Our appointment was at 1:15 pm. We checked in around 12:50 PM and was sent to the waiting room. We didn't get called in until 2:45 PM.. but the wait was worth it because our interview went as smooth as a baby's butt.. We went into the officer's office and he swore us in right away.. then he started typing stuff on his computer and it was about 5 minutes of awkward silence.. then he asked me (USC) if I've ever been to Mongolia and I said no.. He said "you're missing out.." ... turns out he used to live in Russia and is a big history buff and knew all about Mongolia's history.. We proceed to talk about the history of Mongolia for the next 10 minutes or so... and then he went through the I-485 questions... then asked us: how we met? when did you know you wanted to marry her? have you met her family? then he asked me if we had any documents that we like to submit for proof of marriage.. I took out a stack of documents from my organizer.. after the 3rd document was handed, he said ok ok that's enough... I have more than enough evidence to convince me.. congratulations.. you're approved!

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
