| Embassy Review : |
So I had my interview today in the morning. It was at 8:00AM but for some reason I thought it was at 8:30AM. Anyway I arrived around 7:55AM but they guy at the receptionist counter couldn’t find my name on his list. Sigh... eventually, he found my name on a list in a separate pile and he told me to wait so that he can find my interviewing officer. As we were waiting for him find my interviewing officer, I heard my name over the intercom. So I went to the door where I heard my name but my interview officer had left. She eventually came back and called us in.
She was really nice, she asked what happened the first time she called for us. I explained what happened and she just laughed and said its okay. She swore us in and asked us of our driver’s license and passports. I told her I don’t have one since Michigan wouldn't give me one because my I94 has expired. Then she said - shame on you. She then laughed and said - I am kidding, I understand.
She then asked the following questions
- how did you meet?
- how did we maintain the relationship when we were apart
- do you have anything to prove that you are sharing things together. She kept the evidence I brought. – Bank statements and apartment lease.
- I am going to ask you some personal questions - she then went through all the question on the application form (she wasn’t reading it from the application and so we looked surprised that she knows all the questions. When she realized that we were looking at her in surprise – she said yes I know all those questions by heart!).
And then asked me my name and pointed out that my middle is spelled wrong on my application form. I was like no way!!! But she was right! I had never noticed that my middle name has been spelled wrongly on my birth cert!! She then told me to get it fixed by getting a name change. I looked reluctant and so she told me to get a new birth certificate with the right name since it seems the wrong name is on the birth cert. She said I should do it asap since it can affect my future USCIS applications.
She then looked through our pictures and asked us just one question about the pictures. She then told us that she just needs to do one more check and that we should know by the end of the day. And then she told us we would have to take off the condition on the card 3 months before it expires. She gave us document explaining it.
I then asked her if I could leave the country and return with my advance parole..She said yes but I can also make an infopass to get green card stamp in my passport should the green card not arrive before my tripe. She further explained that they say it takes about 3 weeks to get the card in the mail, but it actually takes about 5 days.
She thanked us and said bye.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
