| Embassy Review : |
I was adjusting status from an L1B visa to residency after marrying a US Citizen.
We arrived about 30 minutes before the interview time, and we were let in after a very serious security guard reviewed our paperwork. We then checked in and waited and a huge room - lots of seating with bathrooms nearby.
About 5 minutes past we were called to the interview room by a very friendly officer. We chatted a bit and then he swore us in before going over the paperwork. He asked us to confirm info on the documents we had submitted. Names (my wife had since changed her last name), address (we had moved since the paperwork was sent), and where I was born etc.
Then he asked each of us the other's birthday, when and where we met, the area we lived in and then asked me the strict questions about my history with military etc. The only issues I've had with the law are speeding tickets and told him that.
Next he asked for what evidence we had brought of our relationship. The photo's were already out so we showed him those but he asked for "documents", so we handed over the joint bank account, flight tickets and documents showing each other as beneficiary's for retirement / investment accounts. I had a tax return that showed "married" and my last two payslips showing "married".
As he flipped through the photos he said he had already made his decision. He asked about the proposal and then told us to leave his office because he'll be sending me the greencard javascript:emoticon(' '). Before we had left the parking lot the website was sending updates that interview was complete and about 20
minutes later, I-485 was approved.
Overall, despite the ridiculously long waiting time (357 days from application being received), the interview was a really easy process. We didn't have a complicated case so that probably helped. 4/5 because of the wait time being nearly a year.

*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.
