Local US CIS Office Review: Los Angeles CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : October 1, 2021 Embassy Review : The local office was the San Fernando Valley location, Visa Journey doesn't have an option for it specifically. Interview was incredibly quick. Very little wait, the officer went over the standard I-485 security questions, informed us of the I-751 process, looked at some of the photos we submitted in advance, took some additional documents (joint tax transcripts, health insurance plan, retirement savings with my wife as the beneficiary, letter from parents attesting that we live at their house along with mortgage statement). We weren't even asked about our relationship, just told us to wait for a decision and sent us on our way. Her green card was approved later that day. (updated on October 1, 2021) 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
