There is an ex-mil. USCIS officer there who was stationed in Germany most his life. He was very pleasant and happy he could practice his German. He even made a copy of the vaccination sheet for me which i later stuck into the AOS package.
I only had 2 hours in Denver to catch my connection. Security screening can take 20-30 minutes, just to enter the terminal. I had 10 minutes to spare when i got to the plane. |

It was a pleasant surprise to receive my permanent greencard in the mail... interview-free and one and a half months ahead of the processing time frame. Very happy. |

I had to go to the Charleston office to get fingerprinted (yet again) for lifting the conditions off my greencard. I was in and out of there within 20 minutes. So this far it's been great.
Don't try to bring your cellphone. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
