Local US CIS Office Review: Cleveland OH Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : March 3, 2021 Embassy Review : Our appointment went very well and the officer who interviewed us was friendly and warm. It both felt like an interview and just a formality because he seemed to already have a positive opinion of our case. He only took 2 papers out of the 2" worth of evidence and forms we brought with us in a binder. He seemed surprised that after he went over all the questions on the i-485 form that there were no errors and he didn't have to change anything. He was very impressed with our evidence we had previously provided, how thorough we were and how we presented our evidence we brought with us. He literally refused to take anything besides a copy of our sons birth cert. and his paternity test. He didn't want the updated I-864's or taxes or paystubs or proof of our relationship. I offered to provide proof of his insurance which was new, for the i-944 and he said "nah, you don't need it, its a stupid form (i-944) anyway." YES he actually said that. 😮 He said he wasn't going to split our folder into two (the one he had) because we already have so much and it's so full, so he basically didn't need anything else. He did want to look at the photos but he didn't keep any. He didn't ask any crazy questions, most of the questions were just going over the I-485 to make sure we didn't miss anything. He asked who our joint sponsor was, he asked about the age of our son and when we met, how we started talking, when we started dating, how many children I have (he asked me that), if I ever met his parents what their names are and where they live, and asked how long I was with him in Australia. All the questions were really easy and he wasn't trying to trick us or find a reason to deny us. He told us they don't do approvals on the spot and said we should know in 1-2 days. About an hour and a bit after the interview our status finally updated to "New Card Being Produced!" YAY!! 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.
