It'll be nice when we all can relax a little. I think it is gonna be a while though.

Well what's the averages for anything going wrong at the AOS stage? Or do I just have a false sense of security?

K1 129 days to approval

K1 179 days to interview

EAD 45 days to approval

AP 45 days to approval

AOS 69 days to approval

Biggest problems I see have to do with run-around with the medical/vaccination stuff, the occasional sponsor/co-sponsor issue, and the few folks with bad enough luck to require an interview. Just lots of paperwork... fun!

We should all get a certificate to hang on the wall when we finish the process. So and so and their spouse survived USCIS (twice or more times) and the State Department. Your ability to deal with bureaucracy is to be comended...

They still give the stamp. Sebastian got one too. The controversy is whether or not employers will take it seriously, since the new I-9 form (I think?) requires a work authorization card that has a photo ID on it. Or something like that.

To be honest, the whole thing confused us quite a bit and we just decided it'd be easier for him to not look for serious work until the actual EAD arrives.

Oh ok, that makes sense. What about if I want to open my own business ?
