Local US CIS Office Review: Seattle WA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : March 12, 2009 Embassy Review : Had interview on Feb 24, 2009 We arrived 45 minutes early lady called us We went to office took oath asked how we met and what are her plans in U.S. (work or school or stay home). Asked for proof of Marriage we gave just joint bank statement and insurance papers (I think lease agreement would be best or home owners statement) Then we were done 10 minutes max. She would not tell us her decision said we would get decision in 3 weeks but only took 2. interviewer was all business but it was fast. Harassment Level : Good

*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
