Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : POE Date : 2006-10-15 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 5 Comments : Attempted to cross at Buffalo but the customs/immigration office had been without power for a few days (there had been a snowstorm--in October!!!--but there was not one flake on the ground that particular day). They took my packet, asked me to wait and then called me up 45 minutes later to tell me they hadn't had power for days and that they couldn't possibly process me. The woman who told me this had attitude to spare. WTF??? Drove to Niagara Falls where I went into a room with at least 50 other people. Strangely, I was called first. They were very rude to my husband who simply asked if he could come into the room with me for fingerprinting. (The said no.) We were on our way within 30 minutes. I wasn't really harrassed at any point but it wasn't a wonderful experience either.

Appt. : 2010-05-12 Interview Date : 2010-08-19 Approved : Yes Oath Ceremony : 2011-09-01 Comments : Originally filed a year ago and was denied at the interview. The IO denied me saying I had not met residency req't as I applied 90 days prior to my third anniversary of landing in the US. Her supervisor said I met the req't according to the regulations but the statute was contradictory. Homeland Security's legal counsel said the statute prevails. I had no recourse but to apply and pay again.
