The process went very smooth and pretty fast. All in all the interview probably took 30 minutes or so. The interviewer started talking to me first because he said I was the petitioner for the K-1, he had a huge pile of all the papers we had sent in through the K-1 and AOS process and mentioned that he read over my letter saying how we met which I sent in with the original K-1 packet which he quoted from about our relationship. He asked when we got married and then said "You had a civil marriage in Cleveland right?" and I corrected him and said that we actually had a religious one in Akron. He then asked my husband to verify his name and where he was born, if he was working, wanted to know a bit about the study abroad that we met during and what schools we graduated from as well as where I stayed during visits to England and how we kept in touch while being apart. Had my husband go through all of those yes/no questions on the I-485 to verify his answers. He also said that he saw that our K-1 application was approved last September (our NOA2) and wondered why it took so long to get the visa. I showed him some of our evidence for joint bank accounts and he wanted to know who wrote the checks and what we used the account for, what kind of bills we had, how much we paid my mother in rent. I also showed him our joint credit cards, debit cards and ID's with same address. I had more but he said that evidence looked good and wanted to move on to the album of pictures I had brought. He went through the wedding pictures, just kind of flipping through, asking my husband to identify some of the people in them. Then he asked about our extensive travelling around the UK and France while I was visiting my husband and wanted to know more. I had made a small photo book for my husband for our previous anniversary with pics from all our trips going through our trips which I had brought so I showed the officer and he flipped through and asked a few questions about the places we went, asked if we got to see a play in Stratford Upon Avon (which we didn't unfortunately, sold out/too expensive while David Tennant was in Hamlet, shame.... ).
That was about it. He said he couldn't say absolute because everyone still has to go through one more security check at the end of the process, but he thought our case was straightforward and that he was recommending it for approval. He talked about removing conditions and then we left. And we got the text/email for card production the next day. |

*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.
