Where are AOS interviews held

[dualhammers 1]

The process guide says the forms will be sent to the Lockbox in Chicago, but I just moved to Washington state. If I have an interview will it be in Chicago or at the local USCIS office in Seattle?

Does that go for everyone? I tried looking up where interview are held but I couldn't find anything... Is there some reference that shows you were your interview is supposed to be held?

Yes everyones interviews --- IF --- they even get one is held at their local office.

Most people don't even get AOS interviews.

Oh, well that's mostly a relief! From what I've read, by default you file at Chicago which means by default in the slight chance you have an interview it's in Seattle, then? Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but I looked at the instructions for the AOS forms yesterday and it confuses me I'm also confused about whether or not you're supposed to include evidence of your married relationship in the package, besides the mandatory marriage certificate, birth certificate, and supporting documents for the 864... I.E. photos, joint leases etc.- do they only ask to see that kind of evidence at the interview for AOS, if you have one?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this...

If there is an interview for AOS, then it will be at the local USCIS office having jurisdiction for your residence (if the Seattle office happens to have jurisdiction for your residence, then that is where the interview will take place).

If you live in seattle your local office there will interview you, if you live in texas your local office there will interview you, if you live in vegas your local office there will interview you, and so on and so on.

If you want to include more in your AOS you certainly can. Some people say including evidence helps by-pass interviews sometimes. We included a bunch of evidence with ours and were approved pretty quickly without interview.

Oh, okay! That makes sense (and is what I initially thought). Thanks so much for the help!
