We dealt with a very nice Adjudicating Officer at the USCIS Washington Field Office, located in Fairfax, Virginia. Overall, the interview was conducted in a friendly tone ... of course, this could have been helped by my VERY sweet and gentlemanly stepson, who seemed to win the Officer over from the moment he stepped into the room. :) |

Local US CIS Office Review: Washington DC

| Embassy Review : |
My wife, Ann, and stepson, Daine, had their adjustment of status (AOS) interviews at the Washington DC Field Office, in Fairfax, Virginia, on November 16th. After making it through security, we handed the appointment letters to the receptionist in the waiting area. We waited about an hour past the interview time. We were taken to a back office by a very pleasant and engaging adjudicating officer.
She opened our files and inquired with us regarding some missing documents ... she was sure that they had been in the file at one point, but had gone walkabout. Luckily, we had copies of everything and were able to supply replacements. 
She asked us several questions: when did you meet, where did you meet, when was your first visit, when and where were you engaged, when and where were you married, and how many people attended the wedding. She did not ask for current photos, but rather looked through photos from the file ... she especially liked the photos of me and my stepson at a Boy Scouts of the Philippines induction ceremony (I took part in the capping ceremony). She also asked for Ann and Daine to reaffirm answers to questions on the Form I-485.
She asked for evidence of pooled assets. We provided bank statements with our names on them as well as insurance documents from both my old job and new job showing that they are covered under my benefit plans and are beneficiaries on the life and AD&D policies.
At the end, the adjudicating officer smiled and stated that she was recommending approval of Ann's and Daine's green cards. Overall, a relatively painless experience. |

*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.
