My husband and I went in for my adjustment of status interview.
We parked around the corner from the building, no problem.
Walked in, went through security (NO cellphones!) And found the room easily upstairs. There were a few other couples in the waiting room... It was very quiet!
Eventually an Eastern European lady called our name, and guided us to her office. She was very polite and professional.
We took an oath saying we would tell the truth. She prepared some paperwork while we waited.
She asked us some basic questions like each others' full names, where we were both born, birthdays & each others' parents names.
She asked us to talk about how we met, our wedding & our plans for the future.
She looked through my folder of evidence and took copies of my utility bills / insurance papers etc, made copies of wedding photos.
And that was it!
I appreciated that she treated us with dignity & respect and ... read complete review

My appointment to adjust my status from a K-1 visa was at 1:30. My husband and I found a good parking spot on the Westfield mall nearby, and we walked for about 5 min to arrive to the Federal building where the Sacramento USCIS office is.
Thanks to the reviews on VJ, you know we couldn't enter with our cell phones so we let them in the car. Unfortunately though, we had no idea how long long each step took (no clock and no watch!). I would say we arrived at 1:15 in the waiting room. I slipped my Interview notice at the check-in window as instructed (their blinds are closed, but I noticed someone took my notice after a minute).
We waited for about 30 min before an Immigration Officer called our names. Right after arriving to his office, we both took the oath and then sat. He asked me basic questions in order to review my AOS application (asked for my name, DOB, address...). While flipping each page of our application, he asked us how did we met. I let my husband answered as... read complete review

we arrived just in time. the building is near the cathedral in sacramento. we parked on a public parking about a block in front of the building. upon entering, you need to show valid ID's. mine was the ead (no state id/driver's license yet)my husband uses his driver's license. went through x-ray and for the second floor. i saw an african-woman with an id just got off from the elevator. i asked her if she works there. and she said, yes. i asked her if where can we find the room 2-220. she said...i'll show you. and i said, isn't it a bother? and she said smiling, it's not a bother at all. some could get lost in the building. she's really nice. she went back with us inside the elevator and showed us the way in the second floor.
i would have went directly to the waiting room but my husband wanted to go to the rest room first. so, i went to the women's and he went to the men's. when i came out, my husband was waiting for me and told me, my name had been called already. and he... read complete review

This site has been very helpful to me. I wanted to be sure to write up my own experience to help anyone else going through this stressful period.
My last entry was on a tourist visa in 2004 from the UK. I have been out of status since 2005. However I have lived here since the age of 4, when my parents moved our family here on an E-2 visa. I met my now husband in July 2010 through friends and we got married in Feb 2012. We sent our paperwork (I-485, I-131, I-864, G-325) in the last week of April and had our interview yesterday July 16th. We are both in our mid-20s and of different races, I am Indian and he is Filipino and White.
We prepared insanely for this interview. I had a large stack of paperwork prepared to show proof of our bonafide marriage. Here is a partial list:
3 months of checking account statements
3 months of joint credit card statements (to show activity on card)
Paystubs from both husband and joint-sponser... read complete review

Maybe I should have somehow already known this, but you can't bring your cell phone in the building (I think this is for all federal buildings). And here they will not hold it for you. Annoying, because on the (AOS) appointment notice there is a list of about twenty things you must bring with you....how difficult would it be to add a line about not bringing cell phones? I'm really good about following directions if they are made available to me. When I mentioned it, our officer was like, "Oh, yeah, that happens sometimes. People have to run back to their cars and they're worried about being late." If it happens enough that the officers are so casual about it, it's often enough it should be on the appointment notice. Arrgh. And not everyone will be able to simply run back to the car, some people take buses, etc.
But everything was okay in the end, since we were approved!
