Relatively painless interview. The interviewer said it would take up to 3 months to get the GC, so I asked to keep my H1 visa until then to travel. But, the DC arrived within 2 weeks. |

| Embassy Review : |
It was a suprisingly pleasant experience. We had our appointment at 10, but got in around 9:45. There were a LOT of people ~125 or so for AOS and naturalization interviews. However, we were asked to come in around 10:10 and were taken to an office by the interviewer. She was evry professional and even nice to the extent that she could be.
Initially she asked for my passport and both our drivers licenses. My driving license is still my old one from Washington while my wife is the new one in Maryland, so we had to explain why (MD wouldnt allow me to switch it over). She then asked my wife a bunch of questions (my full name, my DOB, my parents names, where they lived, my old address, what I did for a job), then she asked me similar questions. Then she asked us to "show anything you want to, to convince me you live together and that you have a bonafide marriage" so we showed our rental lease, insurance, financial info etc etc. She kept some copies and returned most to us. She thumbed through our photo albums and talked to us about winters in Canada (since we had a few wintery pictures). Finally, she asked me the usual series of questions on the AOS form re criminal history etc. She asked me if I plan to travel in the next few months, and I said yes, so she let me keep my H1B visa I-94 in my passport which lets me work and travel.
Finally she said she was going to recomend us for approval. She photocopies my passport and our driving licenses. I asked her about my security checks and she said those had passed very early on. She said the file needs to be reviewed again by a senior officer but that there should be no problems. She said we will hear from them in 2-3 months (which seems long but given how many people seem to be interviewing there regularly it is understandable).
Surprisingly every encounter I have had with USCIS and CBP have been fantastic (border crossings, airports, USCIS offices), so I think I lucked out. Given the general attitudes of people in this city, I thought the interviewer would be awful, but I was pleasantly surprised. |

*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.
