Some Statistics for you from BCIS Page

I was told at the local BCIS office in Portland it would only take 8 months for my wife to get here? Why do they spread this propaganda to us U.S.Citizens?

I think part of the problem is that many of the workers do not realize the full impact of the system.

 

BCIS takes 1 month to 6 months to process the application.....They might think they have the largest part of the processing... However, after them, it gets sent to a number of other offices..... And, if you are immigrating from Canada or Europe, you might be done in less than 8 months..... Of course, my application didn't even leave the USA until after 8 months.

 

People that don't get the "red carpet" treatment in Canada and Europe end up with well over a year waits. Of course, I can't say that 8 months is a reasonable wait either.

 

The St. Louis BCIS Office told me that

 

"Separation brings a couple closer together"..... Hmmmm?????
