Honestly, I don't think we could have had a better experience. I, the petitioner, went with my husband to attend his interview. His interview was scheduled for 9:30 AM and we arrived at 9. We were out by 10:30 with approval!
All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival, we joined a queue and a woman took my husband's interview letter and made a note that I was attending with him. We went through airport-style security where everyone was helpful and not at all intimidating. We were told to skip the line inside the next building because of our status (IR-1) but we didn't quite understand so we got a little lost at first, but ended up joining the line and then getting called up to the admin desk by my husband's name (this was no problem--they just wanted to make sure he got in in time for his interview and we had been stuck in the line with the non-immigrant visa applicants).
We were given a ticket number and directed to the farthest left booths on level 1. We waited about fifteen minutes before being called up for the preliminary, administrative-like interview where a kind woman took our documents and asked basic questions about our application. We were asked to sit down and wait to be called up for the interview. In less than five minutes of waiting, we were called up to a second window with an immigration officer. We were asked to swear to tell the truth, then the officer asked us how we met, to explain our marriage story, and to detail how often we traveled back and forth to see each other. It was very relaxed and the woman interviewing us was very friendly and put us at ease. She smiled the entire time, and was encouraging. She told us she was approving our visa and we would get my husband's passport back in about a week.
Overall, very good experience. We were both impressed!

*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.
