Review Topic: Naturalization

319(b) Naturalization Interview:

Background: On January 10th, 2008, I received orders for reassignment to Italy. Under Section 319(b) of INA my wife could apply for expedited naturalization since I am a US Federal Employee on assignment orders overseas. I quickly gathered all of the required documentation including having my director sign a DD Form 1278 and submitting that with her application packet to Vermont Service Center. We submitted the packet on January 14th, it was received on January 18th, and we received our first notice on January 27th 2008.

On February 27th, my wife received an email from Agent Bridges @ in the 319(b) section of the Washington, DC USCIS Field office requesting to select an interview date of March 14, 21, or 28. She selected the 14th. She replied to the email. Two hours later she received a PDF I-797c telling her to report to USCIS Office in Fairfax, VA @ 8:00 am on March 14th.

Fast forward to March 14th, 2008. ... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

We arrived ten minutes early and presented our interview notice. Five minutes after our scheduled time my name was called in and we were greeted by a nice IO lady, she swore us in and asked for our ID's.

We had a little detour when she openly asked us when we first met. I answered March 05 and my wife 06... oops! My bad, she was correct. I quickly learned to answer only when she was looking directly at me :-)... Suspecting funny stuff, she started firing random general chronological questions about our relationship... luckily we got them all right and were back on track. Phew!

She then proceeded to ask me the "have you ever..." type of questions from the I-485 form and then she asked for any evidence of marriage documents. No problem there I had a stack of stuff... She ended up keeping our bank statement, phone bills, house purchase agreement and our last tax return and also asked for my wife’s last pay stub. While I was fetching docs she flipped... read complete review

Review Topic: Other Experience

On November 1, 2006, I scheduled an online appointment to meet with the Washington DC CIS office on Prosperity Avenue. (Note: they don't allow you to stand in line unless it's 15 minutes from your scheduled appt. time). The waiting period once inside was about 20 minutes. The front counter personnel were very pleasant. The Immigration Officer printed out current status from the website (which I already had but appreciated the effort). He then explained once the I-129F is approved, the I-130 can be dropped and instructed to return to the CIS office to apply for I-485 AOS / EAD / SS #. He walked me to the front door and showed me where the forms are for applying for the I-485. Very courteous and helpful.

Review Topic: General Review

This review is for the Application Support Center in Alexandria Virginia...

Went there a month before my biometrics appointment was due to see if I could get a walk in...the supervisor wasn't happy about it, but I pleaded my case and acted like I was a naive stupid foreigner (always a good trick) and she let me go ahead.

One form and 5 minutes later I was having my fingerprints taken by a very nice chap who was polite and thought it was really funny that I was so interested in the neat biometrics machine.
His supervisor (who had to sign off on the prints and info) was also very polite. I was out of there in 15 minutes. It wasn't at all busy, it was a nice calm environment and everyone was very helpful.

It may be a little different at busy times, but I can say on Tuesday mornings when they have just opened it is a decent place to go.
You can Metro to Huntingdon and then take a bus which will drop you off right outside the bui... read complete review
