Interview went very smooth. Went through pics, tax returns, joint bank account info, & health insurance info. Actual interview took about 30 mins. He let us keep the EAD/AP Combo card for use until Green Card arrives.
********* Attempted Green Card theft by USPS workers*****
We made the mistake of not calling to get the tracking number of the greencard within 2 weeks*********** After 30 days we called USCIS and got the tracking info. It showed the card had been scanned in to our local Post Office 3 weeks prior but no scan "out for delivery". We immediately went to our local usps who gave us a printout showing the tracking info and sent us to a pickup location. The manager at the pickup location took the sheet and said it was an internal document and we shouldn't have it. They had no idea where the mail was. He couldn't believe USCIS would send out such an important document without a "signature required" and why "it took me so long to look for it". Like them losing the card was my fault. I immediately assumed a worker stole the card. They would not provide me with a letter stating the lost it. According to USCIS that was the only way I could avoid paying again, but it would still be Up to 8 months until a new card would be issued. We opened up a internal mail theft complaint with the inspector general of the post office and the police. I received a call a week later from my local post office manager (different manager). She was in the process of telling me that she couldn't locate the mail when she asked me about The whole story again. When I mentioned my wife's name she said "hold on a minute". She returned to the call 5 mins later stating I wouldn't believe what just happened. She had the card in her lost and found. It was found on the floor of her office just a day ago. It was out of the envelope just laying there when she arrived the day before. |

| Embassy Review : |
Process was efficient and everyone was helpful. The Consul didn't ask for tons of proof of relationship. Probably due to the fact we had 8 separate trips worth of boarding passes for Adam's visits. Very satisfied. |

*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.
