Gavin came in through LAX, he used Visa Waiver for entry. He was sent to secondary inspection. IO gave him hassle because he didn't declare bringing enough money to stay in the country even though Gavin said he was staying with his Mrs. IO's supervisor approved entry. Took us nearly 3 hours to get past immigration. |

We applied for AOS on 3/13/09. The whole process was pretty effortless. I had one RFE because I had not filed taxes the previous year so I had none to show. Sent affidavit to that effect. |

I was extremely nervous going to our AOS interview but I knew we have a bona fide marriage so everything would be fine. We arrived 15 minutes before our appointment time which was as 2pm. They called us back within 5 minutes. They sat us in a office, the IO was very pleasant. He asked Gavin questions and from my briefing with our immigration advisor I stayed quiet waiting for him to ask me something. He asked Gavin the basics about name, birth date, address etc. Then he got up and asked me to follow him. I was so freaked out! He sat me in a chair down the hall, and asked me to wait saying it wouldn't be long. He went back to ask Gavin questions, mainly about our co sponsor, which happened to be my ex husband, about 5 minutes later he came back and got me. I sat down and the one and only question he asked me was what day our trash gets picked up..I answered, correctly of course (he'd asked Gavin during his questioning)..Then he said well everything looks good, you've been approved  He informed us about 2 year removal of conditions being very important, and that Gavin would get his welcome letter soon, followed by his Green Card. We walked out of the office at 2:07 pm. We got both the letter and the GC about a week later. I am so happy to be done with immigration for awhile..it was stressful but he's worth it ♥ |

*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.
