Interview was painless. Had to wait almost 3 hours, because someone misplaced her appointment file, and did not call her in for the interview, until she asked. Interview took about 30 minutes. Officer was very friendly. (Los Angeles office) |

 AOS interview was set for 7:30. Went into office about 8:15.
Officer was very friendly and made the whole process very easy. Only asked some basic questions (same as on the forms). Made some copies of my documents, and that was it. Gave her the "welcome" letter, and the letterthat the card will be sent.
Recommendation: If you have the interview in LA (300 Los Angeles street) at 7:30 in the morning, arrive about 45 minutes early to get through security on time. It's a long line, like going through the airport. Later in the day, there is no line and you can get in in about 2 minutes. |

Timeline Comments: 1There was an 18 month time lag after the Biometrics appointment, where nothing happened (Most of my wifes' friends that applied at about the same time received their interview and citizenship within 6 month of the Biometrics appointment). The web site indicated all was fine, and no action was required. Finally sent an inquiry to USCIS and a month later we received the interview appointment letter.
*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.
