I met a friendly young officer at the counter. He checked my passport and the biometrics.
I handed him the package and he stared at it wondering how to open it, because they taped it really well at the consulate in Amsterdam. He quickly browsed through the papers.
I was done within 15 minutes and it went very easy. |

We do have an RFE, but they never sent it to us, although they claimed so. They did sent it to another woman in the USA.
I discovered that something was wrong by looking at the uscis page ,luckily she did too, and sent it to me.
From the lady at the info pass we received a confirmation that our RFE time had been reset, from the day we talked to her and the 87 days onward.
Received RFE: april,16,2007
Requested evidence sent april 24, 2007 |

The dates were a bit messed up with my NOA date and the online 'received' date, only 2 weeks apart. :P
It went extremely fast, we were approved within 3,5 months. It seemed many of CSC filing at this time are going speedy. Awesome. |

We finally did get the great news that my interview was scheduled on oct.17 2006.
The week before I first had my medical. The x-ray was pretty easy and was fast spent money
At the doctor the asked me to hand them the filled out papers and the doctor called me in for bloodwithdrawal to check on HIV and Syffilis. The medical was so easy, weighing, lenght and check my lungs and bloodpressure.
Important is to have your vaccinationsrecords up to date. People born before 1985, need a MMR shot, because they diodn't give these to kids before them as a cocktail.
The day at the embasy went easy aswell. The only thing that wasn't good were my passport size picture, eventhough telling the photographer, they didn't approve of the size and I was sent back to get the right size taken somewhere in Amsterdam, luckily there was one close by .
I handed my pictures, affidavit and after I had to wait for about half an hour.
I was called to another booth and they asked me to raise my hand and swear that the files were truth to my best knowledge.
The man asked me a few questions as where we should live. since we are going to look for a place to live together, we'll be staying at my mother-in-laws house for a few weeks, he asked if I liked her, because otherwise it would be hard . He handed me an enveleope with the X-ray and the vacciantionsheet to bring in my checked luggage.
Within two days I received my passport in the mail, together with the sealed package.
On november 15th I'll be flying to the USA.

I met a very friendly young officer at the counter. He checked my passport and asked me to take off my glasses to take a picture, because the picture on the visa was taken with my contacts in.
I handed him the package and he stared at it wondering how to open it, because they taped it really well at the consulate in Amsterdam. He said it looked like Fort Knox. Well, he quickly browsed through the papers and when I asked him about the EAD, he said I had to go to the locas CIS office to get the stamp.
I was done within 15 minutes and it went very easy. |

We had an appointment at 12:30 and they called us in about 5 minutes late ( so not bad)
Our officer was called Joseph, and he ask for both our ID's, keeping my passport asside. We had to take an oath and he reminded us that everything was recorded and everything we said could be used against the immigration process. ( Felt kindda akward, but I guess that's a procedure.)
He took my case file and asked me they whole list of questions about criminal charges and asked me if I wanted to change anything on the submitted list.
Than he needed my husband and sponsors new affadavit and employment letters( both have new jobs).
He needed the 2006 tax return, we didn't have yet at the time of submitting for AOS.
He asked us where we did get married, who was present, if we did have a honeymoon and where we stayed. When I entered the US, if I had an SSN ( did not, but was no problem).
He than gave me the passport back, with NO stamp and told us, because we are married less than 2 years we I would get restricted residency. That the card would take 2-3 months, but he heard the average had it within 2 weeks.
I asked him if I could travel or needed to file or request for permmission and he said I was free to travel where ever I wanted, I only needed to file to lift conditions 90 days prior to the expiration of the green card. he gave us all the priginals back. That's all.
Very pleasant, but nerve wracking experience.
He didn't say anything about me being approved, he just stood up and opened the door. |

*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.
