I went through the POE at the Queenston -Lewiston Bridge and thought that at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday but there were already several people activating visas ahead of me and it took almost 3 full hours to activate my CR-1 and import my car. There weren't any hassles at all from the personnel there. Actually, there were pretty helpful. I had made a list of all my belongings that were in the car, but when I tried to give it to them they just asked me if everything that I was bringing was mine. When I said yes, they said it was fine. All in all, it was a very good experience. I was worried that I would get trouble from them because ever since the application for the visa was filed I got pulled into secondary inspection a lot when traveling. But, luckily everything went A-OK. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
