It really isn't complicated at all. Once I got to the customs agent, I just gave him my documents and visa. We made chit - chat about my fiance and where we will be living. A date needed changing on one of my documents so I was then taken to another section of customs behind a door. I was told to sit down and wait and a lady looked over my documents and literally did not talk to me at all. She called over her supervisor and he signed off on my documents. She then looked up at me and said: "You're all set". She handed me my passport and kept all the documents and I could go and collect my bags. Took around 10 minutes. IMPORTANT: Make sure you keep your documents you need in your carry on luggage as you will not be able to collect your checked luggage before going through customs. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 197 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 310 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

The officer didn't look at a single piece of paper we prepared. All she did was confirm the answers we had on our green card submission form and then said we were approved. We got the green card before we heard back for the EAD or AP so we were told those will be denied now because we have a green card.

*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
