POE Review: Seattle Event Description Entry Date : 2018-08-05 Embassy Review : Waiting in line was a lot longer than the actual time spent with the customs officer. I'm an American citizen and opted to wait in line with my fiance. I wasn't used to waiting so long but it was worth it to be with my fiance, US citizen entries are so fast with the machines hehe Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Portland OR Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : October 4, 2021 Embassy Review : We believe due to the pandemic: Our interview was waived Our fingerprinting was waived as of 10/04/2021 online USCIS status still shows "fingerprints were taken" We're just waiting for the lifting of the conditions and will file the N-400 in January. Harassment Level : Very Good

*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
