Local US CIS Office Review: Buffalo NY Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : December 8, 2011 Embassy Review : Arrived for interview 40 minutes early, submitted our letter stating the date and time of the appointment and were told to sit down and wait for our turn. After waiting for only 5 minutes we were called back. The officer was very friendly and took us back to the interview room where we were immediately sworn in. We showed him our passports and sat down. We were asked the following questions: -how and when did you meet? did it turn out well? -did you have a civil ceremony or private ceremony? (civil) -who was at the ceremony? how many people were there? (us and our parents, 6 people) -what did you do after your ceremony to celebrate? -asked what the sponsors job is We were then asked if we brought any additional evidence of our marriage, we showed our joint car/health/bank account/credit card and a photo album of us over the past 4 years. He asked if we enjoyed traveling where one of the photos was taken. He then told us he would approve our case today! Passport was stamped at the office because green card would not arrive before the holidays! The overall experience was very good. Interview took about 10 minutes total. 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
