Took almost 2 months after my interview to get the green card. I had passed name check, so no idea what the delay was, but glad to have it! |

| Embassy Review : |
Turned up around 30 mins before the interview (after staying the night in Philly). Through security, up the lift and into a bland waiting room. There were about 8 other people there. About 10 mins after my appointment time, the wife and I were called into the interview. We were interviewed by a rather stern (or professional, depending on how you look at it). She got us to swear to tell the truth, and told us to sit down. Passports handed over, and the questioning began:
To me:
What are your in laws names?
Have you ever met them?
When was the last time you visited them?
How did you find where you currently live?
How much do you weigh?
What colour are your eyes? (twice!)
To my wife:
Why don't you use his surname?
Why did you move to PA?
Did your husband live in the house before you?
Then the "no" questions.
Then she asked for evidence of joint living. I gave: Bank statement, insurance, airline tickets to LA from August, joint health insurance. She didn't look at any of it.
Didn't ask for anything else, photos etc.
"OK, I'm approving your case. You will get your Green Card in about 2 weeks".
All over in 15 minutes!
ADDENDUM: 7 weeks after the interview and I just got the "Your card has been ordered" email, so much for 2 weeks! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
