Easy breezy!
It took a minute with the customs dude at the Montreal airport. He knew what he was doing. Took my packages to his office, gone for maybe 15 minutes came back and gave me my passport with the I94 stapled inside. |

Sent a little late awaiting letters from friends to add as evidence...early BioMatrix Aug. 2, 2010.
This felt like it was expedited.
So happy it's done!
Good luck to you, too. |

| Embassy Review : |
Office/admin staff was wonderful and pleasant.
Once in with the CO, I was put immediately through the wringer.
It all went fine although quite unnerving. (see full review on VJ)
The whole process was quick. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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
