April 23,2020..As we are exempt from the President's "executive order" to pause immigration to the US. We will make new flight plans to the USA ASAP.. After 2 cancellations because of the pandemic,We now have confirmed reservations from bkk to LAX via Asiana Airlines for the 9th of June..Hope we have some good luck and everything goes as planned...will update after we arrive,I hope... Received Green Card June 20,2020...approximately 89 days ater POE.Now we,re still waiting for SSN, but she has already found employment using her Green CardHopefully her SSN will follow soon!! We encountered a 3rd cancellation with Asiana Airlines..We were told that my wife would not be allowed to travel to the US with a thai passport even though she has a valid IS visa in her passport(IR-1)... We had to change airlines and are now scheduled to come to LAX via Cathay Pacific....on June 21st...I pray this will go off smoothly........... We arrived at LAX on Father's Day June 21st with no problems. The flight was quick and the POE was very fast to process my wife's paperwork. They only wanted to double check our US address to be sure the GC would be sent to the correct address.. Highly recommend Cathay Pacific>They were professional and made the flight very pleasant. Today,at last,my wife received her 10 year green card!! 08/25/20..M!!ission Accomplished...so happy Processing Estimates/Stats : Enter your I-130 NOA1 time in your timeline to get an estimated approval (NOA2) date!

*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.
