Rating:  | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
Our appointment was at 10am today. We arrived at 9:30. The guard at the building door took my appointment letter and sent us to a rickity trailer/portable building to wait for our names to be called. Inside the trailers there were rows of seats and a scrolling LED sign on the front wall where they played Citizenship Test Q&A's. This was kind of fun and made waiting easy. There were already people in there, but after about 15 minutes our names were called over a loud speaker.
We went back to the main building where the guard let us in, did the basic security check and sent us down a corridor to a waiting area. The waiting area was full! There was not a single seat empty. So we thought we were going to have to wait for a long time. But somehow, after only 5 minutes, we were called up ahead of all other people (I'm not sure why, but I didn't argue).
The immigration officer led us to an office through a set of doors, we were sworn in and were seated.
The interview was conducted in a very efficient, and professional manner. We were asked questions, and we answered most of them with "yes." and "no." unless more information was asked of us. We brought an 8Lb stack of papers, but were only asked for our photographs, marriage certificate, passports, and my birth certificate. He found our answers satisfactory and stamped my passport with the I-155 stamp!! Then told us that we would have to petition for the permanent green card in 18 months, and congratulated us. The interview took 10 minutes.
I am very happy with the speed and efficiency of this office and with the results!
