I heard back about 2 weeks after applying and was scheduled for a phone interview. After that went well, I got set up for an in-person interview. The questions they asked were a bit different than what I expected based on the job description and qualifications they were looking for. They really wanted to know if I had experience with other immigration work, like green card applications or processing immigration benefits, even though my application specifically mentioned working on N-400 applications. I felt I answered their questions well, but the office environment seemed unprofessional. The interviewers weren't dressed professionally, wearing jeans, and I was even interrupted during the interview. After the interview, I didn't hear back for a month. I called but got no response. Even with the immigration ban potentially causing delays, I waited patiently and then called the main interviewer who said she had no clue, which was frustrating. After three months, I finally got an email saying I wasn't selected to move forward in the hiring process.

Behavioral Presentation
After submitting my application, I received a call back for a phone interview. Following that, I visited the office for a full day of training. During the training session, we went over a PowerPoint presentation covering fundamental information about US immigration paperwork and processes (it's important to pay attention to this part!). I also met my supervisor and the rest of the team. After that, I had to wait for my background check to clear before I could start working.

It was a phone interview that lasted around 20 minutes. They asked basic questions about my background and availability and if I had any brief knowledge of immigration processes. It took about 2 months to even get this interview opportunity. Before the interview, they first checked my availability. After the interview, there was a background check process. So the total process took about 2 months and a half.
