Nothing to worry about |

We had our interview yesterday and were approved.
Honestly it was grueling. We were there for three hours, one hour wait and two in the interview room. 50 minutes of that was me and the rest going through the paperwork for my four children so that would be exceptional. Be prepared for a long wait beforehand.
Basically, the officer is trained to trick you and spot any lies/omissions etc. He continually did this, misrepresenting information, and pursuing very specific facts or dates here and here. Some of the big and obvious stuff he didn't touch. He barely looked at my photos for instance. Yet made a big deal about EXACTLY which dates I came and went on one of my visits here and finding the registration date of my birth; my previous divorce certificate ( which they already had) etc. I was super organized with my paperwork and was thankful for this, even though some of it wasnt touched. Things that were asked for they already had, but just be prepared to provide what is asked for .
Â
He couldn't find my son's medical form the consulate for most of the interview so insisted he couldn't be approved and we would have to re do everything. At the - very - last - gasp he found it. So that was a huge relief.
We also explained he has travel booked next week and though we have advance parole it becomes invalid so we asked about the possibility of an i551 stamp. That was simply not going to happen, nor was he interested in my son's situation. Just told us to wait to travel.
Once or twice he flashed real kindness and towards the end as he worked through my childrens' files he told us a long story of meeting ghosts in Kansas! But if we tried to be friendly at other times it was met very sternly. It will vary but it was clear to me that this was all training. He would jump from topic to topic rapidly to try to catch any pretence out and was very harsh with me several times. None of it was "personal" just set up to root out fraau and have everything documented
BUT he approved us then and there. And out status updated online within an hour or two |

*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
