Arrived pretty early - lots of people in line, but I went directly to a member of staff who literally escorted me to the front and I bypassed the whole line. Through security, around the outside of the building and then to a desk where a number was issued. Into a big holding area with lots and lots of seats (think conference centre/bus garage circa 1970) with a big screen showing numbers as needed to go to a window.
First window was handing over documents and then told to take a seat again, then quickly I was called for the 'interview'. 3 or 4 direct questions, how did we meet, when did we meet, why we chose to live in the US and not the other way round. And that was that. Told I was approved! Quite straight forward, but nerve wracking all the same. Straight to Selfridges for celebratory champagne! |

So finally the interview for AOS from K1 visa happened.
My local office was San Bernadino and I was surprised just how many people were being interviewed. We arrived with a good 30 minutes to spare, but despite there only being 6 or 7 people infront of us, going through security took a good 20 minutes of that time. Standard airport style but some people just slowed the process down for whatever reason.
Up to the second floor and we must have waited around 30 minutes. The interviewer was polite, but definitely serious, quite stern and had no room for small talk. We took the oath and he then asked me (the beneficiary) all the questions on the I-485. He then asked for any documentation we had. I handed over a couple of things (bank statement, phone bill and proof I was my husbands spouse per military ID.
He then asked my husband how we met and about 2 minutes in he told me to put all the paperwork away, took some photocopies of original birth certificates, marriage certificate and IDs and then told me I was approved subject to a further check. He was so serious though and he did it saying that it was not guaranteed, so I totally did not get that really it was done. I asked him what if his further check meant he would not approve me and he smiled (finally) and said - have you lied to me, are you a criminal? then I don't see a problem.
He then had some small talk about where we live etc so he relaxed a little as did we.
I got the text later that day to say approved and green card being produced.
Advice? - I would have your strongest paperwork of proof ready on top. I kind of wished I had given him other documents - I thought they were stronger,but in my anxiety I just passed the first thing I put my hands on to give him. I walked out thinking if I knew he'd only wanted 3 pieces of proof I kind of wished they were other documents.
But - no matter really as approved in the end.
Yes it is nerve wracking, but if you are genuine and honest, then you really shouldn't have a problem.
I did ask him for advice and recommendations for ROC. He said everything should have 2 names on it, everything intertwined, and each other be beneficiaries on wills, 401k, etc...
p.s in this venue sit near the reception desk to hear when called for interview. The interviewers just come into the room and call your name when ready and it can be hard to hear them. Especially as there are a couple of TVs on.
Good Luck!

*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.
