Port of Entry Review Event Date Port of Entry : Miami POE Date : 2010-07-02 Got EAD Stamp : No Biometrics Taken : No Harassment Level : 0 Comments : We entered at a calm time. Both of us got checked at the US Citizen and Resident counter and gave the officer the sealed envelope. He took fingerprints, opened the package, and then told us to wait in a smalll room with everyone elese waiting. We were told to wait to be called. We waited around 5 hours before being called and we were both asked similar questions to the ones asked at the consulate interview. They told us the requirements of the 90 day period and then told us congratulations and good luck. The young lady who processed us was very nice, I think her name was Doss. The only faults I have are that we could not get snacks, drinks, or use the restroom without the officers being jerks. There were people waiting for over 15 hours with small children and they just had to suffer. I asked if I could go to get snacks and a bald, French black officer said "go and don't come back, leave your person if you are hungry" and didn't care that I was an American. Another jerk questioned why I was rubbing my neck on the way back from the restroom and I said because my neck was sore from traveling. All in all, aside from the wait the processing was easy and our officer was nice. It was the details of outside of the processing that were horrible. I even asked how long it would take and a different officer said "we have work to do it takes as much time as we have to take" then began to talk about weekend plans.

Consulate Review: Guayaquil, Ecuador Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 16, 2010 Embassy Review : This is a review of the Guayaquil Consulate. Our appointment was scheduled for 8:30 AM. We got there at 8:00AM, but then did not begin to allow people to enter until 8:15 AM. We waited inside for around 2 hours before we were called. A nice woman collected some papers, but not others. She only wanted new evidence to our relationship and the medical papers, not the police or birth certificate, nor my financial information. She asked my fiancee and I how we met, when she got the engagment ring, where we got engaged, how many times each of us visited each other, when and where we will be married and honeymoon, and a few other questions. We then waited for for 20 minutes and we interviewed by the Consul and had no problems. We got the VISA and are very happy. Rating : 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.
