Member Reviews:

Local US CIS Office Review: New York City NY Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : March 25, 2022 Embassy Review : Easy process. Arrived 15mins ahead of appointment time. Waited around 45mins and then we spent about 20-30 mins with the officer going over documents and answering questions. They were very easy to talk with and they said a final review of paperwork would happen that day. We received approval the next day and Green Card arrived in mail 6 days after that. Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
