POE Review: JFK
|
| Event |
Description |
| Entry Date : |
2008-03-02 |
| Embassy Review : |
After arriving to JFK, the first thing is the passport control. I was flying in together with my fiancee. We were directed to the visitor's lane by the Delta crew. The line there moves really slow. We went in the leftmost lane, which was a big mistake. All the people on the wheelchairs / old people who have trouble walking, they direct them to the leftmost lane to the front, so besides the reg people in the line you have to wait till they pass as well. So after being among the first people in the general line till we arrived at the window we were among the last.
At the window the officer looked at her passport, took the packet from the embassy, unsealed it, started looking through the stuff, and then his facial expression changed. The whole time before he was very friendly, smiled, but when he started looking through the packet, he took out one paper from there, i couldn't really see what it was at first, pointed to a line on it and the dialogue was approximately as follows:
Him: It says it was issued in 2006, when did you meet?
Me: 2007, we first spoke on the phone in Feb and then met in person in April.
Him, in a very accusing tone: How can that be? It says it was issued in 2006
I, kinda nervous at that point: Dunno, but we met in 2007
Him: How did you meet?
Without waiting for me to answer called in another lady officer, who was probably his supervisor, showed him the paper
She: That's a copy where is the original?
He, looking through all papers from sealed envelope: There is no original here, turning towards me: Where is the original?
I'm: Huh? What original?
The supervisor lady to him:, OK, it's fine, that's a K1, waive them through, put a 90 day stamp.
He: I don't do that, they have to go to the secondary.
At that point I manage to take a look at the paper he was looking at which had 2006 on it, and noticed that it says that my fiancee's passport was issued in 2006 and valid till 2011
I point it out to the officer; he's like, ok, it's fine.
He then takes the passport and all the documents from the envelope and tells us to go with him into the secondary, where he gives the passport with the documents to the officer in the room, tells us to take a sit and leaves. We wait for about half an hours till they get to our case, didn't ask us any more questions, took the embassy documents, stamped the EAD into my fiancee's passport, and that was it. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
