Waiting between submission of documents and the interview was about an hour. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 148 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 247 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Washington DC POE Date : 2019-07-03 Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Harassment Level : 5 Comments : POE: Through Washington D.C. we had to wait even though our documents were electronically submitted. We had a lengthy wait in the Border Control holding area. If you have a connecting flight, do plan ahead to have ample layover time. Washington is not a connection friendly airport. We had 3 hour layover and barely made the boarding final call.

*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
