| Embassy Review : |
Our interview was scheduled for 8:30 am and they don't allow you to enter the building until 15 minutes before the interview, so we arrived around 8:00 am and went inside the building at 8:15. Once we were let inside the building, we went through security before standing in line at the check-in desk. They checked our interview appointment letter and wrote a number on the letter. Then, they directed us to sit in the chairs in front of the biometrics window and wait to be called up. They said that they would call our number over the loudspeaker when it was time to go back to the interview rooms.
When we were called to the biometrics window, they took a photo of my husband and then fingerprints of his left and right index finger. Then, they directed us to sit and wait in the lobby until our number was called over the loudspeaker. We only had to wait about 5 minutes before they called us to the door and our interviewing officer met us and brought us back to a private office. Before sitting down, he instructed us to raise our right hands and take the oath affirming that we would tell the truth.
Once we sat down, he asked both my husband and I for our IDs (driver's licenses) and the interview appointment letter. He then proceeded to ask us questions about how we met and when we got married. He asked if we had any evidence of a bonafide marriage and I handed him copies of our joint bank account statements, credit card statements, car insurance, medical benefits, and photos from our wedding and other trips. We had a lot more documents like joint tax returns, lease agreement, renter's insurance, etc. but he said he didn't need to see them.
Then he asked my husband some of the yes/no questions from the I485 form (e.g. ever received military training, ever been affiliated with communist party, ever received public assistance from US government, etc.) After this, he asked if we had any questions and then started putting the documents in our file and typing on the computer all while just chatting with us more informally. Then, he said congratulations because our case was approved and we would receive the green card in a few weeks! He also explained that it would be a conditional green card since we haven't hit our two year wedding anniversary yet so it would expire in two years and we could apply for the new green card within 90 days of this green card expiring. He gave us a letter saying that the case had been approved then walked us out of the office. That was it! When I arrived home, I saw our case status had been updated to 'new card is being produced'.
We were only there for about an hour and it wasn't too difficult! |

*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.
