We arrived at Phoenix office 45 minutes early and were told to come back at exactly scheduled appointment time as they were back logged with people. At 55 minutes after appointment time we were taken in for interview with Senior Inspector-Supervisor for the Phoenix office. He definitely had an intimidating presence and made it very clear that this was an important interview. I was glad that we had dressed professionally. After signing that we agreed to proceed without an attorney and swearing in he asked each of us basic questions with addresses. numbers, personal details, what we do for professions, how we met, etc. the list of clear questions regarding illegal activity etc., poe details as to what city and date, then requested photo album for a quick browse through with a few questions regarding who was in the photos with us on a couple of wedding shots. He asked no questions about when, why or how we decided to marry etc. in USA. Last request was for documents showing that we live together. We shared home insurance, bank statements, receipt for wedding ring, etc. that we had already duplicated. These were kept as part of his file. Zero questions about wedding plans, engagement, etc. and he wanted no photos as part of our file even though we offered. He asked my son how was life here in Phoenix, no other questions. Then he said he was stamping us approved and our green cards would be sent out within a few weeks and that we needed to know we would need to file again around 1 1/2 years and if all necessary documentation was in that file, with good proof, we wouldn't have to come back for another interview.
We were glad we were so prepared, but our banker's box of documents wasn't even looked at.
We are going to share a bottle of champagne tonight and be relaxed that the stress is over...and we can bring our things from Canada!!!!

| Embassy Review : |
Easy interview here in Phoenix. My husband came with me and was carrying large bankers box full of documentation. Agent wasn't interested in having box come in with me, just said he found fact husband came along and brought documentation was enough to confirm all was legit in us meeting requirement for 3 year marriage.
I passed the questions and the interview. All good. Was Naturalized the same week as there was space at a special Naturalization event.

*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
