Positive experience for my wife (beneficiary) and I (US citizen petitioner)'s Adjustment of Status interview at the LA office this morning.
Our appointment was scheduled for 8:15am and we parked in the Los Angeles Mall parking lot across the street around 7:10am. As we exited the parking lot and walked toward the building entrance we saw a fairly long security line (maybe 50-60 people) formed to the right of the building entrance. I remembered reading on here about a shorter USCIS entrance to the left of the entrance, so we took a left at the steps and eventually saw a door marked USCIS with a security line with only 3 people in it. The guard was friendly and asked to see our appointment notice to make sure we were in the correct line. The screening was a standard airport style (shoes off, items in buckets, etc.)
After clearing the security line there's a small USCIS lobby off to the left, and directly ahead are doors into the large building lobby. Our appointment notice said not to go to the office until fifteen minutes prior to our appointment, so my wife and I sat on a bench downstairs and waited until 7:50am before heading to the elevator bank at the back left of the building and taking the elevator up to the 8th floor.
What we weren't expecting was another line on the 8th floor just to check in! We waited and made it to the window check in for our appointment at exactly 8:15am, so make sure you budget time for a potential second line. We were seated around 8:20, and our interviewer came out to call us in around 8:45.
Our interviewer was not as friendly as some other reports I have seen, but not unfriendly either, just efficient. The only questions he asked that pertained to our actual relationship related to its timeline (dates of when we met and when we moved in together, whether we filed taxes together, when/where we got married), and whether we wanted children. The rest were questions to each of us individually to verify things that we had written in the various forms (Our names, Birthdays, places of birth, Employment, Cell phone numbers, Address, verifying our signatures etc.). He also asked my wife to verify her responses to the standard yes/no questions from the 485.
Then he asked to see our supporting documents. We brought everything requested on the interview notice and had it neatly tabbed with a cover sheet on top. He didn't look at it and instead proceeded to go through all the documents one by one asking "What is this?" and handing most of them back to us. He kept our joint bank account statement, various insurances, lease agreement, and utility bills. He handed the stack of pictures we brought back to my wife without even looking at them.
After he was finished hole punching and putting everything in our file he took our identification to make copies and then returned and told us the application was going to be approved and the card would come in the mail in three weeks and asked if we had any questions. We did not, so we left the office and got an email notification that the card was being produced as we walked in the door back home.
Good luck to everyone! |

*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.
