Local US CIS Office Review: Sacramento CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : December 7, 2018 Embassy Review : IO was nice enough. Asked all the expected questions from the AOS packet, plus where did we meet, where do we live, asked about the kids. He removed several photos, copy of my taxes, asked why we got married in Reno instead of a local courthouse. He looked through photos in my cell. Then said we would receive the green cards in the mail within the next 2-3 weeks..(small pause)..or receive an RFE or possibly a request for another interview. He stated he would review the file. Disappointed we did not receive an on the spot approval but my understanding is Sacramento does not reveal any such information. A few hours later the online app sent a notification to my phone stating an update. It went from Interview Date Set to Submitted for Interview Date. No “Interview Completed”. Apparently Sacramento Field Office does not update that information either forcing us to have to wait and see... Harassment Level : 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.
