Local US CIS Office Review: Buffalo NY Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : October 25, 2016 Embassy Review : [quote name="tulirya" post="8354871" timestamp="1477242213"] [font='times new roman'][color=#800080]Hi y'all, [/color][/font] [font='times new roman'][color=#800080]I have been reading this forum since day one of my AOS journey. Now it is time to contribute and share my experience as well, hope that this will help to someone who is preparing docs or simply feels nervous before Interview.[/color][/font]   I was scheduled for an interview on October 19th 2016, at Buffalo office. Appointment was at 9.45, we went there around 9.15 just to be on a safe side. We hired an attorney because our case was a little bit different from others, I didn't come on K visa and were adjusting my status from J1 ( also visa overstay). Checked in and in 5 minutes the IO called my name, we all stand up and followed her to a small room. She pointed our seats, that is me first then my husband and then on the back seat our attorney. IO was smiling and nice but at the same time very sharp and professional. My husband further noted that she was very good at interviewing. IO told us to take oaths. Then she started with my husband to go over I-130 petition. Asked his and my name, his and my address, place and date of birth, parents names and was he married before and what he and I do, our occupations.   Then he turned to me and explained that she will go over I-485 with me very quickly and then she would ask more specific questions from us. So she went ahead asking the same questions she asked from my husband, following Yes/ No questions from the I-485. The only extra that has been asked from me is when did I enter US, at which airport I arrived and were I inspected by ICE. Were you came as J1 and who was your employer? After I answered she followed with another question, where did you work? Which State? That was all.   Lastly IO started to ask how did we meet? Who introduced us? Where did we date? Who proposed? After she got all the answers, she asked to see pictures of our baby girl.    That was the end of the interview. She said it is likely to be approved but before she needs to make some background checks. Further she explained how we can apply for Removal of Conditions after 2 years. We said thanks and our good byes and left. Attorney told us that nowadays they don't tell explicitly that they approved or denied your case. After 2 hours my status online changed to[color=#ffff00] [/color][color=#ff0000]Card is being produced[/color], then later in the evening my I-130 and I-485 changed to [color=#ff0000]Case is approved[/color]. On October 22 my case updated to [color=#ff0000]Card is mailed[/color].   For my interview We took all our original documents, medical exam papers, all the recent bills and 401K, Insurance cards, Credit cards and HSA account cards. She never asked me for anything just took some recent bills to attach to my case. But it is better to be prepared and get all the copies along with original documents. Also make sure to get a lot of pictures as IO might want to see or sometimes even keep them.     Best of luck to everyone, hope you will get your Green Cards soon!   p.s. If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me  :idea:[/quote] Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
