Adjustment of Status Event Date CIS Office : Hartford CT Date Filed : 2019-03-08 NOA Date : 2019-03-19 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : 2019-04-18 AOS Transfer** : Interview Date : 2020-01-29 Submit Review Approval / Denial Date : 2020-01-29 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : No Greencard Received: Comments : We were there about an hour ahead of our time and they took our paperwork. I didn't realize they would ask for additional paperwork at the front desk so I had to go up 3 times with more stuff 😂 the lady was polite and friendly and we basically talked more about deers, seafood and our dogs than our actual application. She didn't ask any questions about our marriage or relationship. Nor did she ask about income. We went over my visas and I stumbled a little bit bc I had a hard time understanding her accent. She did question why I didn't study in England instead of the US and I said that the field I was in (autism) my education and work experience was more attractive since all our practices in Sweden stems from the US. She seemed to think that made sense.I did manage to see her notes that said "good bona fide marriage" and then she went over all the forms. I had forgotten to answer like 5 of the questions on there and I said our wedding date wrong, that it was October 17 and not 14 but in my head I was thinking of 2017. She made copies of our passports, drivers license and health insurance and my ead. She didn't say anything about approving us or when we'd hear for a decision so we are still in limbo. She didn't ask for photos so I asked if she wanted any and handed about 20 to them and the first picture was of us and our dog so we chatted even more about the dogs. Then she just said thank you and sent us on our way. Got the notification about 7 hours later that new card is being produced.

Local US CIS Office Review: Hartford CT Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : January 30, 2020 Embassy Review : Very friendly staff! We were there about an hour ahead of our time and they took our paperwork. I didn't realize they would ask for additional paperwork at the front desk so I had to go up 3 times with more stuff 😂 The IO lady was polite and very friendly and we basically talked more about deers, seafood and our dogs than our actual application. We went over my visas and I stumbled a little bit bc I had a little hard time understanding her accent. She did question why I didn't study in England instead of the US and I said that the field I was in (autism) my education and work experience was more attractive since all our practices in Sweden stems from the US. She seemed to think that made sense.I had forgotten to answer like 5 of the questions on the i485 yes or no questions but she didn't make an issue of it and filled it out for me and I said our wedding date wrong, that it was October 17 and not 14 but in my head I was thinking of 2017. She made copies of our passports, drivers license and health insurance and my ead. She didn't say anything about approving us or when we'd hear for a decision so we are still in limbo. She didn't ask for photos so I asked if she wanted any and handed about 20 to them and the first picture was of us and our dog so we chatted even more about the dogs. Then she just said thank you and sent us on our way. Got a notification about 7 hrs later that my new card was being produced. Very professional and pleasant experience. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
