POE Review: Detroit Event Description Entry Date : 2005-07-29 Embassy Review : Wasn't going to give me the stamp ... said I didn't need it. Told them I had a job lined up and was told by employer I did need it. He shrugged his shoulders and gave it to me :-) Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Saint Paul MN Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : October 4, 2006 Embassy Review : The interview was a piece of cake. The officer was really nice and he talked to my son about sports and his school. He of course wanted to see various "original documents" ... which we had. I also offered up our wedding album and pictures of the honeymoon at Disney (that we took my son and his two kids to with us). He looked through our file and looked up some stuff on the computer (don't know what). It all took about 20 minutes and he then told us everything looked fine but he couldn't give us our approval because my name check hadn't come through yet. He said the earliest to start looking for it would be October !! Harassment Level : Good

*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.
