INTERVIEW COMMENTS:
Arrived 15 minutes early and was asked to show appointment email confirmation and passport. Was let in and got to bypass any lines and was sent straight to reception where they sent my fiance to the correct room. After a 2 minute wait, his number was called and he was told to present:
Birth Certificate
Police Certificate
Affidavit of Support
Supporting Evidence (employment letter and W-2s)
We had much more supporting evidence that they didn't ask for. He was fingerprinted. He was asked if he had a name change, if he'd served in the military, and if he'd lived abroad (aside from UK or US). His answer was no to all those questions. They gave him his x-ray results from the medical and told him to keep hold of them.
After a small 2 minutes-tops wait, he was called to another desk. He said the oath before answering questions. They gave back the birth certificate but not the police record. They asked:
Fiance's name
If he'd ever overstayed any previous visas
How did you and your fiance meet
What were you doing in the US when you met
How many times have we met over the years
These were casual. They took his fingerprints again. Then they gave verbal approval and said to wait up to two weeks to receive the passport back. They also gave him a receipt information card in case he has any questions.
For us, the entire interview process even arriving 15 minutes early took less than 30 minutes. I think it was about 25 minutes. It was pleasant and efficient. Our appointment was on a Thursday at 10:30am (arrived at 10:15am).

At our interview we were told we had an "internal document" missing so we couldn't be approved on the spot. 2.5 weeks later we received an Approval Notice in the mail. And 2 days later we received the Green Card! |

*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.
