POE Review: Event Description Entry Date : 2018-10-12 Embassy Review : My wife due to her medical expedite was given a yellow paper. This meant that she was able to get her visa one hour after her interview. We crossed later this afternoon at the Zaragoza bridge. It took her an hour and a half to cross into El Paso due to the lack of agents to file new resident paperwork. I don’t recommend crossing at Zaragoza in Juarez because there is a charge of 3.50 dollars to come and go into Mexico. 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.
