Entered the USA at IAD, Washington Dulles. As I was travelling with my fiancee and her daughter from Thailand, I accompanied them in the visitors line at the POE.
We spoke with the Officer at the POE who took some initial information from us and then directed us to the secondary screening area. Officer was very professional and pleasant.
In the secondary room we waited perhaps 30 mins while they reveiwed the packet and visa information. We filled out a declaration form for currency and we were on our way. No questions were asked of my Fiancee at all...the first Officer asked me some basic questions about how long we had known each other and how long I had lived in Thailand her.
The entire process was completed in less than 25 mins start to finish. |

Interview at Pittsburgh Field Office. Arrived 130pm. Appointment was for 145pm and we were seen by the IO shortly before 200pm. Our IO was very professional and friendly. He began the interview by asking verifying some basic personal information. He said he was aware that we lived very far away and said he saw no issues with our case and that he simply had to verify some other information for the file and we would be on our way. Throughout the short interview he was very courteous and professional. At the conclusion he explained when my wife and daughters cards would arrive and gave us some further information on removal of conditions and the citizenship process. The interview was completed in about an hour. We are relieved beyond words to reach this milestone.
Green Card arrived! On our 1st wedding anniversary...nice gift from USCIS! |

| Embassy Review : |
Our Interview was scheduled at 820am. We arrived at 700am and they were admitted to the embassy around 715. At 730 the document screener called my Fiancee and her daughter and went through her packet. This took around 20 mins because of names chang and child custody documents that had to be reviewed.
After that, it was a short 10 min wait to see the consular officer. He asked about her job in Thai, then switched to English and asks how many times I visited, what was my job, and how old was I. Time with consular lasted approximately 5 mins. APPROVED
My Fiancee said everyone was very pleasant and professional. |

*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.
