The interview for AOS was very easy as we were prepared with documentation about our relationship and marriage as outlined in the instructions sent to us by USCIS. Our appointment was for 10:30am and we arrived early. The interview started at about 11:00am (1/2 hour late) and lasted about 30 min. Much of the interview ended up being friendly conversation about our relationship and how we met. The interviewer is required to ask some standard questions also, which he checked off a list. The interviewer was casual and relaxed even though we were a little nervous at first. All in all a good experience. We were told that we were approved before leaving the interview and that we can expect to have the Green Card sent in about 3 to 6 weeks.
**UPDATE** My wife received her Greencard in the mail in just over a week from our interview date. We were told during the interview that it could take 3-4 weeks to print and send the card, so we were very happy and surprised when we received it so soon. Now she can go visit family. Thanks to VJ for providing the information to help make this happen!! |

My Fiance went to her interview on August 22. She arrived early before the Consulate opened and got in line. The line moved fairly quickly and soon she was handing her paperwork to an employee. Next she waited to be called for her interview. This seemed to go just as others have described so far and was not unlike what we expected. So she was called for her interview and this is how she related the experience: It was short but a little intimidating. The interviewer stared straight at her the entire time. The interviewer asked a couple of general questions and then asked her to scan her fingerprints. Looking back, we think that at that point and maybe before, it had been decided that she was approved already, but a few questions were standard. After fingerprinting a couple more general questions to which My Fiance got a little nervous and started talking too much. The interviewer interrupted her and said "don't say any more, you are approved" all the while just staring straight ahead. My Fiance thanked her and left. The interviewer never really responded other than to say "bye". It seemed like she just wanted to get to the next case.
All in all, since we were approved it was not a pretty good experience. I can understand the seriousness of the interviewer. We were very prepared with potential questions and proof of relationship papers, photos and such. The questions were what we expected. I don't think they even looked at the proof of relationship papers or photos. As my favorite quarterback Russell Wilson would say "the separation is in the preparation". We were prepared because of VJ, and we succeeded in this part of our journey. |

*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.
