A bit shocked. We received notice about 45 days ago that our biometrics from last time would be reused - so we would not need to appear for a biometrics appointment. Today, we received my wife’s NOA stating that conditions were lifted - without even an interview! I guess we did a good job documenting the validity of our marriage. Basically 7 months between when we filed our I-751 and today. Now we wait for her shiny new 10-year green card to arrive. Thanks, USCIS! |

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at the USCIS office in downtown San Diego about 20 minutes before our scheduled interview time. The waiting room was already packed with about 50 people and it seems that we were all scheduled for the same morning session. Since we arrived later than the others, we were called in for our interview nearly last, when the room was almost empty. The point here is, "If you want to be interviewed first, arrive earliest".
I'm not sure if it was by luck or by design, but our interviewer spoke Russian as well as English - My wife's English is good, but it put her very much at ease when the interviewer offered to speak with her in Russian. Very cool. Our interview lasted about 50 minutes total and felt very friendly and almost informal.
We were asked basic questions about how we met and about our current living situation - but those questions were intermixed with the process of verifying our documents (marriage, divorce, birth certificates, passports and visas). It really didn't feel like an inquisition - much more like a friendly conversation - but each time we gave answers, our interviewer wrote many notes in our files.
We came VERY prepared and VERY organized. We had separate folders for all our original documents so we could show them and then get them back... and a separate folder for photocopies that we intended to give to the interviewer. We had heavily notated all of our documents and evidence with little post-it flags to describe each thing. My wife had painstakingly gone through each supporting evidence photo and written on the back the date and time and names (and relationships) of each person in the photos.
All of the "additional supporting documents" like joint lease agreement, joint bank account, letters from family, photos, etc were all handed over in one big stack at the very end of the interview.
Our interviewer was careful not to promise that we were approved... but she said that everything looked good in our file and that we'd provided "more than enough" supporting documents to prove the validity of our marriage. She said that they'd need to go through the application completely and look over all our supporting stuff one last time - and if there was no RFE, we could expect to receive her green card within 14 days.
It was a little disheartening not to get a definitive approval there on the spot - but I don't think it was because we lacked a strong case. It seemed more procedural than anything about our specific case. At any rate, it was a very easy and positive experience and our interviewer wished us happiness in our marriage as we were leaving. |

*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.
