Our interviewing officer was very nice. However, Dulles POE officer either didn't forward the vaccine paper or it was lost in the shuffle. Husband had to pay $200 to get vaccines all over again. One way to avoid this - DEMAND THAT YOUR DOCTOR IN THE ORIGIN COUNTRY GIVES YOU THE COPY OF THE MEDICAL FORMS. They're supposed to do it (it says so on the forms), but his doctor in Ecuador didn't do it. Wasted an extra 5 days and $200. |

Our interviewing officer was very nice. We weren't separated. We took evidence (photos, cell phone records, bank statements, receipts from honeymoon, etc), but the officer didn't look at them. He just put them in our file and said that they would review them when we applied for lifting of restrictions. I assume this happened because my husband came on a fiance (K1) visa, so we already had established our relationship as genuine. The interview took all of 20 minutes. He asked us how we met, if we did long distance, where we live, about the wedding and our plans for the larger wedding next year (because we're having international family come next year), and other super minor stuff. Turns out the application for work authorization and travel permission ARE INCLUDED in the I-485, which we didn't know. No extra cost. Wish someone had told us. Would have made life a lot easier.
The only problem: Dulles POE officer either didn't forward the vaccine paper or it was lost in the shuffle. Husband had to pay $200 to get vaccines all over again. One way to avoid this - DEMAND THAT YOUR DOCTOR IN THE ORIGIN COUNTRY GIVES YOU THE COPY OF THE MEDICAL FORMS. They're supposed to do it (it says so on the forms), but his doctor in Ecuador didn't do it. Wasted an extra 5 days and $200. We're waiting on the green card now.

*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.
