Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Atlanta POE Date : 2017-04-28 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : I went into the usual screening area for arrivals into Atlanta and was taken around the electronic passport machines to the desks you go to when you fly in for the first time. The CO asked who I was here to see (my fiancè) and why (to get married), which then gave me the opportunity to hand over my package. He took the package and fingerprints from my left hand, then a picture. He wrote K1 on the packet and passed it over to a lady who took me to a waiting area. I waited around 40 minutes and was called over. My passport had already been stamped and signed by the new CO and all he did was hand over a sheet about how to file a petition for a fiancè(e) (really??) and how to adjust status. In total I was there for an hour. The CO said welcome to the United States and saw me off with a smile! Easy peasy - just the waiting that drives one slightly crazy...

*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
