We added some things to our timeline. It took Ania 64 days to be approved for her EAD and AP. She was given notice that her application was mailed to the California Service Center for a faster process. I read that's a pretty good thing.

Question? I read that it's pretty common for the California Service Center to simple mail the Green Card without an Interview. Is that true?

Congratulations :thumbs:

Yes, it's true most all of the time there will be no interview if you're transferred to CSC (there are rare occurrences where cases are transferred back to the local office, but rare)...

Check out this thread for more CSC transfer information.

But yes, usually a CSC transfer indicates an interview free approval. However, it isn't unheard of for USCIS to transfer you back to MSC and then onto your local office for interview, nor does it indicate that a quick approval is in the pipeline should you remain at CSC.

It can still take anywhere between 2 weeks after transfer to 2 years plus for a GC. Hopefully, you'll be at the shorter end of that spectrum! :D

Can I ask a few naive questions of you more experienced folks?

My fiance (and her 3-year old son) came into the USA on her K1 visa a month ago and we were married 2 weeks ago.

What exactly do I need to file now that we're married? Do I need to file an I-130 AND an I-485?

Also, how do we go about getting her a SS#?

Thank you VERY much for any help you can give us.
