| Embassy Review : |
We had our AOS interview at the Pittsburgh office. I (beneficiary) was adjusting from F1.
Our appointment was at 9am. We arrived about 10 mins early; they have their own parking lot which seemed spacious enough, so no need to try to find downtown parking. There's also two parking garages nearby.
The waiting room had about six people in it total and we waited about 15 mins before we got called in. The interviewing officer was named David and was very friendly, but professional. He started by swearing us both in. Then he went through some details from my I-485, confirmed my date of birth, address, phone number etc. He asked us how we met, why I decided to go to school here, how long I'd been in school and if I was going to continue with my education. He then asked my husband what he did for a living and asked us both if we'd been married before.
We then talked about our wedding, if our parents attended (his did; mine did not) and why mine did not (they couldn't fly due to short notice and health issues). He asked if my husband had met my family. He also asked about my pregnancy and why I wanted to go home to Norway to give birth. He then asked for our evidence of a bona fide marriage. I showed him our marriage license, our lease agreements going back 1.5 years, joint bank account statements, and a stack of photos (both from the wedding and from previously in our relationship). We did not have an album.
The IO asked about our I-864 and our joint sponsor (my father in law) and confirmed that the joint sponsor knew the responsibilities that came with being a joint sponsor. Then he went down the list that's usually filled out when entering the US - you know, "have you ever been arrested, have you ever been involved or affiliated with terrorist organizations," etc. After that he told me he would give me a 2-year gc, and went over a list of things I can and cannot do as a LPR. Then he told me since I'm pregnant and need to travel soon, he would give me a passport stamp too. The whole process took about 20 mins.  |

*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.
