Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : JFK POE Date : 2009-06-26 Submit Review Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : No Harassment Level : 0 Comments : Hassen arrived to JFK from Paris on time and with no difficulties (This was his first international flight & he speaks fluent French so he really enjoyed AirFrance!!). Total time spent with immigration was approximately 1/2 hour which was predominately spent waiting in line. Oddly, he wasnt asked any questions & didnt receive the I-94 either. Luckily we were able to prove CBP error & they were able to verify he was NEVER processed for entry despite receiving the K3 stamp in his passport. CBP in our area verified everything, let me bring his passport to their office & they stapled the I-94 to his passport - NO FEE! Now we can continue with more of the journey.

Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Albany NY Date Filed : 2010-05-05 NOA Date : 2010-05-13 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : 2010-06-10 AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : 2010-08-03 Submit Review Approval / Denial Date : 2010-09-08 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Greencard Received: Comments : Interview on Aug 3, 2010 was such a breeze and our evidence was really weak! Total time at Homeland Security office including interview was all of 15 min & we're "conditionally" approved. Have to have Civil Surgeon put medical info on correct form as the clinic we went to used an outdated medical form. Interviewers made appt for us to return on Sept 8, 2010 with new form, told us it should take 5 min to finalize approval and that we'll receive 10 year green card about a week later. Stay Tuned!

Employment Authorization Document Event Date CIS Office : Filing Method : Mail Filing Instance : First Date Filed : 2009-08-21 NOA Date : 2009-08-25 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : Approved Date : 2009-10-15 Date Card Received : 2009-10-22 Comments : No problems at all - thank goodness! Hassen was able to apply for SS card the very same day & should have it in less than 10 days! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your EAD was approved in 55 days.

*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.
