Interviewed this morning & approved!
The whole process took about 1.5 hours
Appointment @ 9:45, arrived at 9:35
Lots of people in line outside, a group of people ahead brought backpacks and large bags *do not bring backpacks/large bags* - the security guard was not very happy about this and will not watch your things
I got called to enter the building close to 1000, went through the metal detector, only had to lock up my phone - I was able to bring a binder, reading book, wallet and passport holder
I was told to go up to first floor, and check in @ counter 6
She asked for my passport & 2 passport photos
I went back to sit & wait
Called up at 1015 to give my birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, husband and joint sponsor’s 2020 taxes
- I was asked: is your spouse the sponsor? if this was the first time I’ve applied and my husband has applied?
- my husband did not have a copy of his 2020 taxes, I handed my joint sponsor’s 1040 & 1120-S - the lady asked if I had a W2, I did not
Then I was finger printed and asked to wait
11:10 I was called for my interview
- took an oath that I was telling the truth
- who is the petitioner?
- how did you two meet?
- where does he live?
- what does he do for a living?
- what do you do for a living?
- do you have children?
Then we spent last couple minutes chatting about California and how my husband & I are expecting our first child. He was lovely to chat with.
He said I was approved, how to track my passport and it could take up to 4 weeks due to the holidays, maybe faster but no promises!
Out of the building by 11:15!
Make sure you bundle up! It’s very cold waiting outside.

*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
