Arrived at the USCIS office in Montgomery, AL a little early since you can never account for traffic. So, it gave us time to get something to eat just off the interstate.
The office doesn't open until 7:30 and it says you can only enter 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment which was at 8AM
Once inside security checked our paperwork and ID's then we went thru the metal detectors.. so; no knives, guns or bombs allowed.
We were then directed to sit in the chairs in front of 4 windows. The gentleman at window 1 (the only one open) was obviously having issues getting the computers to work. We were called to window 1 and were checked in. They only asked for interview paper and both our drivers license and my wife's passport.
A different person came out of side door to speak to us. He said he only needed to talk to my wife and I could wait. She was sked to bring her ID, passport as well as her medical papers and our sons birth certificate.
I thought, oh no, not this kind of interview!
But in less than 5 minutes, she came out and said we could go and she would be getting her green card in about 2 weeks.
She said they only asked her a few basis questions like what is your home address, when did you get married and have you committed any crimes to which she replied "not yet". This got a big laugh from the interviewer and she was asked to reply yes or no. That was it. |

Timeline Comments: 1Wow Mike, you are very close to me geographically. I did not know there was a CIS Office in Montgomery. I hope you do not mind but I will be following you to get a better understanding of the process and what is involved.
*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
