Local US CIS Office Review: Oklahoma City OK Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : December 17, 2019 Embassy Review : Officer was very polite and friendly, having met us before. She went through the information in the I-485 to confirm all was correct. I had previously submitted I-693 and evidence of co-mingling of finances at the first interview appointment. After she confirmed the info in I-485 she asked me if I would like to submit anything else, I offered further financial evidence which she declined. I asked if she would like to see our photos, and she looked at them but had already stamped my paperwork as approved. She told us my application is approved and that I would receive my green card in 2-6 weeks! Harassment Level : Very Good

*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.
