F1 for 10 years. Met my husband one winter, he proposed in spring and we were married by summer. Couldn't have gotten it more right if I planned it out myself! He is the best thing that has happened to me and I am so grateful for my little family. |

IO was polite, conversational, and asked my USC spouse more questions than me. We were organized so it was a pleasant and smooth experience. Just calm down and be yourself but respectful of the process. |

Overall a great experience!
---December 21, 2020---Our appointment was scheduled for 9:05AM, we arrived 30mins early and went through quick airport style check-in. We then walked upstairs > checked in > got a number and waited. The officer called us in at about 9:30. It was a short interview, he walked through the the application and talked to my husband (USC) 80% more than me.
Questions--
1. How we met? Where?
2. First date.
3. Our last 2 addresses.
4. My 1st child and citizenship of my ex
(did not ask for custody papers though).
5. Why is the child not in the US?
Went through the "YES/NO" on the I-485 and that honestly took the most time. We left at 10:30AM so it actually took a whole hour! IO checked the originals, changed our address to the correct one, scanned our Social Security Cards and took some additional evidence (3 work insurance documents) & 5-10 pictures from me. My spouse was very nervous and mixed up addresses & zipcodes, but the officer did not seem put off by it. Finally, the IO told us how to apply for the i-751 and ushered us out the door. He never actually said the words "You Are Approved!" but we gathered that from telling us about the i751 and giving some filing tips. We were approved in the system the next day and the card arrived roughly 8-10 days after. |

*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.
