Location
USCIS @ 12484 East Weaver Place, Centennial, Colorado
Getting there
This USCIS office is right smack in between Denver's busiest highways. Best to get to the area with at least an hour to spare. There are cafes and restaurants a few blocks away to kill time in. Not public transportation-friendly.
Some context on our case
- Adjusting from H1B
- No known red flags
- In a relationship for 7 out of 10 years of knowing each other
- We are both in our 40s
- No children and not previously married
Bona Fide documents submitted in the AOS application
- Colored copy of marriage certificate
- Joint car insurance
- Joint apartment lease
- 8 photos
Additional Bona Fide documents brought to interview (original and duplicate):
- Letters from both our 401k companies stating that we are each other's designated beneficiaries
- Joint car ownership
- Summary of benefits from my employer stating that my husband is the beneficiary of my employment-sponsored insurance and that he is on my employment-based health insurance
- Our health insurance cards
- Joint electric bill
- Three most recent pay stubs showing my tax status as married
- More photos of the wedding and reception and from our 10-year friendship and romantic relationship
What the IO asked to see and added to the file
- Some of our new photos
- Letters from both our 401k companies stating that we are each other's designated beneficiaries
- Joint car lease
- Summary of benefits from my company stating that my husband is the beneficiary of my employment-sponsored insurance and that he is on my employment-based health insurance
Interview sequence
- IO asked for our passports and drivers licenses, my social security card, and my EAD/AP card, all of which she made copies of
- IO gave a brief explanation of what the interview is for (to determine if the marriage is real), then asked us to stand up, and swore us in
- She went through the AOS application, verifying both our basic information (full names, address, date of last entry into the US, types of nonimmigrant visa used, etc)
- Then the yes or no questions
- She asked both of us details about each other (city of birth, parents' names, birthdays, etc..)
- Then she asked us to tell our story
- Then she asked for pictures and additional bona fide documents.
- We chatted a bit about the photos. This part was actually very nice.
- I wasn't even done giving her all the additional bona fide documents I brought (I brought seven. I had just finished showing her the third.), when she said she was going to approve my AOS application.
- She took my I-94s and told me about removal of conditions procedures and to expect my card in three to six weeks.
- Fin! The interview probably lasted 20 to 25 minutes.
Impressions on our IO
Our IO was a Latina woman in her early to mid-30s and very congenial. She was methodical and thorough during the interview, but not afraid to share a little about herself. She struck me as someone who has pride in and derives meaning from her work. |

*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.
