| Embassy Review : |
We got to the office 15 minutes early, and sat down in the waiting room. We ended up waiting for almost 2 hours for our interview...I figured it was the usual thing for government appointments, so I didn't mind too much. The person conducting the interview was very professional. We swore our oath, and then he went through the file. We had hired an attorney to file our paperwork for us, so there were very few questions asked. He just wanted to make sure I knew my date of birth, parent's names, city of birth, current address etc. He asked us for our supporting evidence, and we presented him with a copy of our lease, bank account, and joint health insurance.
He asked us if we had any children together, and when was the last time I entered the United States. I told him the date, and he asked other times I had entered, to which I told him all the dates I had entered in 2005.
He asked for my husbands 2005 tax return and 3 months of pay stubs preceeding our interview date (June 6) as they were not included in the original petition filed on February 26, 2006.
He told us then that my petition was being approved, but because we had not been married for 2 years yet, it was conditional, and that part would be removed in 2008, at which time I would then receive a ten year green card.
Until 2008 I will have a 2 year green card. It just means one more form to fill out in a couple of years to have the temporary status removed. He said that it was to weed out those people who commit marriage fraud by divorcing soon after the green card is issued. He wasn't accusing us he said, (which I believed) but, that it was a precaution on the government's part.
He did not ask us for any other documents or pictures, letters, etc...
We thanked him, signed the paperwork and left the office.
All in all, a short and painless procedure that I truly believe has been overblown by alot of paranoia at times about the whole process.   |

*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.
