At least we are safe with that!

POE Review: Houston Event Description Entry Date : 2014-06-11 Embassy Review : We traveled together from Kiev to Houston. Upon arrival we went to the US Citizen line, because of myself, but were told to go back to the "Non-Citizen" line. Disappointed in this. My family was with me. Oh well, can't fight city hall. All went very smoothly...my family was taken inside and I was told to wait outside while they processed. Similar questions were asked about how we met, how many times I visited and then they asked when we would get married. This caused some confusion because of translation issues, but it all worked out.Overall a very easy process. Harassment Level : Low

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
