Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Honolulu POE Date : 2015-02-23 Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Harassment Level : 0 Comments : The Honolulu entry was a breeze. There was a few minute delay waiting for an officer to help us. One came over and took the paperwork and entered information in the system. The second "supervisor" that completed the process just asked a few questions and reminded us of the 90 day requirement to marry. Overall it took maybe 15 or 20 minutes including waiting for someone to help us. No headaches whatsoever.

Consulate Review: Singapore Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 7, 2015 Embassy Review : I'm writing this based on information from my fiancée's interview. Interview date was 23 Dec 2014. Her first interviewer was the "Chinese" guy as everyone refers to him. Just basic questions about me, my salary, family, are you sure you're not married. He asked for additional pictures and the affidavit of support. He insisted that she needed my W2's but I had supplied my employment docs and tax transcripts. Her second interview was fairly easy, just a follow-up of the first questions but he confirmed the W2's were not necessary. The only missing piece of information was the documentation from the Singapore Marriage Registry that no record is found, which we just overlooked. It was way too easy to acquire and we were kicking ourselves that we didn't already have it. It really only resulted in about a 1.5 - 2 week delay but it was a pain. On 5 Jan the status on CEAC finally updated to show Issued. We're just waiting for Aramex to deliver the packet with the visa to my fiancée. Rating : 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.
