POE Review: Minneapolis/St Paul Event Description Entry Date : 2005-05-02 Embassy Review : Fast, friendly and even thanked Ying in Thai! Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Milwaukee WI Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : August 30, 2005 Embassy Review : We went to the office on 7/8/05 to get Ying's biometrics done as a walk-in. It was about 11:15 on a Friday morning. Only 1 employeee, 1 guard and 1 cleaning person was there. We asked to get the biometrics done. The employee hesitated then said ok but that we had to wait for the newly waxed floor to dry. Forty minutes later everything was taken care of. We felt that we were interupting something important even though the only thing happening was the cleaning person buffing the floor. Harassment Level : Moderate

*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
