| Embassy Review : |
They originally scheduled us for a interview on August 1. However they canceled the interview and after several weeks of waiting rescheduled it to August 18.
The interview was scheduled at 8am. She got there before the opened the doors at 7:30am. She finished everything at 11:30. Lots of waiting.
When they asked her if she could speed English and if she wanted the interview in English she said yes. The lady working Window 5 said that was a good choice as the American interviewers are nicer (Which mirrors what I've read on this site).
Questions Asked:
- How did we meet?
- What did we do the first time we saw each other?
- How long after the first time until we met again?
- How long did I stay the second time?
- How many times have I come?
- How do we talk to each other?
- When did I first discuss marriage?
- When did she accept?
- When did I last visit? |

We arrive about 40 min prior to our scheduled time. We weren't seen until approx 30 min after our scheduled time. They call names from both the front and back of the waiting room, and we almost missed our name being called since we were sitting at the front and the person who called us came in through the back.
The interview went very smoothly. Just some questions about the wedding, all the "no" questions from the I485, and some verification of information on the forms. We were asked to provide a copy of our wedding certificate. I luckily had purchased 2 official copies. I had mailed one in with the AOS paperwork, however it was not in the packet that our interviewer had. I had the second official copy on me (as well as photocopies). She asked for our IDs and copied some information down, as well as copies of my wife's SSN, EAD, and AP documents.
I was then asked to hand over any proof of relationship documents. I handed them over, she asked "Is that all"? I said we had photos too. She asked me to take out 3 or 4 photos that they could add to our file. I gave her 10, and she quickly skimmed through them and then handed them back. She then quickly went through the documents I submitted (Insurance, bank account, credit card) and highlighted where both of our names appeared.
She then said we were approved, handed over a "Welcome" letter, and told us we'd get the green card in the mail within a few weeks. |

*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.
