We had our interview in Denver and arrived half hour early. We had ALL our paperwork with us and went through security and handed the guard our appointment letter which they kept. My husband, Jim, made a comment about wouldn't it be great if they were running ahead of time and I laughed as so far most appointments required lots of waiting. Well, Jim's comment paid off as the officer called our name 10 minutes early!
We had a very brief interview, the officer asked us how we met and wanted to know about Jim's previous marriages and the lessons he learned from them and why this marriage was going to work. Being my first time being married, the officer then asked if I was 'leary' about marrying someone who has been divorced. We then talked about how our relationship has progressed since me arriving in the States and showed him an album of our wedding photos and visiting Jim's family in Texas. Other questions involved confirming personal details:DOB, address, parent's names.
We asked him about my EAD and AP as I had not received anything in the mail yet and to our amazement, he said that we would most likely get the permanent resident card before the other two arrive which makes it even better as the card enables me to travel outside the US without AP and also allows me to work. Very cool. |

*** Work in progress ***
We arrived the Consulate building around 0700... however, the elevators to the 10th Floor (U.S. Consulate security checkpoint) are not functional until 0745 for the general public. Personnel that work in the building have key-cards that allow them to utilize the elevator. So, we waited in the seating area by the elevator entrance until the elevators *finally* worked for us.
Once the elevator is usable you go up to the tenth floor and find the U.S. Consulate security office. The security folks will ask for your appointment letter and identification... then process you through a metal detector to another waiting area. Once |

*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.
