Dead simple. Waited maybe 10 minutes, the interviewer spent more time telling me about his wife than actually asking me anything. All he did ask was when we were getting married. So much easier than I had imagined. |

I think I got lucky with the speed at which my AOS was processed. My EAD application still hasn't even been touched.
The Atlanta office was very nice, indicated I would be approved at interview and received my GC 8 days later. |

I was beyond nervous heading in and had allowed a few hours to complete everything but it went (suprisingly) smoothly and I was all over and done in about an hour. My only hiccup was they had not yet received my medical results due to delays with Dr Okraglik in Melbourne.
The lady I had was incredibly lovely and I had verbal approval at the end pending my medical results being okay.
I don't recommend the trip up in the elevator if you have a cold though. I still wince remembering how much it hurt when my ears popped. :S |

We had our interview for adjustment of status in Atlanta last week on May 24th.
Despite being super nervous, it was surprisingly painless. We were scheduled for 9:55AM and were seen at 10:20AM. The interview only took about 25 minutes. The lady swore us in, went over the basic questions from our application (Eg, have you ever committed genocide. lol), then asked us questions about how we met, where we were married, did we go on a honeymoon. She asked me what my husband (the USC) did and what our current living situation was. She took a few things from our compiled evidence and told us she was approving us.
The only slight hiccup was that I had gotten a traffic citation recently. YOU 100% HAVE TO DECLARE TRAFFIC CITATIONS EVEN IF YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO COURT FOR THEM! I hesitated on that question because of the culture barrier and wasn't really sure what to say. It was no big deal, they jsut want to make sure you've paid for it, or are intending to pay for it, and to record what it was for.
She also recommended we start compiling evidence for the removal of conditions NOW so that there are no hiccups in 2 years time.
After telling us we would receive my GC in 1-2 weeks I panicked a bit when the online status didn't update at all, however it finally did last night (the 30th) to say that my GC is already in the mail.
Ultimately it was pretty painless, just need to make sure you bring everything you can to the interview because you never know what they are going to want evidence of. |

*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.
