The actual address is 34 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92703 the ZIP code stated on the appointment letter was WRONG! If you use Google to find the direction with the address stated on the appointment letter, it will direct you to the wrong building!
We left home at 7am and got there around 7:20am. there was a line in front the building and took us around 10min minutes of wait before getting through security. Do not bring any Cell phones with camera!
once gone through security go a few steps forward and use the elevator on the right to go to the 2nd floor. once you're out the elevator enter the room in front of you. slip the appointment letter and wait to be called. We were called in by the IO around 8:25.
The IO was the nicest guy ever! once we entered his office, we took an oath and sat down. He started asking the some of the questions listed on I-485 form, which all of the answers were NO.
He then only asked us a total of 3 questions. These were the questions:
1) Tell me how did you meet and decided to get married?
2)Did you meet each other's family?
3)who are these people on this photo?
Then he went to the copier and got us our approval letter and the another letter explaining the ROC. The IO told us that, on the letter states that we are going to get the Green Card within 90 days, however, we should get it not longer than 3 weeks.
We thanked the IO and left.
very good experience!

It took a little longer than what I thought. The AOS interview is on 06/08, so I don't know if this document would be of any help. |

I sent my package on 03/08 , and they received it on 03/09 (GC expires 06/08). I got the package back due to early submission. I mis-calculated the date. However, to return the package for one day is utterly inconsiderate. I got the package on 03/14 (lost 4 bus. Days) and sent it again same day. |

| Embassy Review : |
This is a review by my Fiancée:
She said everybody was polite and her experience was good. The Officer wanted her to speak in English rather than Farsi(what we've requested). She started speaking English after seeing that her signature was in English. The Officer asked her why she chose Farsi when she is good at speaking English.
The officer told her everything was good except she needs to go through AP, and to come back after her number appears online with her passport only. The Officer asked her about her job. My Fiancée said they were all nice. The whole experience was good except the waiting. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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
