I don't exactly remember all of the dates. All I want to say is that. From the time I received notice that my husband needed to appear for an interview until the time he entered the USA was 1 month. I was persistent with calling the embassy in the Democratic Republic of Congo daily to determine when he had to appear for the interview and then to submit additional paeprwork. I e-mailed the embassy personally and I know this helped to expedite his paperwork. I saw that his visa was ready for like 3 weeks it sat in ready status but they had not called him to pick it up. I called relentlessly until they did. |

Other than about a 30 to 40 minute wait my husband was given his passport and told, "Welcome". He was fingerprinted and received in one room where we both waited a his yellow visa packet was opened and his passport was stamped [along with mine]. Then he had his photo taken his eye scanned, fingerprints. [about a 10 minute wait] Then he was brought into another room where he waited until an immigration officer could authenticate his IR-1 visa by sight. When the officer looked at it he just handed my husband's passport back and welcomed him into the US. This was about 30 minutes wait. JFK has improved their POE with computer bays but we bypassed all of that and went straight into the immigration/permanent resident visa new entry room.
Don't make the mistake of entering with your spouse and standing on the line 2 times go straight into the receiving room with your spouse. It could actually be quicker for both of you. |

*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.
