Local US CIS Office Review: New York City NY Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : February 17, 2012 Embassy Review : The interview was in Garden City (now relocated to Long Island City). It was the easiest interview I ever had. The interview was early in the morning, and there were very few people when we got there. We sat down in the waiting room for about 15 mins before our names were called. We then headed upstairs to a secondary waiting room and waited there for another 10 mins. A nice Eastern European sounding lady greeted us soon after. We brought a thick folder full of further evidence of our relationship. She didn't ask for any of that. We made some small conversation about how the office will be moving closer to the city, where we live and what we do, then asked the standard I-485 questions. She then said that she can't approve the case until my employment based file is forwarded to her, but that TSC will not do so until I withdraw the filing first. We said ok, and thanked her for her help. I sent a letter to TSC the following day, it took them about 2.5 months to withdraw the case and forward it to the local office. About two weeks after that I was approved. Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
