Arrived 10am for 10:45 interview. Went through security, checked in, and waited with maybe 3 individuals/couples before us. Got called after a short wait, maybe around 10:35. Followed officer to office, stood to take an oath, sat down. First asked to submit I-693 medical forms. Officer then directed questions to my USC wife, confirming many of the personal details on her portion of the forms. When my wife disclosed that she had changed her job, I quickly found the employer letter and gave it to the officer. Next I was asked many of the questions from my part of the form: personal details and yes/no questions. The officer asked where and when we first met, when we started dating. When the officer asked me if I have any children, I gestured towards my wife and said we have one on the way. The officer congratulated us while I produced a letter from the OBGYN confirming the pregnancy, which the officer kept. At the end, the officer said things looked good and they should be able to approve the application in the next couple days. I asked if they would stamp my passport with the I-551 and stated my reason which is admittedly not very urgent. The officer assured us that it takes only a couple weeks for the green card to arrive and recommended that we just wait it out. We left the USCIS building around 10:45. Got email update from the DHS status site about card being in production within half an hour. Got email update about I-130 and I-485 approvals two days later. |

| Embassy Review : |
Parked in one of the metered spots on-street. Waited outside building till 15 mins before appt time, but at security no one asked me what time my appt was so could've gone in anytime. Waiting room was spacious and sparsely occupied for my Friday 10:25am. There was no check-in or anything, and my name was called promptly at the scheduled time. After swearing in, we quickly went through 6 US history questions, then I was asked to read a sentence from the tablet and write another one on it. After that it was just going through the application confirming/updating as needed. Finally the officer printed out a piece of paper with the summary, recommending approval and asking me to wait for notification about the ceremony. |

*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.
