Decided to file N400 when nothing had happened with lifting conditions for over a year, since 3 year marriage rule had passed. I-751 approved during N400 interview. |

Montreal Consulate interview a breeze like everyone has stated. Almost a waste of time, just like the medical. A formality at best. Best part is enjoying Montreal for a few days before heading to Quebec City. To anyone worried about it, unless you have a history issue, just have your docs and there is nothing to be concerned about. Arrived at 7:00 a.m for 7:30 interview and was #6 in line. Out of Consulate by 8:50 a.m. stayed at Travelodge which was a straight easy walk of less than 10 minutes. Rooms are very small but nice hotel with continental breakfast included. If you drive plan to park your car and never use it. Walk everywhere if you can. A lot of construction and very congested streets. Close hotel worth the extra you may have to pay to be close to Consulate. |

Timeline Comments: 2AOS interview was this morning, Nov 13/19, in Detroit at 10:30.  We arrived at 10:15, checked in and after about 5 minutes I had to go to a counter and provide my passport and appointment letter.  Clerk entered some info into computer, took my photo and checked my fingerprints to confirm it was me.  (Appeared that if you arrive too early they won’t check you in at reception- it is not a first come first serve situation but rather based on your appointment time.  They told the gentleman in front of us that he was too early and to sit in the outer waiting room and come back to reception in 15 minutes.). We went to a different waiting area and waited about 45 minutes to be called.  There were a lot of people there for interviews.  NOTE:  don’t take your phone in or turn it off and leave it in your pocket.  Several people had their phones on in the waiting room and were told to turn them off. Â
Let me preface the interview experience by stating our case was very straightforward with no RFE, issues or red flags - about as easy a file to process that they could ever wish for!  Also, it appeared that our case officer may have been in training as there was another case officer in the room who was monitoring the interview and offered some instruction to the interviewing officer during the interview (most of the time she was reviewing someone else’s file while she appeared to listen with 1 ear.) Both women were friendly and very pleasant to deal with.  My husband and I were in the room together the entire time and never separated for questioning.  She basically went through the I-485 page by page confirming all the details.  The longest part of the interview was when she asked all the questions with respect to ties to organizations, do you intend to ...... while in the US, have you ever illicited or engaged in prostitution , etc..  She asked how long we had known each other (didn’t ask how we met, how often we saw each other, how and when we were engaged, or anything else pertaining to our relationship).  Asked when and where we got married (didn’t ask anything about meeting each other’s families, how often we saw them ,etc.).  Basically asked very little personal questions about the relationship.  Didn’t ask for proof of the validity of the marriage, just asked if there was anything we wanted to give her to support our case so I handed her all the paperwork dealing with joint bank accounts, medical benefits, etc., and photos.  At the end she said she would be reviewing the file and quoted the worst case scenario timelines as far as finding out if we were approved.  When my husband said we were hoping I had the green card before Christmas so I could see my family in Canada, she said oh, that shouldn’t be a problem.  So our impression was that she did everything by the book because she was in training (she seemed more on edge than we were) and didn’t want to/or couldn’t provide any other information.   So I will be checking the case status often and will update my timeline once it changes.  All in all, interview was no big deal.  We were in and out in 1.75 hours.  Â
Did you ever received your EAD? Advance parole?
*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.
