10 minutes long interview. CO asked only for Police Certificate. Questions asked: My place and date of birth, when we met, dates of divorces and who I was standing next to her. I was very surprised CO did not ask for any originals. |

In and out in less than 15 minutes. Long lines, but tell any CBP officer that you have an immigrant package, they will walk you over the right room bypassing the long line.
I can not say this works all the time, but it worked for my wife.

We showed up at 6:10 AM, there were 4 people ahead of us. At 06:30 they called immigrant applicants only to line # 3 at a security shack where they check passport, 2 passport photos marked in the back with applicant's name and Interview Letter, security check with body scanner the the guard directed us to continue to a large patio covered by a very toll roof, dress for cold windy weather because there is no walls. There are a bunch of ladies dressed in black, wearing blue jackets that will guide different groups of people.
The one for immigrants directed us to sit near windows 31 to 36, verified my wife's name and interview date and gave my wife a ticket number.
10 minutes later my wife was called to window 31, a real nice blond lady asked my wife for the passport, the two passport pictures and the police certificate. She put the pictures inside a small plastic zip lock bag and stapled the bag to the police certificate and send us to another wait area in the same patio between windows 2 and 6. There we waited about 30 minutes until my wife was called to window 5. The CO asked for the current passport, the photos and the police certificate and the medical sealed envelope. I was very surprised he did not ask for any other documents. (We had all the originals and one copy as directed in the NVC website and the packet 4 instructions).
The CO asked my wife, who was I standing next to her, my place and date of birth, dates of our divorces and when we met.
He made a bunch of computers entries and then asked for the previous expired passports and canceled the tourist B2 visa.
Then he said congratulations and welcome to USA, wait few days for an email with instructions to pickup visa package and passport, and handled my wife the old passports, the instructions to pay the immigrant fee and the pamphlet for victims of domestic violence. |

My wife came to USA on a B1/B2 visa to visit me for 3 weeks.
The CBP officer was very polite and nice. He asked my wife for reason of visit, she said to visit her husband. He asked when was she planning to move to USA, she said aftert the approval of CR-1 visa.
No documents were asked for besides her passport.
He welcome her to USA and congratulate her on our recent wedding.
She was prepared with job contracts in Colombia, NOA1 and return ticket, just in case. |

*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.
