Local US CIS Office Review: Los Angeles CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : May 30, 2009 Embassy Review : Very smooth and professional interview at LA office. Waited for interviewer for about 1.5 hours but then the interview was quick and the IO very friendly and kind. Passport not stamped but letter of acceptance provided, which states that GC would be with us within 90 days. Questions asked were mainly basic: name, address etc. Our wedding album(s) were a clincher with the IO commenting on how expensive they looked (they weren't!) and it seemed to make a big difference that our families were so involved in everything. 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
