Asiana airlines is the way to go when coming from Russia. She stated that customs officials were polite and worked quickly in processing. She arrived around 5pm and informed them that I had flown in from DC and was waiting for her. She forgot to ask for the EAD. |

Check cashed 12/16/2009. The staff at the Application Support Center were very kind and the entire process took about 10 mins. from the time we arrived to the time we left.
Received I-797C, Notice of Action that case is being transferred to CSC and that we will be notified of their decision!
02/05/2010 Touched.
02/19/2010 We were notified that the I-693 was incomplete. Learned that the Physician panel had ordered an xray instead of doing the TB test, even though she had never been exposed to TB. |

*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.
