Local US CIS Office Review: Jacksonville FL Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : January 5, 2021 Embassy Review : I don't know if I would be able to give this review unless I found the nicest Officer Ferrill. (I do not say other officers are not nice but this is the only officer I met) You can not ask a better person. I was the first one on the line and they opened the door at 6:45 for my 7 am appointment. Security officers were nice to me as I had no any issues but followed their guidance. (Two ladies behind me were struggling taking a long time to check their own bags for perfumes or lighters) My phone was in silent mode. I was sitting in waiting room about 15 minutes until the officer from 1st counter called me. There was a plexiglass between us. He asked me to remove my mask to identify my face. Then gave the promise to tell the truth. Then asked my passport(s) and green card. Took my old expired green card and gave me a copy back. Next asked the 6 questions. 1 What are the 2 ways American can participate their democracy? 2. What is the political party of current president? 3.What is the age to vote for a president? 4. Why the flag has 13 stripes? 5. Why the flag has 50 starts? 6.Name one part of the US government. Reading Test: Washington D.C is the capital of the United State. Writing Test: California state has the largest population. Next asked questions from my application. My name? Husband's name? How many marriages? What is the name of my husband's ex? How old are my husband's children from ex marriage? How many years I have been married to current husband? Traveling outside the US? (I completely forgot I was passing the Mexico border and spent about half hour there when I was traveling in Arizona for last thanksgiving. So I did not mentioned that in my application. He asked me about my 'November" visit outside the country. Then I remembered and told him about the short visit and it was not a problem) Congratulated me for passing the test and told to inform me the decision soon after they will verify some documents I brought new. Next day the approval letter was online followed by the postal mail. Ceremony will be the end of January! (No visitors) Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
