AOS approved without interview?

hmm I was thinking of the I-130 filled out by the US citizen and in this form you need to mail a bunch of proof of the bona fide marriage. like a joint bank account, joint car insurance card, lease with both names... etc

my impression was that a lot of k visas get excepted from the AOS interview (as long as everything on paper looks legit) because they've already been through an interview process in the home country (at the US consulate).

Exactly right. We K1s have already proven our relationships and been to an interview so that's why they transfer to CSC. We had a nice look application, but did not send any evidence of a bonafide marriage with the AOS application (other that the marriage certificate). We were transferred to CSC.

K1 visas are often approved without an interview because the couple has not been married long enough to provide much evidence. K3 visas go through the same interview, but have been married longer.

Anyway, congratulations to both approvals.

The USCIS knows they will get a second look at K-1 filers when conditions have to be removed. Those on a K-3 visa who are issued a ten year card after their second anniversary do not have to remove conditions, so I'm thinking they might be more likely to have an interview for AOS. They've already had to prove their relationship at the consulate, too, but the USCIS won't have another look at them for a long time. Do you think my reasoning is correct? I was just explaining tonight to my DIL what to expect for the rest of this process, and hope I'm not misinforming her. I'm thinking we might put some more proof of relationship in the packet than is asked for.

Congrats, si man!

I'm not the original poster, but my AOS package was transferred to the CSC (California Service Center), too. I simply made sure to enclose everything that was required, and I also enclosed two items: a copy of our car insurance, with both of our names on it; and a deposit slip from our bank account, also with both of our names on it. Perhaps these items (undeniable evidence of a marital relationship, to a reasonable person) are what prompted the transfer of the package to the CSC. We'll see if we can avoid an interview and simply receive our two-year green card.

Yes. Not uncommon at all to not have an interview when you are K1

Cool

We had our case transfered to CSC a few weeks ago.

We are K1's.

I hope we get to skip the interview.....
