Local US CIS Office Review: San Antonio TX
Review Topic: cis_topic
Event Description
Review Date : August 6, 2018
Embassy Review : So my status online never updated from "We're scheduling your interview" for months, yet I received the notice for interview in the mail early July 2018. Status remained the same.. scheduling interview. Never changed. Even in the new website.

So I went to the interview with my husband last Aug. 1. We drove all the way from Round Rock, TX to San Antonio. My interview was 10:30am, we arrived at 10am. We went through inspection, got registered, and was given a number. The receptionist was very friendly. The interviewing officer called us right away even before the scheduled time of interview.

We were sworn in. The officer asked us for originals to inspect: birth certificates, passport, IDs, marriage certificate. Did not ask for original DS-3025 at the interview though I have it with me, I only sent a copy of that in the AOS packet. I didn't do the civil surgeon at all. My medical was done at my home country for K1, May 2017. I didn't do another medical, I risked it. It was not expired anyway when I submitted the AOS application last year Sept. The officer didn't talk about the medical at all during the interview.

She asked for wedding photographs. I submitted a total of 5 pictures: 2 wedding, 1 with my fam overseas, 1 with his fam in a different state and 1 of us in vacation somewhere. She asked for proof of us being together. I gave her copy of lease, insurance, 2 joint bank statements, 1 credit card, 1 phone bill. She went through it all, but said she has enough and returned the credit card and phone bill.

We brought with us an updated affidavit of support form, the latest version of the form, to show most recent tax returns of 2017, then 2016 & 2015, W2s, paystubs and letter of employment because my husband changed jobs end of last year and 2017 tax return has my name in there; so she thanked us for doing that and took all of it. She asked my husband the questions in the affidavit of support form. Then she asked me questions from the AOS form like, from my name down to "Have you ever been jailed..." kinda questions. Also asked my job in the Philippines, history of travel, how we met, and my new job here. Told me she's approving my application and the card will be mailed in 2-4weeks. It all happened in a little over 30min, we were out of the office before 11am.

The day after my interview, Aug. 2, my status online finally changed to "We have approved your application.." It was only then when it finally showed the actual status. 
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.

** Not all cases are transfered
