| Embassy Review : |
We had our AOS interview in Chicago today.
My wife is the US citizen and I'm the beneficiary.
It was scheduled for 11:30am. We got there at 10:30 am,
cleared security, went up to 2nd floor and submitted our interview appointment letter.
The lady at the counter gave us a buzzer and we then waited until 12:20pm for our turn.
Our IO was a male officer who took us to his office, introduced himself and made us take oath to
tell the truth.
He then said "you must be __ and you must be __". He then asked for our drivers license, passports
and social security cards (he said "if you have them"). He noted our new address on our original
application packet we had submitted.
He then went over a checklist of Yes/No questions for me such as "are you affiliated with a terrorist organization" etc etc (no to all) and in the end made us both sign the document.
He then asked my wife if she had given any one else immigration benefits. (She has not)
He then asked for our employment letters and noted my wife's new employment address and position.
He then asked her what she does as her position title was not in the employment letter. He took
notes of this on the application packet.
We recently moved and we told him why we moved and on what date.
He then started going through our application packet and asked her my DOB, the names of my parents
and if she had met them. (She has not as they live overseas).
He then asked if this was our first marriage for both of us(2nd for her, 1st for me), if we have kids or have kids outside this marriage (no and no).
He asked us to describe our relationship and I answered when we met, when we started dating, when we
got engaged and then married. He then asked who attended the wedding and why we had a small wedding. I answered and my wife said "would you like to see pictures" and showed him the wedding album. He looked at a few pictures and said "these are nice". He asked if we had a reception afterwards (no).
He then asked for the originals of my birth certificate, our marriage certificate and divorce decree
from her previous marriage. He then asked my wife the duration of her previous marriage.
He then asked if we have taken any trips and my wife showed him pictures from two more album with pictures of our friends, family, events etc. He asked a few questions like "who is this in this picture" or "what are you doing here".
Since we had recently moved and my wife has a new job, we had prepared a packet with updated bills, insurance cards, copies of our new drivers licenses, 2009 tax, new payslips, retirement account showing each other as beneficiaries, joint lease, medical insurance cards etc. We handed over this entire packet with a cover letter as an update to our application. He seemed to like that.
In the end he said "I'm recommending your case for approval and you should receive your Green Card within 90 days". He also mentioned that we might get the card earlier around 2 weeks but 90 days is
the maximum wait time and we can make an infopass appointment if we don't hear from them.
He removed the I-94 card out of my passport and said he did not need the EAD or AP document.
We asked him if we could travel on AP and he suggested I should wait for the Green Card before
traveling outside the country.
Our interview appointment letter had a mistake in my middle name and he said he'll make a note to fix it. He also mentioned that the name is taken from the applicats birth certificate and checked to make sure the name on the copy of my Birth Certificate was correct.
We then thanked him and he showed us the way out.
Both my wife and I thought that the interviewing officer was very professional, friendly and treated
us with respect.

*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.
