Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

We got downtown a couple hours before our appointment, which was on 20th July 2022 at 12:55pm at the Manhattan Federal Plaza Building.

Clearing security was a walk through with no queue, and staff there were professional but friendly. We arrived at the building 20mins before our appointment.

We went up to the 7th floor where we were guided to the desk, where they asked for appointment notice and passport, asked if we wanted a translator or had a lawyer with us (both answers were no), and a picture and fingerprints were also taken. Once all details were added, we were given our paper back with an “O” number and told to wait near door 2.

After reading all reviews, my spouse and I were expecting a wait time between 1-3hrs, however we were very surprised (and lucky) to be called in just 5mins after our appointment time at 1:00pm.

We went in and were asked for our appointment notice and both of our passports, then fo... read complete review

Make sure you have a face mask! They will not let you enter the building without one.
AOS for marriage - Our appointment was at 1:15pm, so we arrived at 1pm and was denied entry because we didn't have a face mask. Ran across the street and bought two at the deli. By the time we checked in on the 7th floor, it was 1:15pm. They gave us a number and told us to wait for door #2 to call us. There were a lot of people waiting... We didn't get called until past 4pm. I think we were the last ones to get interviewed...
Our officer was a nice man but we had a hard time understanding him with the face mask and accent... He told us there were issues with the new system and that it was so slow. My husband (beneficiary) had a hard time hearing the officer's questions, which was frustrating. And when asked about my age/birth date, my husband was off by a year... The date was correct, but the year was not. I think he got so flustered in the moment...
We submitted ... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

Had a great and smooth experience at at the NY Field Office! My interview was based on AOS (K1 visa -> Marriage -> AOS) and my spouse came with me to the interview, as requested. Here's a detailed experience below:

Appointment was at 9:55am, and we entered the building at 9:40am. Security check was just like TSA check, where you had to remove your shoes, belts, wallet, etc. and put it through the scanner. Then we headed up to the 7th floor and there was no check in line. The person behind the counter took our appointment letter, my photo, fingerprints and ticket. We then waited for 10 mins before getting called by an officer for our interview (so fast...I thought we were gonna be waiting for at least 45 mins).

Our officer was super friendly, direct and kind. She asked for our passports and marriage certificate to start. Asked if I had brought an updated medical exam, which I said no, and that was no problem. Then went through all of the security question... read complete review

Had our AOS marriage interview today. Very smooth process. We had an 8am interview, only a very small line to get inside at that time. By the time we came out around 10:15, the line to enter the building was almost around the block so FYI if you have a mid morning appt!
Security is a breeze, just like the airport. There is a very rude security officer on the 4th floor though- she wasn’t rude to us but was very mean and yelling at a man who clearly hardly spoke any English.
We waited about 1.5-almost 2 hours in the waiting room before being called in by an officer. Officer was very professional but was easy enough to talk to. He didn’t have a scary or intimidating demeanor, it was more like he was on his computer just going through a checklist to see what we had to offer. He only asked my foreign husband three questions-
1. Where does your wife work
2. Have you ever been married before
3. Does your wife have any kids
-The officer ... read complete review
