Very fast and nice, barely any questions asked. I had to go to the secondary, waited there 15 minutes while they were going through the file and that was it. They did ask me if I had a return ticket (more in a jokingly manner), I knew I did not have to have one and told them we will be building our life here, at which they laughed. During my wait, the officer did glance at me several times while walking back and forth with my docs. Then they told me it's done and I left the area. Overall waiting time and time spent at the airport after arrival was about 45 minutes |

a year later after filing, on 10/06/2022 we got the RFE for the marriage certificate that we submitted initially. So it delays everything even more |

*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
