We went through security and then to the waiting room for USCIS. The receptionist looked at our appointment letter to check us in. We waited about 35 more minutes until the officer came out and called my husband. I freaked out because they separated us, which is not something I had heard about happening before in our office. The officer gave me a paper to fill out and took my husband for about 20 minutes alone. I wrote my name, date of birth, social security number, how I met my husband, when we got engaged, who was at our wedding, his siblings names, my parents’ names, my job, if we have kids, and I had any other marriages. They asked him the same questions and then compared the answers. The officer had me join them at the end. He asked me more questions, like some of the same ones from the paper, and also how many times I went to Brazil, how many times my husband visited the USA before moving here, where my husband was born, and where he used to live before moving here. As far as the documents collected: The officer took our joint tax return, any proof that we lived together (lease, photocopies of our photo IDs with the same address, bank statement). He DID NOT Take anything about our health insurance, our joint credit card, our joint cell phones, or anything related to our trips together since my husband arrived here. He DID also ask for photos. I had printed 14 photos and also offered to show him photo albums. He did not want to look at the photo albums or keep a copy of our holiday card, but he kept the photos I printed and asked my husband to say who the other people in the photos were. He asked about our gross household income to verify we met the requirements. He asked about my husband’s job, but did not take any documents about verifying either of our employment. The officer said he did not have our medical. My husband had done the medical in Brazil 3 months before we applied for his AOS, so I Knew his medical was still valid but the officer was confused. He made a copy of our original vaccine worksheet from Rio de Janeiro and said he would check with someone else about it. He said we were “approvable†and he just needed to finish the background check and confirm about the medical. I started off extremely nervous about being separated, but in the end I could see our officer was just very very thorough. Fortunately, on hour after we left, the case already changed to approved on the ap!!! I am so relieved and happy for my husband (and both of us!) | 2023-09-13 | ||||

We attended rescheduled AOS interview on 10/16/2020 @ 8:40 AM. We arrived at the USCIS building on Prosperity Avenue for the interview in Fairfax, Virginia (Washington, DC office), 20 minutes early. By the time we walked across the street to wait in line and pass through security, it was already past our interview time. When we checked in on the second floor, we waited maybe 10 more minutes before the USCIS officer called our name. It was approximately 9:10 AM when the USCIS officer swore us in. The Officer dialed up our Spanish interpreter for my wife and step-daughter. The USCIS officer was very pleasant and very professional. The interview went very well and lasted about 25 minutes. Most of the questions asked where for my wife, with the standard questions coming from the I-485. The USCIS officer asked my wife my birthday, and she almost got it wrong, but self corrected and the officer appeared to smile underneath her mask. My wife was a little nervous. The officer asked if we had any updates to the I-485 and I provided the changes associated with the birth of our son, born 02/14/2020. The officer said, "Oh" and appeared to smile again underneath her mask. The Officer asked me, the husband how Maribel and I met, and when I told her that we met 14 years ago, she said "Wow!" The officer then ask if we had anything else to give her, and I said no, but then she changed the question to specifically ask for joint utility bills, bank statements, credit card statements, etc., with both my wife and my name. I then gave her a binder (2-1/2" thick) of additional evidence. We also provided the sealed medical envelops (I-693) for my wife and step-daughter. We also provided original documents/copies of birth certificates, pass ports, and marriage certificates. The Officer then said, that she's seen all that she needed to see and proceeded to hand my wife and step-daughter "Notice of Interview Results," stating that their case was under review. The Officer then proceeded to tell us that she will make a decision in two weeks. The interview went very well and lasted about 25 minutes. Although the officer did not tell us that we were approved after the interview, I sensed that we would be approved based upon all the new evidence provided, and a slight head nod from the Officer. My wife and I agree that our AOS experience was much more pleasant in comparison to the U.S. Consulate interview. | 2025-12-26 | ||
