I was not asked any questions at JFK. First bloke took the brown envelope and asked me what did he have to do with it! He got his book out to follow the instructions, he stamped it and I went to the office. A guy took it all and told me to sit down, 2 mins later he handed it back to me with the EAD again no questions asked. Getting through the Immigration did take over 2 hours due to the high security alerts. |

No interview just approved
01/17/2007 Green card arrives with wrong name and wrong DOB. I told them several times it was wrong over the last 3 months but still its wrong!And the saga goes on- sent the card back to the place I was told to send it-no reply so went to local office to ask them for help-they emailed to find out what was going on and then emailed me what to do. Sent papers off again to another office minus green card as it was with the first office! Papers sent back requesting more money and green card! Back to local office they can not believe the mess up between the offices they said they will try and resolve it! I wont hold my breath
03/30/2007. Still waiting for the correct Green card, they know they have issued it and have the incorrect one returned, they have also got colour copies of it but no one will take charge and replace it so the wait goes on. Three offices battling it out to blame each other. |

All that stress of waiting for the interview, and making sure all of my paperwork was all together, checking it, then checking it again. And I was not asked for any of it! Just a few questions -
1 How did you meet?
2 How many times has he been here?
3 How many times have I been there?
4 Did we meet each others families?
And that was it. The people were all very nice, helpful and pleasent.
All in all "A grand day out"

*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.
