My Fiance and I made her POE together at Chicago O'Hare Airport on April 24th. We went to the Foreign Visitor Visa line at Customs/Immigration (I went with her despite having a US Passport). My Fiance is originally from the Philippines and the officer happened to be a Filipino born/raised immigrant, how ironic! As soon as she handed her Pilipinas passport over to him, he spoke to her in Tagalog. Apparently his first question was "Who's this guy standing next to you?", which she responded "My Fiance", he asked how we met (in Tagalog language) and how long we've known each other. The officer was very nice and even cracked a few jokes at me -- asking if I ever tried "Balut" when I was in the Philippines, then he yelled over to another officer "Hey Rodriguez! This American guy tried the Balut! I told you man it's not that bad!". All of the officers at O'hare seemed very nice, looking at their interactions with other foreigners. He then asked for her sealed packet from the embassy. He opened it in front of us, and we saw all of our application paperwork (original approved I-129F, many other documents we had submitted with our application, some other documents from the embassy). He asked a few basic questions of...where we met, how we met, why was my Fiance in Canada for so many years (work visa), what did she do there. He did ask what she plans to do for work here in the US. He asked where we will be living. Gave him the address. He said he just needed it because they forward it to the nearest customs office, where they will retain our paperwork / record keeping purposes. After that he stamped a few things on our paperwork and lastly her passport and said we were good to go.
Total time for everything was maybe 10 minutes? Very nice stress-free experience overall. All in all we are so happy this whole process is over and we are FINALLY together! Wahoooo!!!! |

Awesome interview! No questions asked other than names, date of birth, address, parents names, and the standard yes/no questions from the i-485. She was very pleased that we front loaded the AOS packet heavily and said she had all the evidence she needed and would approve our Green Card. Interview itself was maybe 5min, but we spent 15 min just chit chatting with the USCIS officer whom was super nice. |

*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.
