They never asked for an interview. We provided lots of evidence in the application: apartment leases signed by both, jointly filed tax returns, paperwork from when we added Montuda (the applicant) to my (US citizen) bank account, bank statements featuring both of our names, joint health insurance policy, paperwork of our joint phone account, internet/ cable paperwork with both of our names on it, 2 notarized affidavits from friends/ coworkers about their relationship with Montuda and I, 10 photographs of Montuda and I with friends and family and on trips we've taken, 2 christmas cards addressed to both of us. |

Don't be scared of the interview. Just be normal. If you have done all the paperwork and you have nothing to hide, there will be no problem. They can speak Thai if you don't understand english. Easy easy. Only 3 minutes. |

*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.
