The officers recognized us both from numerous crossings. Joked they were crashing the wedding, but only if cabbage rolls were provided at the reception. Did not check car contents, or look at cat health records. Took 20 minutes.

Biometrics letter dated November 7. Case online shows touch on October 31. Biometrics completed December 14th in Portland OR.
Interview took 12 minutes and was easy peasy.
Incorrect green card received April 20. Returned with "no-fee" I-90 on April 21.
Involved Senator's office in June when repeated calls to MSC couldn't confirm receipt of card and I-90.
Corrected card received July 17, 2006.

Local US CIS Office Review: Seattle WA

| Embassy Review : |
The building was a little tricky to find, but once there we were moved fairly quickly through the lines to wait in a large open area upstairs filled with chairs. The adjudication officers are on the side with all the doors; we moved nearer so we could hear our names being called (it was very noisy). We were called on time.
The interview itself took about 10 minutes. She looked at our relationship evidence and only wanted the employment letter from my husband (I had an I-864A prepared and she didn't care about that either). She verified my personal information including my birthday (which was incorrect), corrected it on paper (but something went wrong in the system...it appeared wrong on my green card), and stamped me approved.
She was friendly and very approachable. |

*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.
