No problem, how was the festival?

Is there a time difference for issuing a greencard between a K-1 & a CR-1? Also, I have read on here a few places but was a little confused about the whole AOS process; is it recommended that you file for AOS right after you marry or do some people wait?

The festival was really nice. I always wanted to see inside the temple. The kids looked so cute putting on their drama. There were over 108 vegetarian dishes so I was in heaven since I've gone vegan/vegetarian this year. It's done my body good; I've lose 18 lbs so far. Plus my Mom & my Husband were there at the festival and that made it a better time to experience all this with them.

There is no significant processing difference for those filing from K1, K3, CR-1, IR-1, DCF to AOS besides the processing at the local immigration site. For K1's it is advised to file AOS early since after the 90 day window expires they are considered out of status. Some say they stay out of status and have no problems and others say being out of a status was a problem for them. I think this depends on if they've filed for AOS or not. As long as they can show they have filed AOS while out of status they have less of a problem then those who haven't. K1's are also being transfered to the California Service Center right now without interviews and the conditional green card is issued for 2 years. That's nice for them. There are some that have been called for interviews though but it seems to be very few. Others that have passed the two years marriage requirement and are up for the 10 year non-conditional green card most often get an interview like in our case.
