First interview date was to be 2/2/11, but the midwest blizzard closed the office, and it was automatically rescheduled. Officer said just a few more things to check and should get the GC soon.
Interview was super easy. Too easy;did not request 1 piece of evidence. |

Horrible. CO was rude and demeaning. Criticized fiancee's (non-USC) English and character. Only gave 1 instead of 0 because the visa was issued. |

Blizzard shut down the office on 2/2/11, so we got an automatic reschedule for 3/30/11. AOS Interview was TOO EASY. Time was for 8:30. We got there about 8:10. Guards were nice and greeted wife in Russian when they saw her passport. We were called into the office at about 8:35. Total Interview time was about 30 minutes. Officer was cordial, professional, and spoke a slow enough English that my wife in her nervousness was able to understand. When she did not understand a certain word, I was able to use another word she did know (maybe him seeing this helped?). We were sworn in and then sat down. I had a small box of evidence and copies of all prior paperwork, a small photo album (with pics from wedding as well as honeymoon, wedding party, and thanksgiving with my family), and a large envelope with letters. Officer asked questions off the I-485 sheet (are you criminal, prostitute, etc.) He verified name/address/birthdate/parents names/current work.
He did not ask for 1 piece of marital evidence (good or bad, not sure). Other than that he only said he was interested in how we met. Explained through Online chatroom. He asked to clarify that it was not online dating site. We met randomly on ICQ and talked about it maybe 30 seconds to 1 minute (half my wife talked, half I talked). He stamped her passport to cancel the K-1 as we were adjusting. He gave us the info paper and said the only reason he did not check congratulations was he had to do another background check and make sure of name spellings-seemed like it was because my wife changed her last name to mine. Explained also what to do in case he needed to something (RFE), gave examples then told us they were just examples and not to worry too much. |

*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.
