My husband's AOS interview was originally scheduled for May 17, 2011. But we had to reschedule since that date landed right in the middle of our non-refundable honeymoon vacation in Hawaii. We were able to successfully reschedule by calling the USCIS 1-800 number and writing to our local USCIS office. |

On my husband's EAD card, it said his Country of Birth was "Unknown"! We mentioned that during his AOS interview though, and the green card came saying his Country of Birth is "Finland". Good. :) |

| Embassy Review : |
I am the USC, and I wasn't with my fiance during his interview, but everything went fine and he was approved. Here is his interview experience in his own words:
"I was so nervous before the interview. First I had hard time finding the embassy from the jungle of embassies, that place has pretty much every embassy that Finland has. I got there 10 minutes before 9am when my interview was scheduled though it wouldn't have mattered much even if I wasn't there in time as it seemed as there was already some people waiting before me. It took about 15 minutes to get through the security check and I was only allowed to bring papers I needed with me. After that I was escorted to the waiting room, which had 3 booths, and each had a person behind a glass calling names, whether it was for taking finger prints or dropping off some papers. Then after waiting for almost an hour I was called for the interview by the ambassador. And this is how the interview went:
Him:
Good morning sir
Me:
Good morning
Him:
How did you guys meet?
Me:
We met online, through a message board and we met in person in 2005 in California for the first time.
Him:
Ok, has your fiancee ever been in Finland with you?
Me:
Yes she has, 3 times and 9 months in total. First in 2006.... 2008... and 2009.
Him:
Ok, are you planning on moving to the United States?
Me:
Yes
(Then he handed me a piece of paper)
Him:
Do you swear that all the information you have handed us are correct and you have full understanding over the situation? If yes, sign this line here
(So then I signed the paper)
Him:
Ok I will process your application now and it will take 1.5-2 weeks.
Me:
Alright, Thank you and have a good day.
Him:
Thanks, you too!" |

*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.
