It all began on a hectic Thursday afternoon. I had a final exam for my mircobiology class in college at 8am, and then quickly rushed home to gather my prepared materials (and of course my wife) and we were off to Omaha! It is about a 2 hour drive from Norfolk, NE. We arrived 15 minutes early and were greeted by the extremely kind security guards. These same guards were there when we went for Biometrics, and still had the same great attitudes and smiles about their faces. One guard in particular had a tremendous interest for St. Petersburg, Russia (my wife's home city). He looked through my big red English-Russian dictionary in amazement and jokingly questioned the spelling of a large Russian word, LOL.
Our appointment was scheduled for Thursday, May 3, 2007 at 1:30pm. We were greeted by an immigration officer at about 1:40pm and taken through the doors and back to his office. I attempted to make small talk immediately, as to lighten the atmosphere a little even as we walked with the man to his office. He seemed to be very professional at first glance and not necessarily in the mood for anything besides his normal work routine. How wrong was I? The guy was absolutely amazing and small talk improved the whole ordeal. He seemed to be very interested in what I had to say and he became very easy to speak with after he realized we weren't just another bunch of shy individuals. He was very impressed with my knowledge of the immigration process and that I knew all the forms and even the approval stamp "I-551" by heart (thanks to VisaJourney  ). The officer really seemed to enjoy our company and appeared happy to talk about something other than the normal routine, I guess we just struck his good side. He even shared some marriage fraud stories with me, which were quite interesting to say the least. He was a very understanding gentleman and approved my wife with no trouble. We did have more than we needed though for required documents and evidence, which is always helpful.
I am absolutely impressed with the CIS office in Omaha, NE. Everyone was in a great mood both times we went, from the security guards to the interviewing officers and everyone in between. WAY TO GO CIS IN OMAHA, NE!!! KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!!!
