First of all the staff there is super friendly, and helpful
My interview was March 7th 2024. I got there really early but they don’t let anyone in more than 30 minutes before the interview.
The officer that we got was very focused not nice or mad he looked at my paperwork and asked if this was a second marriage for any of us, i told him that this was my second marriage and he asked if i had petitioned my first wife i siad yes and then he asked if she had been approved or denied, i answered she was denied but i didnt remember the reason (it as in 2014) this made him very upset and siad if it was due to fraud, i siad no and then he was visibly upset and started asking questions first together then separated. He siad he needed alot more evidence than normal because he already doubted anything i siad. I was absolutely scared to say the least
We handed in photos, wedding album, money transfers, flight confirmation, whatsapp chats, doctors note (i went to a urologist to get checked because we want to have kids), and a bank book (with withdrawls and deposits) it was a total of about 50 pages of stuff
Questions:
How did we meet?
When we met im person for the first time?
When did we get married?
Then he separated us and asked these same questioms
Who picked up your husband at the airport?
Why did your father need to take a friend to pick u up?
Does your spouse have any tattoos or any birthmarks?
How long does he stay when he comes visit you?
When was the last time you were intimate? (yes he actually asked this)
What are your spouses siblings names?
After that he really calmed down and said “Listen, to me your marriage is real, but due to the fact the first marriage was deemed fraud (this shocked me) im gonna need more evidence” And handed me a 221g
He kept my wife's passport and said im gonna keep this please upload these specific evidence (we did the same day)
I uploaded them the same day but didn't finalize it until a week later (i realized this late)
Two days after this my case went from refused to Ready the same day after that it went to AP, and today it Finally siad ISSUED!!
All i can say is please honest if your marrige is really everything will go smoothly the interview is very quick and to the point, also to much evidence doesn't exist lol

*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.
