I am familiar with this Sylmar due to one of my best friends living there. Her family is investing…read morein real estate bigly. Why?....because Sylmar is being gentrified at a fast rate and in that, there is money to be made. Luxury housing is juxtaposed from within a block or two of original dwellings of years ago. Median house prices are substantially lower than in Hidden Hills at this time. Some may be able to still eek out some coinage and drop it on a house in Sylmar, then you don't have to have a frickin landlord follow you around. You have a 1 in 52 chance of becoming a victim of crime, far lower than Eureka = 1 in 16 chance. Why does Sylmar have such a bad rap? Very likely because it doesn't have Nike store.

Once I arrived I was appalled by the amount of parking there is, usually one has to pay or park far but here parking is not an issue. The check in process was super straight forward fill out you're form get in line go thru security then check in. You will ride a bus about 5 min to the facility and as soon as you get off go inside the facility and hand over your form to the officer. From there it's just a wait till you hear your loved one's name and they'll tell you you're booth. Staff and officers were very nice and understanding something I would wish I'd see more in L.A. Dress code is not so strict from what I've seen but I still try to keep it toned down casual just in case! Sometimes there will be lockdowns and unfortunately that aren't the facility's fault. They go thru a thorough process and as soon as everything is green light then they will almost always let you in to see your loved one. If you need to use the restroom try using the ones passing security for a cleaner experience. Stay strong everyone God is good!

I just needed to hand over some papers and I asked them not to wait in line but just give them to me. They met me halfway and helped me. The girl at the reception spoke English and Russian, which is also nice and very useful, especially when some people don't know English, fortunately I speak it, thank you. Special thanks to the black woman at the reception, she is very positive, helpful and hardworking, she helped me solve my situation, she went to one place then to another and at the same time helped other people, great respect to such employees. Also, the medical worker who accepted the papers was brief and polite, asked all the questions to the point and explained everything simply and clearly. Thank you very much for your work, I really appreciate it.

Very disappointing experience.

I tried to explain the requirements and show the relevant information, but instead of taking the time to properly review my documents or verify the SSA's own guidance, she simply rejected them and sent me home. It is extremely frustrating when people come to a government office prepared with the documents they were instructed to bring, only to be turned away because an employee is not familiar with the agency's own requirements. If you claim to be an expert, you should at least be familiar with the policies published on your own agency's website.

You need to register in advance and show up early. I was there at least an hour early and that helped. There is free parking and I walked up to the line from there. When I arrived I had a hat, wallet, keys, phone, and a Bible I wanted to give away. An officer politely told me that you cannot bring any of that in. No keys, no phone, no Bible, nothing extra. You lock things up, then go through the line, and take a bus to the area where your visit will be. The officers I dealt with were kind and professional. They explained the rules and kept things moving. They say the visits are about 30 minutes, but I was given more time than that, which I appreciated. You do need to understand where you are and follow the rules. Within that reality, my experience with the staff was respectful. I do wish there was a way to bring in a Bible but I understand they have strict policies. so three and a half stars, which rounds up to 4 on here, based on how I was treated.

I still can't believe how amazing our experience was at my husband's green card interview. From…read moresecurity to our interviewer, everyone was genuinely kind, professional, and reassuring. Going into it, it's hard not to imagine every possible negative outcome. As someone with high anxiety, I was honestly terrified and couldn't stop thinking about worst-case scenarios. But the entire process was nothing but positive. Security was friendly, the check-in staff was welcoming, and they clearly explained that there could be a wait and asked us to be patient. While we waited (15 minutes), we scrolled on our phones and chatted to pass the time. When our number was finally called, I swear it took her saying it three times before it registered I was so nervous I basically blacked out. I had prepared a full binder of evidence, and we had also uploaded over 60 documents to our account ahead of time. In the end, our interview lasted no more than 15 minutes, and we were approved on the spot. My biggest advice: be over-prepared. Bring everything bank statements, insurance, photos, travel receipts, shared bills, and anything else that shows your life together. If your relationship is real, your evidence will speak for itself.

Officer Pearson was rude and tried to intimidate my wife. I am only leaving a negative review…read morebecause of officer Pearson otherwise the entire staff and our 2nd offer were awesome. Officer Pearson was trying to have us rescheduled for another day because he was not willing to repeat a question that my wife did not understand. After my wife asked him to rephrase the question and ask again he got up raised his voice and said "I don't have all day", "I am not here to teach you English" my wife speaks and understands English just fine if you speak normally without trying to intimidate her. I paid 3-4k only for the application fees to experience someone like officer Pearson. When we walked to his room he had whole bunch of files and folders on the floor and asked us to make a stop at the copier to hand him the documents so that he can copy. This increases the chances of losing original docs such as passports since there is no table to put your stuff down and organize. He was very rude from the beginning even when I asked him how was his morning going he did not answer nor he asked how are we doing. Officer Pearson just reminding you that our application fees and taxpayer dollars are paying your salary so actually you do have "all day" to be patient and interview us... On the other hand Marcy from reception was awesome and helped us to navigate after that horrible experience. The supervisor (don't remember her name) was awesome at her job to quickly problem solve and move things alone. Our second officer Campbell was incredibly amazing. She was very warm and understanding and conducted the interview at the most professional fashion. It is just heartbreaking to see that employees like Marcy and Officer Campbell are holding the USCIS experience to the highest American standards while employees like Pearson are ruining it.
