August 6, 2009: We were there early of course, but we were suprised to be called right on time! The waiting room is upstairs. As you walk up the stairs, you see everyone looking at you, because you are entering into the middle of a large room with everyone's chairs configured toward the middle. Every so often a door marked "Do not enter" opens and an interviewer calls someone to come in! Our reviewer was very nice and professional. We brought 6 inch deep box full of papers as well as our entire wedding album, other pictures, etc. He asked to see our bank statements, our apartment contract information, other bills we share, and our pictures, as well as our ID. When we offered to find another document, he said no, that's not necessary, and showed us the two 3 to 5 inch files he had on us already! He did ask several questions (how we met, how old my husband is, pretty basic stuff) and then told us he would recommend us for a conditional permanent residence card!  He gave us a letter as initial proof for my husband's college, and promised us he would get everything into the system that day. As we walked out of the office, other staff laughed at the size of our boxes... But we figured they must really grill the people with empty hands! We probably spent 10 minutes in the office. Another letter arrived confirming our green card status about a week later; the actual card arrived in the mail on Monday, August 17 - just 7 business days later!! We are very grateful and relieved to have that over with!!  So, the Seattle office was great, highly recommend! Only improvement would be free coffee. Hey, this is Seattle!!
