Hello DeGodefroi

Did you ever et your Citizenship interview.  I'm still waiting for my permanent greencard after waiting 10 months for biometric appointment last August still waiting for any movement.  Sadly!

On Wednesday December 19th, 8:15 AM  we had our Green card  interview . We got there 30 minutes early (by the way just a reminder the parking attendent takes cash only, no credit or debit cards. Parking cost $7.00).

We walked into the building went through security no problem.  Went to the recption desk the lady working there is so friendly and sweet.  The receptionist gives you a paper ticker with your number on it.

We get to the interview waiting area and sat near the right side of the room. Waited about 20 minutes past interview time  Our interviewer greeted us saying she recognized us from our picture.  She was very pleasant and very easy to engage with in conversation. We started our meeting with standing and raising our right hand to swear that we were telling the truth in the interview. She made some small chat and asked us for our proof of living together.   We gave her all the information like, phones bills, copy of proof we did tax return together, car insurance, house purchase any utilities bills and health care insurance etc.  Then she asked me a few question like what date was my birthday, what date was my husbands birthday, how did we meet, what date was your wedding, where was my husband born.  Then she informed us she would have to ask us a list of question from off of the forms we sent in.  So we answered them all.  Then she asked my husband a few questions about how we met. She did not ask for the marriage certificate or a copy of the medical.  These were already in our file from our K-visa interview)

We gave her a whole new bunch of pictures from after the wedding till now and showed her our wedding album. Then we signed the document stating everything we said we true to the best of our knowledge.

We asked a few questions as well stating we had moved and electronically changed our address and were given an email stating it had been done on their end.  I phoned before the interview confirming that they for sure had our correct address they said yes again and then sent it to our old address.  Thank goodness for mail address forwarding.  So she made sure she had the correct address and also asked what name I would like the green card to be  I stated my married name.   But I noticed she never really said you have been approved. She said everything would take a couple of weeks.   So at first we were excited and then upon retrospect I kept saying she never told us we were approved.  She did say she had to review the material.

About 8 hours later we got a text stating our status had changed so we checked and it stated:   We had completed our interview and now they were reviewing everything.  Then my husband got an email stating that  our interview was complete and a long list of things that needed to be done for the next steps like getting a security check, and getting an appointment for biometrics and we are like what??? We already did that!!!  Clearly it was a glitch or someone pressed a wrong button who knows  So I phoned the next day and they said there was nothing like that on their file.  After stressing  today finally we got the notice that the card was being produced. Our interviwer had said they have been having alot of problems with their computers and wished they would go back to the old carbon copy way! lol   So it took almost 2 days to get the confirmation that greencard was being produced.

It appears after the interview they take time to review everything and then make their decisions.  That's how it is done now. so don't freak out if you don't get an answer right away.

Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas!  

Hi to all those July2017  AOS filers whom already went  to their interview in The Seattle USCIS Washington office..  Does anyone remember whether the parking lot meters take credit cards or coins?  I seem to vaguely remember something about meters and coins only.

I'm heading out to my interview tomorrow and I just could not remember.  I wanted to be prepared just in case!  Thanks in advance!

Hello Andsco

Quick question?  Did you guys submitt your I-693 medical form with your I-485 application?

Or did you just submitt it when you had your K-!1 visa interview at the embassy?

I can't remember if we sent ours with the I-485.

Hello July/ 2017 Seattle AOS filers. 

A friend sent me this link explaining why the lengthy waiting time for green card interview.  Check it out!  Worth a read!

 Doesn't change lengthy wait times but at least it is an explanation.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna912946

 I just checked the timeline on USCUS for filing of AOS I - 485.  It went from 10 months to 19 months now to 15 .5 months to 29 months!!!!

And the date has been pushed back from October 26 / 2016 to May 2016.  Feeling very discouraged.  

Has anyone adjusting Status in the Seattle washington area had an interview?  I need some encouragement!

So Last July 28/ 2017 USCIS  stated we  recieved  your application for Adjustment of Status.  Our onlince USCIS acount stated: As of September 6, 2017, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice. 

Then sometime during the summer it changed to we are booking your interview.  We have a large volume of applications to book.  You may not hear from us right away.  There is nothing you need to do at this time.  We will contact you when we book your interview.

Today it changed to: As of March 15, 2018, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. 

This looks exactly like the September 6th statement only 7 months later.  Confusing!  I hope this does not mean we will have to  wait another year.  Anyone else have this happen to them?  

Anyone from Seattle Washington area whom are Adjusting their status recieved an interview letter and date yet?  I'm lookimg for some encouragement that the line up is actually moving. I look forward to your responses!!!

Any July 2017 filer's in Seattle receive an interview date yet?  It seems like nothing is moving at the Seattle office.

Hello! Any July 2017 AOS filer's out there seen any movement for interviews in Seattle Washington office? I'm still waiting!!!

Hello.   

Has anyone in July 2017 had a letter yet with interview date for Adjustment of Status for K-1 visa?  The Time line for I-485 in Seattle Washington is Still in December 2016.   I am wondering if this is an error?  Either that or why is this taking so long?

Hello Everyone

I'd like to call this Sleepless in Seattle. lol  I applied for Adjustment of Status in July 31, 2017. By September 6th My online status change to Ready to book an interview appointment.  We waited for a couple of weeks as well with nothing coming in the mail.  We finally sent in a request for information.  Their response didn't really say anything much helpful.   The USCIS processing timelime  for I-485 keeps changing from December 2016 then back to November 2106 no it is December again.  Good grief.  Any ways I was wondering if  anyone here had applied for I-485 in July and if that had anyu response yet to interview date?  Any any ideas of how far along the Seattle office really is in processing.  Thanks.  I look forward to any response.
