We drove to the civil surgeon and back to the local USCIS office the same day and ultimately received approval (stamps) that same day. Our interviewer was friendly and professional. | 2013-01-15 | ||

There were about 25 people scheduled for 8, for 9, for 10, & for 11 am. We waited outdoors until 9 am, then Olga went indoors (I had to wait outdoors). Olga did not have bios done until 10:30 am. Bios took about 10 min. AOS Interview was scheduled for 8:15 am in Fairfax, VA office. Because of traffic, we were 30 minutes late. No problem. We went to the second floor and waited about 30 minutes for our interview. It was very straight forward. The officer (male) asked a only few questions about when we met, when & where we got married, where we are living, etc. No trick questions at all. The officer and I actually talked about politics and the military for a while. At the end of the interview, he kind of scared us for a moment because he asked for Olga's work permit and took it. I thought we had messed up. He turned to Olga and said CONGRATULATIONS you are now a permanent resident of the US. He took her passport and stamped it with a temporary residency stamp good for one year. That was it. The whole interview was less than 30 minutes. The officer was great. We recieved the green card in the mail about 10 days later. PLEASE NOTE: I think AOS went rather quickly for us. I think the reason for this was that we had a letter from our US Senator in our file. I wrote to Senator Allen just asking him to follow the process in the event there were any problems. I noticed that the Senator's letter was the first document in our file. I really think it made a difference and would highly recommend it to everyone. | 2007-01-24 | |

K1 | Washington DC | 2005-09-16 | 2006-01-21 | 2006-04-26 | 2006-04-26 | Yes | Yes | Interview at Fairfax, VA (Wash DC area) went fairly smoothly. Arriving at 1020am for our 1045am appointment, was greeted by a lady INS officier at around 1035am. The interview went fairly smoothly as she was very stern and seem to follow a mental script such that she simply asked us to state our legal name, address, how we met. She even asked, "Why did you married him?" I just thought that's such a rehtorical and loaded question. We also had our friends send us a letter since they know my wife and I before and after we got married. So we presented those letters to the INS officier UN-OPENED! Overall, it was a fairly efficient and quick process. A temporary 2-yrs Green Card was received (stamp on passport - expires 1 yr minus 1 day after issued date) at the end of the interview. Throughout the process I presented myself casually and easy going, such that I even asked, "So you guys must be pretty busy"; and she replied that they see 10-12 cases daily! Now the parking lot attendant (back of the office) was another story. Run by two (Thai guys) they hackled us to pay again as we had to turn back around and re-park since we noticed that the stamp on the passport was for one year (we thought it was two). So one of the two guys said, "Well that's a problem isn't it? Because once you go out you have to pay again and park" So I simply said, "There's at least 200 cars in the lot now, who paid $5 to get in. My extra $5 is nothing to the $1000 you all had pocked this morning!" At the end, I made a deal that if I don't come out in 30min I'll give you $5. So when I returned and pull my car out, i told them 7min and 27 sec, how much do I owe you? (Just want to share that and be fore-warned) | 2008-01-30 | ||||
