Best to come an hour earlier than your scheduled appointment. Taking photos and videos is prohibited so please follow rules or your entry inside will be denied by the security guards if you get caught. There will be a lot of vendors selling ballpens outside but don’t be fooled, just bring your own to save money. Phones and electronic gadgets are not allowed inside so just leave them at home or at wherever you’re staying, or if you have somebody with you who can wait outside. The vendors also offer they can guard your belongings for you but you don’t really want to trust strangers with that, do you? |

Going through the immigration inspection took awhile, so best to plan your layovers (if any) ahead of time. If you're coming in as a K1, don't forget to surrender your yellow packet as the Immigration Officers won't ask it from you. Just have the initiative to hand it to them as soon as they call you. The baggage carousel area was pretty tight so it was hard to navigate around. When I got in there, the bags were already laid out on the floor so it was difficult to find my own luggage among the rest of it. I probably spent about 30 minutes going around trying to figure out if somebody had already took my bag out of the carousel and on the floor OR if it's still being transferred. The next terminal was a bit of a walk so I needed to get a cart. To my surprise, the cart isn't free ($8 each). I only brought $100 bills with me and the machine only accepted $20 so I was left to carry 4 bags on my way to the next terminal, which almost made me miss my connecting flight. Long story short, do not choose SFO as your POE. Better do O'hare if you're going Midwest. |

*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.
