. I told him yes. So he asked her to leave. Then he smiled at me and asked how am I doing today. He asked about my old case. I told him I abandoned it and came back to Egypt for family circumstances. Co. How long have you been married? Me. 12 years Co. Have any children? Me. ..... What are your plans in the States? ...... Co.. Why did you abandon your green card? ...... And I had a police report from America I showed it to him. He was so pleased. And put it in my file. Then said congratulations your visa is approved and gave me the white paper and asked me to pay 220 dollars before I go to the States. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 119 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 310 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

POE Review: Philadelphia Event Description Entry Date : 2017-03-02 Embassy Review : They just couldnt find my old file on the computer. They asked if my children that I have now from the same spouse who applied for me I said yes. I knew something like this would happen. So I kept my kids birth certificate with me and my ex social security card and my American police report with me. Then I showed it to them. Then within 10 minutes the officer hollered at me and gave me my passport with the admission stamp and said OK you can leave. Harassment Level : Low

*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.
