SF USCIS Office Review for I-485 AOS

[Prisonmate 93]

This is review of wife's AOS visit at the San Francisco office for any members in the Bay Area. Our appointment was for 2:00PM and the guards will not let you in no earlier than 1:45PM. The Security Guards will make ask you if you have any weapons like nail clippers or tweezers. Also if you have any symptoms of Covid or exposed to anyone with Covid.

 

The next process is to take off your shoes, watches, empty your pockets, take off your coat and go through the metal detector.

 

You will then proceed to the 2nd floor to check in. Don't expect the Security Guards to be professional or polite. They do this everyday and you're just another person that is stopping them from socializing with the other Security Guards.

 

After checking in on the second floor, the clerk will tell you what section to sit it, A or B or C.  Our appointment was for 2:00PM and we sat down at 1:50PM. Took ten minutes for the security checks and make our way to the 2nd floor.

 

The Immigration Officer(I.O.) came out and called out names at 2:01PM. The I.O. lead us to his office and sat us down. He was very professional and cordial. After swearing us in to tell the truth, he went overt the I-485 form with my wife. Then he asked how we met and when was the first time we met face to face. The only other question was how we decided to get marry, was it a formal engagement or series of conversion that lead to the marriage.

 

He also asked to see our original marriage certificate, her and my birth certificates.

 

The last part was if we have other documents we like to present to show the validity of the marriage. I presented an update of my affidavit of support and proof of marriage documents.

 

We were given a letter stating we completed the interview process. Now we just have to wait for the results.

 

The interview was done in 22 minutes. The I.O. escorted us out to the exit door to the waiting area.

 

It was a simple process and if any members in the Bay Area have questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

 

It took 15 months to get the interview after mailing the I-485. Others may be faster or longer to get their interview appointment. Not every case is the same.

I forgot to mention the Immigration officer asked us for proof of our identity, we presented out passport and State Issued I.D. cards.  This was before he started asking my wife to confirm the answers she stated in form I-485.

Did you happen to mention your VJ user name?

No, I didn't. LOL But this is the Federal Government. Same security guidelines as the Airports.
