POE at border was early morning. They did not know how to process immigration. We had to wait several hours until full staff came in for someone who knew how to process it. |

Interview in Detroit took around 30 mins. Only needed to see originals of documents such as birth certificate, passport, etc. Only asked each of us questions about each other's parents, birth dates, previous marriages, and so forth. Briefly asked how we met, and then gave us documentation on when to apply for removal of conditions. |

| Comments : |
The process took about 15 minutes in Detroit. Biometrics previously submitted were used.
Had Oath ceremony in Grand Rapids roughly 2 months after the interview. Started almost an hour late, took 3 hours and had a lot of unnecessary formalities, but everyone was very friendly and there was a general sense of togetherness. |

Piece of cake all the way!
Everyone from security to the interviewer were all very friendly, smiling, and comfortable people. It was all very casual. The total time spent at the consulate was just over an hour. You will be in a room with other people who are all experiencing the same thing! We had a great time chatting about our experiences, where we were going, and how we met our fiances. The staff made sure we were at ease.
They did not follow their own documentation, but as long as you bring what appears on Packet 4 you will be perfectly fine! |

Timeline Comments: 1 Peot on 2024-04-24 said: A total of 2,704 days from start to finish (with a little bit of slacking off on my part).
*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.
