2 Months, 17 Days - The interview

Today I went to the Border Protection office (at the airport) and submitted my application (I-192) for my I-194 US waiver (Advance Permission to Enter the United States). The Officer reviewed my documents including my statements. He took a photo of me (another mug shot) using his webcam and then took me to a room where I was fingerprinted on to the FD-258 form. Afterwards he packaged up my application and placed it in another room (I assumed it was a mailing room). He told me the documents would be sent for processing in Minneapolis and that I should receive a response in about 6 months (gulp). Finally, he took my credit card and charged me for my filing ($265.00 US). I received a receipt (form G-211) and then escorted out of the Border Protection office. The process lasted approximately 2 hours (about an hour was spent in the waiting room).
