Embassy Review : |
I arrived to JFK approximately at 12 o'clock at night. There was a very long line to the officers' windows , because couple more planes landed at the same time.
Moreover, a lot of Russian people from our plane did not speak English at all (they came in one big group for the USA for some kind of exhibition). The waiting was ridiculously long, Russians could not communicate with the officer. Eventually he tried to find a Russian-speaking officer, but there was none. So he asked if there were English-speaking people in the line... Apparently I was the only one. So he asked me to be his interpreter for a while. I helped him with a few passengers and then he took my papers, checked all the documents in, checked things in computer and passport, stamped my passport and wrote the same number on the document. Then I was told to go the immigration area where I spent about 20 more minutes.
Everything was fine except for the wait - I spent AT LEAST 2.30 HOURS there. I got that stamp "employment authorized", which is completely useless... I still have to apply for EAD. |

*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.
