I just thought I should update you all that the Honolulu Field Office doesn't necessarily complete AOS interviews in under 20 minutes. It isn't always a cakewalk. Today, I had my AOS marriage based interview and the experience was a little different from the previous reviews (below) for the Honolulu Field Office.
My husband and I got there about 15 minutes early. We checked in, sat and waited for our appointment but it turned out that the office was backed up for the day.
Our officer was very professional and serious. We took an oath. Then straight up, she asked for all supporting documentation proving co-mingling of assets (joint bank account, joint credit cards, joint home ownership and / or joint rental agreement, health insurance, utility bill). This was followed by her explaining to us conditional permanent residence. After that, she proceeded to ask us detailed questions about how we met, which month and year we met, when we established an exclusive relationship; and who proposed / when he proposed. Next, she asked us about our common interests. Finally, she selected a few photographs of our wedding, relationship and family members to add to the file. She asked us to write down the year the photographs were taken and the names of the individuals in the photographs.
This all took about an hour. When she asked me if I had any questions, I just politely asked if my application would be approved. It was only then that she smiled and laughed explaining that she couldn't tell me that there and then. The only clue she gave us was that I should check the USCIS website for status updates and our mailbox for up to 120 days before writing or calling USCIS. Up to 120 days... ugh. We thanked her and left feeling a little uncertain and deflated.
About an hour later and after a Longboard beer and a cupcake, I just checked USCIS.gov for a status update and there it was... "My New Card is Being Produced". Yahoo!javascript:emoticon(' ')
The Honolulu CIS Office is excellent!
