Local US CIS Office Review: Los Angeles CA

| Embassy Review : |
I moved to the US from Canada under K1 Visa on Nov 11 2017. We got married on Dec 8th and sent my AOS/EAD/AP application in early Jan. I was expecting to receive EAD and AP in 3 months and AOS in 6 months. Little did I know, it takes way longer than 3 months to get a EAD/AP these days! But I was surprised to receive a letter in mail in April for an interview on May 4 2018.
My interview was at 11:30am at Los Angeles office. My husband and I arrived at 11:05am. There was a bit of wait to go through the security line at the main entrance. A security guard came over, and took us and a guy in front of us to a different entrance without a line. So we cleared through security in less than 2 minutes. The security guard was SUPER nice! Asked what we were here for, and patiently guided us where to go and which suite to go once we were on 8th floor.
Checked in at window 4 at Suite 8024 at 11:10am. There were about 7-10 groups of people in the room when we arrived. Started at 11:20am, more than half of them were called into the interview rooms. Then my name was called at around 11:35-11:40am by our immigration officer - Officer Chan. Honestly i was quite shocked at how quickly we were called. I expected to wait for 45mins to an hour!
We got to the interview office which looked just like any other office. We swore under oath, then sat down. It was super chill and not scary at all. We made some small talks. He then opened our file, and said "so you came under K1 Visa, did you get married within 90 days?" I told him my arrival date and our wedding date; and confirmed that we were married within 90 days. He asked if I brought any wedding photos with me. I said i did and explained that we only had a simple wedding at the courthouse, but our real wedding would be in Hawaii this Sep. He asked why in Hawaii and if we had any families there. My husband answered that was the destination of our first trip together. Then I showed him 3 photos of our wedding, one of us with my in-laws and the officiant at the courthouse, a photo of us and one with families at a Korean BBQ restaurant right after our courthouse wedding LOL! He was like Korean BBQ?? Thats when we started talking about random stuff, travelling and restaurants in LA. When we chatted about travelling, we mentioned that we had been to Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and China together.
Here are some green card related questions he asked:
- He asked if my medical file (sealed envelop) was submitted at POE. I said yes and that my medical examination was done in less than a year ago.
- What does my husband do for a living?
- Am I currently working? I said no but I had a job offer. Then he asked what I did in Canada (Financial Planner) and which company I received the job offer from in LA (a major financial institution). Apparently the officer's wife was in the same industry and we talked about job opportunities here.
- Can we give him some joint documents such as lease agreement, insurance papers and etc. I brought quite a bit of evidence, so I gave him our lease agreement, joint car insurance policy, 2 joint bank accounts statements, and our previous lease agreement in Canada. I was pulling out more documents and he said that was enough lol.
- He asked to see my husband's (USC) identifications - passport and original birth certificate.
- I answered NO to all of the questions on i-485; he asked if I needed to make any changes to them. And he asked me to answer all the standard security questions.
And that was it, he closed our file and asked if I had any questions for him. At this point, he didn't say if I was approved. So I just simply asked if I was approved LOL!!! Then he said I was approved; my file was clear and our financials looked good. I should expect to receive my green card in 4-6 weeks. I told him that I sort of needed the green card ASAP as my new employer needed me to start right away; and my new employer was waiting for my call after the interview. He joked about calling my new company from his office to let them know. Haha! He offered and gave me an approval letter to show to my new employer!
We left the USCIS building before 12pm. What a pleasant experience at the LA office. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely nice! Cheers to the end of this journey!
FYI, we parked at Aiso street lot according to many recommendations here on Visajourney. It was less than 5 minute walk to the USCIS building. Very cheap to park there! Highly recommend! |

*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.
