Today I took the courage to share about our experience We got an interview conducted by a short African lady with short hair. She was very rude and aggressive Just because she is African doesn’t mean that she has the right to treat other African female like trash. She is very aggressive toward other African female. She didn’t talk to my husband like that but was very threatening towards me I took the courage to speak up because I read on Reddit and elsewhere that others have shared my experience with the same lady. We are doing things the right way Immigrating the right and legal way Many cases that have gone through her have been left unanswered and unprocessed Please USCIS officials should look into it There are many people that have complained about her and have gotten responses. It’s been months!! We are fine with scrutiny but hers feel personal and vindictive. Any official reading this please take action If anyone has gone through the same experience please leave a review so they can hear our plea and do their own investigation
Today was a very disappointing morning. My father and I had went, we had an appointment at 9:45am on Tuesday, January 20 2026. When we got there, everything went smoothly. but once we were waiting for our number that’s when things changed. The monitor had called our number once and we didn’t see so the lady in section three started yelling our number to the point where she made a jester and shaking her head saying “ I was calling your number out because the monitor kept calling you guys and didn’t respond” unprofessionally. My father was very apologetic and she continued to have an attitude. My father said since she was such in a rush because of the incident that happened, she didn’t want to hear him out. She kept brushing him off like she was in a hurry, even though we were early to our appointment. She was not helpful at all and when it’s situations like this, I feel like people should be more respectful and actually hear the person out because we had to take time from our jobs and if it was that case, they could’ve just emailed us what she told us or even call us, but that was very unnecessary.And we have an emergency going on, but she didn’t want to hear a word. Based on her hand gestures you could tell she had an attitude. People like her built up resentment due to little stuff like that maybe we didn’t hear the number the first time and now she feels the need to act a certain way because she made it into a personal problem and has no intentions to help the person out and that to me is unacceptable! And it’s very unfortunate that they only allow one person at a time because I would’ve got her name!
Officer Galvan and USCIS Baltimore. My interview experience at the Baltimore Field Office left me with a deep sense of injustice and emotional distress. The interview was conducted by Officer Galvan, whose approach and line of questioning felt unnecessarily aggressive, disproportionate, and detached from the actual purpose of the immigration process. During the interview, I was asked a number of questions that appeared irrelevant and excessive, including detailed inquiries about my spouse’s personal contact information (such as my phone number and Gmail address), as well as questions about the physical location of a university campus my spouse attended nearly 15 years ago. These questions did not seem connected to any reasonable assessment of eligibility and instead created the impression of suspicion rather than objective evaluation. What made this experience especially troubling was the imbalance of power. When an officer holds significant authority over someone’s future, that authority comes with a heightened responsibility to act with fairness, neutrality, and basic human dignity. Unfortunately, that standard was not met in my case. I left the interview feeling not evaluated, but judged. It is also impossible to ignore the broader political and social climate in which this interview took place. During certain periods, public rhetoric and policy have created an environment where immigrants can be viewed with suspicion or hostility. When leadership promotes division, it can quietly influence how authority is exercised at lower levels. Political administrations change, and no period of power is permanent. What remains constant is accountability — to history, to society, and for those who believe, to a higher moral judgment. I truly believe that injustice does not disappear simply because it is carried out under official authority. Whether one believes in God, in human conscience, or in the judgment of time, wrongdoing is eventually confronted. I often ask myself how someone can act with such unfairness toward another human being and still expect to live peacefully with their own conscience, their family, and their children. Does one truly believe that happiness can be built on the weight of injustice placed upon others? These are questions that remain long after the interview ends. I will never forget how I was treated, and I will always remember this experience with deep sorrow and moral pain. I believe that the discrimination and unfairness experienced by immigrants today will not last forever, and that a day will come when those who participated in such treatment will be forced to reflect on how they chose to act when they were given power over others’ lives. I say this rhetorically: I hope Officer Galvan and her family live happily and peacefully. if something happen and if at any point she reflects on her actions, I hope she remembers whom she treated unfairly and considers the human impact of those decisions. Justice may be delayed, but it is never erased. I strongly urge USCIS to review the conduct of officer GALVAN at this location and ensure that interviews are conducted with fairness, dignity, and good faith.To be honest I do not believe they will take an action but I believe American justice system and Judgement day. May God bless America and I will always love US.
As a US citizen, coming here to celebrate my mother-in-law getting her citizenship was quite a less than pleasant experience. Not only were they hanging a ripped American flag out front of this federal building, but they completely skipped over the video of the president speaking welcoming all new US citizens to being a part of America. I came to a ceremony for my partner previously, and they did play the video of President Biden, but surprisingly the video of President Trump was not played.
Plenty of free parking. Easy to get in and out of. Very professional security as you enter. Well organized and clean facility. Waited about an hour after our appointment, but they were busy. Waiting area was about 3/4 full. Overall it was a good experience.
