Received O1 Visa 06-08-2006
Renewed every year.
Last entry in the US: 08-21-2008
Went in for the interview this morning (Norfolk office). Got there a little early, Went very well, took about 15 minutes. The officer (Golli? Galli?) went right to business, but not too scary either. Checked that we could spell our own names, ask our parents' names, address, mostly basic stuff. We brought lots of pictures, he only kept copies from the wedding (we also had our wedding album). We bought our first house in December, so we had proof of that as well.
We were a little worried because my wife has Type 1 diabetes, and we couldn't bring food or juice inside in case she goes low while waiting. But we weren't there long enough for that issue to occur.
Overall, very good experience there. The officer took my I-94 that was stapled to my passport and said we'd get the green card in the mail between 2 weeks to 6 months. Hopefully it comes within 2 weeks! Also, he told us I was getting a permanent GC since we've been married for more than 2 years. I like that he told us his decision right away, rather than being ambiguous as I've read about other people...

*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.
