Review Topic: General Review

I went to have my biometrics taken at the new ASC in East Hartford, CT. It's located at the School Street Shopping Plaza, next to Subway. It was very easy and quick. I didn't have to go through security and I even saw people with cellphones, which are apparently forbidden. I only went in with my appointment letter and driver's license.

I had to fill out a quick form and after giving it back to the receptionist I was called for a picture, signature and fingerprints.

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

we had our appointment scheduled for 3/2/2017. arrived about 45 min early. The building is a little hard to notice right away but once we found it, we went in.. they accepted us early, answered all sorts of questions and moved us through very quickly.. The workers here were an absolute joy to interact with as well and being efficient. I hope the rest of our interactions go this well.

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

I am truly pleased with the efficiency and all around courtesy I experienced at Hartford Field Office 2 days ago.
I am the beneficiary and my husband is the petitioner, a USC. My husband and I arrived at the Hartford office at 10:17am for our 11am AOS interview. We never got into the building to check in until 10:53 due to a large amount of people and only 2 security officers on duty. We checked in and the friendly receptionist asked if we had any documents to submit for proof. I was a bit surprised since I expected to present proof while with the officer. I handed all of the copies that we had made and she asked us to have a seat.
After approximately 45 minutes of waiting we were called by our surnames by a stern looking albeit pleasant gentleman who ushered us to his office. He then swore us in and proceeded to ask my husband his name, birthdate and address. He then asked him what my name and birth date was. Then proceeded to take information from I130 and ask questions including what the status of his former wide was since my husband was previously married and applied for AOS for her successfully years ago. He then asked my husband who helped us fill out our paperwork, where was i born and to name our children.
Afterwards, he questioned me....name,birthdate, place of birth, names and birthdates of our children, address, husband's name. He then asked me if I had visas before my last overstay and I said yes....i had 2 10 year visas and a student's visa. He asked if I had an overstay prior to the one on my current I94. I said not to my knowledge and then explained to him that after graduation I was pregnant and decided to stay here to give birth to my daughter. I was not sure if that was considered on overstay seeing that I had finished my degree so technically the purpose of student's visa was now fulfilled. I did not want to lie and say no so i said I am not sure and explained myself. He then said that everything looks good but he can not approve me because he needs to confirm that I did not have an over stay on a previous visa since I did not have my old passport to show my entires from 1985 which is when my 1st visa was issued. He also stated that it take 1 hour or take 1 week.
We left disappointed but understood the logic. However, 2 hours later i received an update stating that card is being produced and an additional 2 hours later that my case was approved.
In my opinion our IO was thorough, straight forward but in no way menacing or aggressive. It did not feel like an interrogation....was more like I met someone and they wanted to know more about my husband and I.nI am eternally grateful for this experience and truly wish the best for all others seeking immigration benefits with good intentions.

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

I had my AOS interview here today - the office is in the Court House (you can park on the street for $7 for 4hrs, or $9 in a parking lot across the street). The security here were awesome, so friendly and joked around with us.

We checked in with a lady at the front desk who took our appointment letter and asked us to take a seat. We arrived about 30 minutes before and had our interview at our interview time.

The interview was very straightforward. It was a request for additional paperwork proving we were married and a confirmation of my original paperwork, both from my K-1 visa, J-1 in the past and now AOS. It took us a while to go through it and we handed only handed over new documents (joint bank accounts, insurance docs, photos, facebook status updates), all evidence that proved we were married and cohabiting.

The lady did not request anything that was on our appointment letter but make sure to bring copies of EVERYTHING. Have one folder of originals, and one folder of copies. You will need to make sure the interviewer can keep the documents you bring in (photos, cards etc).

We finished up the interview with me (the beneficiary) answering questions regarding my AOS (I-485) form, so confirmation of address, if i'd ever been a prostitute...etc etc haha. And she also wanted to confirm how we met, so she had some notes for the review at a later date (it sounds like somebody else reviews all the information she took).

She gave us a letter stating we should hear within 120 days (hopefully sooner!). And for those in our situation, definitely continue to save documents proving your marriage - you will experience this all over again to remove the conditional greencard.

Best of luck to others! Don't panic, it's a painless process.
