Review Date : February 13, 2019
Embassy Review : My Fiance had no problems finding this building with ease. He went through security and then was asked if he was a non immigrant visa and since he was they bumped him up the line. He said his waiting wasn't that long at all. The man at the first window took our papers and asked my Fiance how he meet me. My Fiance explained it was on a PS4 game and that made the man smile. He asked what game and my fiance told him and then they had a brief chat about the game. Then he wanted for his number to be called and it didn't take long at all. He was interviewed by a nice enough guy and was asked a few questions. 1.) How did you meet 2.) Has my fiance met my son 3.) What date did my previous marriage end 4.) What my fiance does for a living 5.) If my fiance has seen much of America and if so where has he visited 6) asked him some questions regarding a state tax lean (Thanks ex hubby). That was that. He said we were approved and he should have his visa in hand in a few weeks. CEAC says issued as of Feb 13th
Rating : Very Good


Local US CIS Office Review: Memphis TN
Review Topic: cis_topic
Event Description
Review Date : October 29, 2019
Embassy Review : AOS interview from K1

Our appointment was at 9:45 so for us that means waking up at 4am and leaving the house no later then 5:30. That turned out to be a good idea because we got to the USCIS office early. The appointments before ours had to be rescheduled so we got bumped way up and was being interviewed by 9am and was out of there and back to the car by 9:30. So first tip, try to get there early. If you arrive crazy early thats OK there are so many restaurants and little coffee shops in this area that you will find things to pass the time.

There is parking less then 100 feet away from the USCIS building. We used it for under an hour and it was $4.00. There was ample parking spots in the parking garage and it felt very safe. The building is beautiful but it does not actually say USCIS anywhere on it. It does have an eagle logo on the doors tho. Once inside its a beautifully old but wonderfully preserved building. Take the elevator up to the 7th floor.

You go through something like airport security, pretty much the same type of set up at the consulates. You put your stuff in the trays and they scan it. The ladies running this were fairly nice but stern looking. I suppose thats part of their job but they were clear on what you were meant to do and patiently waited for you to do it. They asked to see government issued ID's and the invitation letter.

Then we went to a desk and produced the invitation letter and our ID's again. A very nice lady then told us to have a seat they would call us soon. We only were seated for about 5- 10 minutes before being called up. A very friendly lady greeted us and took us to an office. She then took my fiances picture and went over his application. She made a few changed and had him sign that he understood changes were made and then she asked us a few questions about how we met and the engagement. She didnt ask anything about the wedding. She asked us for any co-mingling evidence we might have and we produced the lease, car insurance, gym membership, bank account, credit card account, electric bill and water bill. She did not ask for medical insurance and she did not ask to see any of my tax stuff or employment stuff. She then set back in her chair and explained her earlier appointments had cancelled and thats why she was able to get to us so soon and that she hoped her day continued like this. then with a warm big smile she said she was approving us and he would have his green card in the mail in two weeks. Im pretty sure my eyes misted up and he was smiling from ear to ear. We thanked her for her time and we left.

Downtown is having some major road construction. While there was no issue getting into downtown from the bridge getting out and back to I-40 is a lil tricky as the easiest exit is under construction. Google maps redirected us. Took us all around down town but finally came to another one. Looks like this could be going on for some time so just be prepared for that when you are leaving.

All in all the Memphis office was easy to find and every employee we interacted with was very nice and professional.
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
