Any Phoenix or Arizona AOS Filers ? 🤔

No wonder why I got my interview scheduled so fast 😅 I really wasn’t expecting anything before the end of the year. 

You're definitely going to bring down the average wait time for Phoenix! Our interview will be around 540 days from submission of our 485.

It's so bizarre that someone with a NOA1 a couple weeks later than ours got their AOS 4 months later, while we're at 19 months, and you'll likely be around 7.5 (225 days +/-.)

 

FWIW, everyone at the Phoenix office has been very nice to us whenever we've been there.

The way they proceed for scheduling interviews will be forever a mystery 🤔

is there anyone who filed recently from Arizona? 

 

I just sent my packet in May 30th and still waiting for the first notification.

Why not get involved in a thread with AOS activity more similar to your own, like the May 2019 AOS Filer thread?  You would probably be in contact with other folks that submitted their AOS packets in the same month as yourself.

 

Regarding your AOS package, did you receive confirmation that USCIS received your package from your mail/delivery service? Did you enclose a Form G-1125 with your AOS package, so that you would receive email notification from USCIS of receipt of your package. Have they tendered your check for payment? Relax, it has been just a little over a week since you mailed your package.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Just got back from our AOS interview (we're a K1 couple) in Phoenix.  My spouse was approved on the spot. We were at day #530 since AOS filing, and the officer confirmed our case for whatever reason was about two months older than what they're processing.

 

As they were before, everyone at the Phoenix USCIS office was very nice and professional from initial security to reception to the case officer.

 

The interviewing officer made a point of saying he liked to keep the interview light, and it was pretty clear most of the judgement was just made on how we interacted as a couple. The officer was pretty interesting himself, if I understood him correctly he's worked multiple jobs in USCIS and he transferred in after working USCIS marriage fraud investigations.

 

Other than the standard questions, one of us was asked what the other's birthday was, and the other was asked when our anniversary was -- that was it! He looked at our pictures and selected three for his file.

 

He did ask us for our medical which totally freaked us out and then he realized we were K1 visa and he said to not worry.

 

Total interview time was about 20-30 minutes. They called for us about 15 minutes after our scheduled appointment.

 

It's been a long wait -- from the day we decided to get married to today has been over 900 days -- but we're happy and glad to be more or less at the end of the process.

Do you remember who the officer was? I interacted with one of them when I did my biometrics a few weeks ago. The one that I talked to was Asian looking and his office was the closest to the front desk.

Biometrics is close to the reception desk and security. The interviews happen in offices behind the doors at the very back of the information area that's past the reception.

 

I don't remember his full name. I know his last name started with an H, he was caucasian with a large build. Happened so fast and we were so stressed we didn't really remember every detail.

Interesting. I did not know that. The front desk lady in the biometrics area told me that this guy was one of the IO that does interviews. Maybe he was assigned to biometrics that day.

No worries! I bet that all becomes just a blur when is all done.

Hey just curious how far away was the interview from the date you got the letter ? 

They sent my letter for the interview to my mother in laws house so I’d have to drive there to pick it up. But I can’t go before this week end and I got my notification that they scheduled me an interview and sent a letter a week ago 

[veeandzack 48]

So I just got my letter in hand and my interview is in Tucson 🤔 anyone from Phoenix that had to travel all the way there for their interview ?
