| Embassy Review : |
I’m finally ready to share our AOS interview experience on July 26th in Baltimore, Maryland
Timeline : NOA1 - May 3d, Biometrics -June 4th, AOS interview - July 26th
So my husband (US citizen) and I ( applicant) gathered all the needed documents from the list sent by USCIS. ( we got letter with interview date one month ahead) Our appointment was on July 26th at 4:00 p.m ( which is the time when office closes). We came there earlier , registered at 3:30 and started waiting ( advice here: if you have appointment closer to the end of the working day- DONT be late, they won’t let you in) . At about 4:15 officer called me by name , my husband and I headed to the door and here a very weird thing happened: she said: “ I need only Maria( applicant) for this, you ( husband) can stay here, in the waiting room “
That is what made us VERY confused, as we’d never read anything like this before .
After those words, I went with the officer to the interview room and was told that I’ll be videotaped and that the reason why she hadn’t called my husband is that I’m the applicant for this form and she needs only me to answer the questions. The interview itself went as I expected except for the first few questions :
if I had my original I-129f form( which I obviously didn’t have, because it was in the sealed envelope which I had given to the officer at POE ) . This made me confused but later we figured it out
If I had my EAD ( which I didn’t have too, and I thought they knew it)
Then questions were basic: she went through all I485 form, checked literally every question there, including what my Social Security was , when we got married, where , what are our DOB, where I lived before , etc. There is no need to go further, as I was asked every question in the form. Then she headed to the section with YES/NO questions ( it was the longest part of the interview). Finally she asked if I wanted to add anything that can help , I gave her our BGE papers , joint bank statement , insurance papers , a few photos from different occasions , and a letter/invitation to the wedding from our friends ( with both our names and address ). Then she said it would be enough
P.S when she was going through the form she made a few corrections there and in the end I signed that I confirm all the corrections mentioned . She also wrote down some of my answers in details ( like
If We want kids in future, what are our plans for the coming 10 years , etc.)
In conclusion , she gave me a standard paper , which says that “ your case is being held for reviewâ€). I asked if our case seems fine to her. She said she can’t make any decision yet and we should wait for updates online. That was it , after the interview , in like 30 minutes , our case updated to “interview was completed and your case must be reviewed “ , since then no updates yet... today is August 8th . Still waiting ! |

*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.
