Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Chicago POE Date : 2021-11-26 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : Yes,Passport Stamp Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : My Point of Entry was at Chicago. I entered 26th November,2021. The CBP officer basically asked me questions as though it was a second interview. I answered all questions. How I met my wife? Ever applied for a tourist visa before? What does she do? Does she stay in a house or apartment? Is this my first marriage ,and hers? Asked me to confirm her old address and new address where my green card will be sent. Asked me when we got married. Stamped my passport and that’s it. They didn’t search my bags, would have carried foodstuffs, fear of been thrown away made me to travel very light. P.S: Qatar airways is awesome. You sleep and wake up to food left ,right and Centre. Their staff were also very professional. I pray we all get to this point very soon

*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
