We entered Miami following a holiday in the Bahamas. Apparently INS has an office in the Nassau airport and they gave us grief that we didn\\\\\\\'t go thru INS there. Then the agent realized we had spent 5 days on vacation so Nassau was not really our POE. Took about an hour. They thought I worked for immigration because I knew all the terms! (Thanks Visajourney!) |

| Embassy Review : |
It was an absolute breeze and we were fortunate to have a very nice interviewer early in the morning (as opposed to late in the day). First thing was the oath, then we sat down and he opended the file containing all of those wonderful documents we have been submitting over the past year (I was almost nostalgic). He went through the I-485 very quickly with Gianna and explained at the end that he just needed to review it with her while she was under oath. He took a quick glance at our proof of relationship info, commenting only that he wanted to keep the most recent joint bank account statement (we had all kinds of stuff with us, including envelopes addressed to us, junk mail, etc., none of which he wanted or kept, although we are sure that having seen it in the packet of info he was satisfied) and a copy of our marriage certificate.
From that point on he multi-tasked...stamping her passport and explaining the next steps (the welcome letter in 2 weeks, the actual green card some shrot time after that and then the need for us to start filing new paperwork prior to the 2 year expiration).

*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.
