Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Los Angeles POE Date : 2021-03-26 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : Biometrics Taken : Yes Harassment Level : 0 Comments : There was some confusion upon arrival. The time taken to approve my case during Covid meant the USCIS application had expired but didn't impact my entry. They were unsure about this discrepancy and asked if I was aware it was expired or if the consulate gave a timeframe for me to enter. After a little while they confirmed it wasn't an issue and my visa was still valid for entry.

POE Review: Los Angeles Event Description Entry Date : 2021-03-26 Embassy Review : Only giving a 1 as there was a confusion with my application. Due to Covid my USCIS application had technically expired and I was questioned if the consulate had told me the last day I could enter the country. I was moved into a seperate office and after a couple agents discussed the issue they said my visa was still valid and my application didn't effect it. They sent ladies to pick up my bags from the carousel and were very nice despite the confusion. Harassment Level : Low

*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.
