Comments : |
They told us on the spot the green card was approved. Interviewer was nice, friendly. Mainly asked what I assume are standard required questions about military training etc. Or maybe these were asked because we had answered "yes" to prior military service (in Turkey). Also a couple questions about things we had done since he got to US and plans for the summer. We had lots of photos, but they didn't look at any. |

Embassy Review : |
Not many questions. Specified a preference for Turkish but they asked in English and that went okay. I have to assume if it hadn't, they would have interviewed in Turkish. Interviewer was very nice and seemed sincere when she said, "Welcome to the United States!" |

Embassy Review : |
The interviewer (male) was very nice, friendly. He did not look at any of the photos we brought. He asked some questions casually about where we'd been since my fiance (now husband) arrived, why we married in a different state from our residence (my family is there), and what our plans are for summer. He also asked the list of questions we'd completed on a form about military service and the like. This might be std., but probably triggered by a yes answer to having previous military service on the form (military service is mandatory in hubby's country). He told us on the spot that the permanent residency was approved and sounded sincere in his congratulations and "welcome to the US." |

*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.
