Everything went so well. We arrived sometime before 2pm for a 2.30 appointment. The lady that seemed the nicest (and the one we hoped to get) called my name at 2.40pm.
We had to swear ourselves in and sit. She explained how the interview was going to proceed and then started. She first asked the mandatory questions: name, birth, address, etc...
Her first question regarding our relationship was about how we met which she asked directly to me (the alien) but my husband contributed the details. It seemed to be going pretty well.
Frankly, after that question, there weren't many others. We started talking about local life and events and places to visit; and while we were still talking she stamped my passport in approval.
She said it would take from 1 to 2 months to get the green card in the mail but in the meantime the stamp in my passport would suffice for any travel and proof of residency (the stamp itself is valid for a year). Apparently the 1 to 2 months wait is due to a change of policy and machine equipment for printing.
And that was it!
Strangely enough it lasted about 40 minutes but only because we were talking about beer. |

*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.
