Took over one month for them to transfer to the Paris consulate. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 113 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 210 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Norfolk VA Date Filed : 2009-02-05 NOA Date : 2009-02-09 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : 2009-03-04 AOS Transfer** : 2009-03-17 Interview Date : Approval / Denial Date : 2009-04-02 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Yes Greencard Received: 2009-04-18 Comments : 2 year Permanent Resident card Issued not Green Card. Mission accomplished! No interview needed. I think they should sustain this for all K-1 Visa's since you have to interview prior to POE and after the 2 year probationary period.

POE Review: Washington DC Event Description Entry Date : 2008-12-30 Embassy Review : First time I spend so little time in Dulles airport! I landed at 12.50pm and was out of the terminal at 1.30. no kidding! I usually arrive in DC in the evening together with many other international flights, meaning horrible queues.. Here I didn't have to queue one single time! first officer just asked when was the wedding planed then told me to go get my bags and then to go the second officer (on the right just before living the international zone). There I spent about 3/4 minutes. the officer asked me how we meet and when was the wedding planed. I asked her about the temporary EAD. she said they stopped giving it in 2001.. Then there I am outside in the arrival zone, waiting for Kai who thought I was gonna be out way later then that!!! was my best experience ever in Dulles (ps: when u enter the bus that takes you from the plane to the custom you wanna stay at the entrance of the bus so you're the first entering the custom queue ) 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
