I have another thread where I talked about our situation. Basically, we went to our interview and we were turned down.

I am looking to try and find out how long it takes the process to work. Right now we have 30 days to appeal. Does anyone know, if all appeals and whatnot fail, how long does the process take to work through? I'm wondering how much time we have until we are done. I'm very new at this.

If I am right, you are falling under one of the following categories, otherwise follow the steps below. As of March 18, 2009, the Processing Times for the Administrative Appeals Office is:

I-485

LIFE Act Adjustment Application

Current

I-485

Section 13 Adjustment Application

Current

"Current" means pending at the AAO for less than six months

For more info, follow the steps:

Were you outright denied, or were you issued 221g asking for more information?

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

If this is from the AOS interview were you given a second "Stokes" interview?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

Stokes interview is the second interview given for AOS if there was doubt in the first interview. They separate the couple and grill them!
