Local US CIS Office Review: Portland OR Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : September 12, 2010 Embassy Review : The interview went well we thought. We had to use an interpreter. the interviewer went through all the questions she had answered on the form that asked all the questions about criminal activity and party affiliation. Then she asked me for a copy of my divorce decrees that had already been sent with the original application. I thought this unusual so I asked and she said that all of he paperwork for my original application had been lost. So when the form says bring copies of all your paperwork, you had better bring copies! She asked about our wedding and wanted all of our pictures. She also asked how relations were with my 12 year old boy. She then explained how the two year expiration worked on the green card to my wife making sure the interpreter got it right and that my wife understood. We were honest with all of our answers. Then the interviewer asked my wife and the interpreter to leave and she explained that the way the green card expiration worked was to protect the American citizen. she then told me she was suspicious of our marriage because of our age difference but that we were approved and would receive a green card in approximately 3 weeks. It did not come in 5 weeks so I put a tracer on it and got no reply. A month later an officer from the fraud division showed up and interviewed us and wanted to see our bedroom. He was very courteous and assured us that things would proceed quickly from now on. We received the green card notification about 5 weeks later. Harassment Level : Good

*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.
