That will tell you I cannot believe I confused myself, after I have annoyed my boyfriend with dates I mistook myself for the first time I met q and q first enter the country, but to react quickly and fix it ? and I said from the first time in July 2007 and August 2007 I met my boyfriend
Have your passport?
I present a passport but like the first time I enter RD q was by ferry did not need a passport and I had struck out the birth certificate and as I was looking for me says:

No, but I struck out the first time the birth certificate and submit it.
He goes to my boyfriend and tells

*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
