Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Hartford CT Date Filed : 2017-11-06 NOA Date : 2017-11-15 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : 2017-12-15 AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : 2018-09-19 Submit Review Approval / Denial Date : 2018-09-19 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Greencard Received: 2018-09-26 Comments : Everything was run efficiently and the people were very friendly. Security only takes two people at a time and the others have to wait outside the security area - so be aware you can't just barge through the door and the line up becomes packed quickly. Was completely over prepared with the amount of paperwork we ended up being asked to provide - better to be over prepared than under prepared! We waited no more than 10 minutes and were called in for the interview. We were asked to provide both license's and beneficiary passport. (I had already handed in our additional evidence to the receptionist when we checked in). The only questions asked besides "What is your wife's name, date of birth and place of birth?" was "How many times have you been to the US since birth?". Then the officer and my husband went through the I-485 together as the officer checked off that the answers matched - and that was it! He was serious but not aggressive, friendly enough to not be intimidating. He made a couple of jokes during the process but other than that was silent. Definitely not as nerve wrecking as I prepared myself for it to be!!

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
