Feb. 2, 2016.
Las Vegas office - scheduled for 8:10 am showed up 15m early, waited about 20 min
Got called in by a very nice officer and it lasted literally 15-20 min- asked some basic questions: how did we meet if my husband is from Vegas. Asked about our joint apartment - we already had 2 leases and we told him we lived together before getting married. Asked that it was just 2 of us and the dog.
He asked some formal yes/no questions off the list like military service, communist participation etc.
Asked about my college education "I see you came in on student visa" and I said yes - I graduated and got a job, showed my diploma.
Asked about any trips taken together - we brought a 500 picture album so I quickly located all the trips to Cali, Colorado etc. and he asked about a few family gatherings to name people in the pictures.
Our file was extremely like EXTREMELY organized - accordion file with each section labeled according to the check list (so like "marriage based evidence" and in that section there would be "plastic inserts" (here is me with a confusing description- it's a plastic separator for a binder but it had 2 sides to insert files so we put pay stubs originals in one side and all the copies on the other side - that way there was no hassle, if he asked for something we just pulled out one tab like joint bank statements, other tab would be joint purchases like gym membership, purchase of bed, etc.
Officer took my I-94 out of my passport and said I won't be needing it anymore - he APPROVED us!!!!
Case status updates came as text message about 1 hour later.
We were told Green card would take 4 weeks (big busy city) - UPDATE: GC came 9 days later on Feb. 11th!!!
We went to celebrate at the Sunrise cafe (*this is note to self as its a significant place for us:) |

*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.
