Had enough time to return my rental vehicle change repack some things. I made it back to US Customs security and cleared security. I then entered the area where the kiosks are. The kiosk could not scan my visa type. It instructed me to proceed to an agent. I turned in my sealed medical docs. I was taken to a back office area where another agent saw me after a 5minute wait (there was one other person ahead of me that had just been processed). Agent had to confer with a co-worker. He daid he had not done a k-1 in a long time. I told him I would not suspect there were many persons from The Bahamas that use it. He then scanned my right four fingers (thumb excluded) and took my photo. Asked if I was ready to live and work in the USA. I reiterated I am getting married and was ready for that. He told me I had 90 days from that day etc. I told him I wed in 4 weeks. He wished me well. Time including security clearance was less than 30mins. I made it upstairs with 2hrs til takeoff. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 115 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 190 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Appt. : 2019-10-21 AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : 2020-01-08 Submit Review Approval / Denial Date : 2020-01-09 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Greencard Received: 2020-01-17 Comments : Kendall Office was packed, we got into the interview at about 10:45am after security screening and a out a 40 minute wait for our names to be called. The officer, after swearing us both in, asked the questions on the form i485, and a few others similar to those asked during k-1 US embassy i.e. how did we meet, date of birth of my petitioner etc. We were out after at 11:15am. Honestly, the Officer was professional but tactful. His style of interrogation was engaging us, sharing about himself and letting us feel comfortable to share more about us. He advised us of the next steps, collected our renters insurance and vehicle insurance and declined to take the photos we had brought and cards and letters from persons aihkng is well on our wedding and other holidays and birthdays. He neither approved or denied us, but said "if we were approved" we should get the Permanent Resident card within two weeks. He advised us to apply for the 10yeae card at least 6 months before the expiration date of the 2 year card and to begin collecting evidence i.e. banking, mortgage kids birth certificates etc. for that next step. All in all, pleasant and seamless experience.

*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.
