| Embassy Review : |
I had an afternoon interview. We arrived half an hour before the appointment. We left pretty much everything in the car except paperwork. So, we didn't have to worry about our cellphones or other items. They do check them at the door. They also check your ID and interview notice.
After going through the security we went up to the third floor. In the waiting area there were about 15-20 other couples already waiting. We gave our interview notice to the receptionist and sat. About 10 minutes later I was called by receptionist. I was fingerprinted at the reception (right and left index fingers) and have my picture taken.
We waited about 15 minutes. A gentleman came and invited us to interview room. He was a pleasant person. He checked our ID's. He requested the copy of our lease, utility bills, life insurance cards, and bank statements. First he asked some of the questions from the 485 form, such as if I ever was prosecuted, if I ever lied for immigration benefits, etc. He asked us our birthdays and marriage date. He also asked our current address and previous addresses.
I had prepared a huge list of proofs including pictures, but he didn't asked for them and said he had enough proof. I could see in my file he had everything I ever submitted to USCIS before. He congratulated me and said I was approved and as of today I was a permanent resident of U.S. He took my EAD card and put it in my file. He gave me an approval letter and told me to expect my 10-year green card in the mail within 2 to 3 weeks. I was so happy that I forgot to ask him to stamp my passport.
Interview part was about 15 minutes. The whole experience lasted less than an hour! I am so glad this is over. Knowing that I am done with USCIS until I apply for citizenship is really priceless! |

*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.
