Port of Entry Review
Event Date
Port of Entry : Detroit
POE Date : 2004-05-07 Submit Review
Got EAD Stamp : No
Biometrics Taken : No
Harassment Level : 0
Comments : Actually entered at Port Huron, Michigan - no problem at Port Huron, but I had checked the week before at Algonac and was told yes, we could cross on an I-129f there so arrived there only to be met by a different immigration officer who refused to process me. Had to add another 4 hours travel time driving with 6 cats and belongings to Port Huron. Port Huron asked why Algonac didn't process and said they could have if they had wanted to! Actual processing took 30 minutes - didn't look at any documents related to belongings or pets - quick and polite. If I had known Algonac wouldn't process, we could have saved substantial travel time and gone through Detroit, although border wait times were currently ranging from 1 to 20 hours with little warning due to transport truck traffic back ups.

*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
