I was present for moral support for my husband. When he was called I went up to the window with him and they asked me what's my name and I responded. The co asked me to have a sit and that he is going to interview my husband first then me. So all in all my husband was interviewed for 5 minutes this is how it went. 1)what's your name? 2)who is your petitioner? 3)what is your wife name? 4)how did you meet and what date? 5)in what language do you and your wife communicate? 6)when did you get married and where? 7)do you have kids? How many and how old? 8)do she have kids how many and how old? 9)where do you work and what is your position? 10)where do your wife work and what is her position. 11)do she send you money to help you out? 12)how many times has she visit you? 13)where are you going to live in the usa? And then he was asked to call me. I was asked the same questions except he asked me how do I know spanish so well and that's cause of my parents. He also asked what do my family think about me being with someone from panama. They are happy cause they from panama as well. Also asked about if we are planning to have children and I responded yes but I need him with me in the USA so that it can happen. Co said you right call your husband. Co then said You guys are approve. You should receive a call when passport is ready for pickup. Over all it was a long journey but it was worth it at the end. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 170 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 344 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Dallas POE Date : 2016-06-05 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : It was all good and it all worked out in our favor, God is good. We went through customs and we had to wait one hour for them to call my husband. It was full of people but they was calling names pretty fast. When the called his name the gentlemen said you can do all your transactions with your passport even get your social security card with your passport. Then he said welcome to america. I still can't believe my husband is here.

*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.
