Going through customs was a breeze. Couple of questions. That was it. For me it was very exciting and emotional. Very different from previous visits when I wasn't a K-1 holder! Felt like true coming home. A happy day indeed! |

A very smooth, quick and easy interview. Had all docs listed on interview letter. It was over in about 10 - 15 minutes. God bless Officer Lopez! :) |

"Card production ordered" - emails received Oct 4 and again Oct 10. But, on October 15, another email received and case updated online with "approval notice sent". I guess that's it! :) |

No online updates, just "touches" without changes. It was quite a surprise to receive AP in mail on Oct 12, as I was expecting EAD! A welcome surprise! |

Embassy Review : |
Coming from Sydney on United Airlines. Direct Flight. Landed mid morning. No problems, no delays, no hassle at all. This was my third landing in SFO, one made during K-1 process. Only difference this time was my excitment and feeling of coming home and not having to fill in "departure date" on admission card. Well.. it was great! I wonder how long before I fly in from Sydney again |

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
