Well, my fiance mailed the I-129F petition on June 19, 2003 and it was approved December 30, 2003. I received my K-1 visa March 30th, and moved to Georgia May 8th, 2004. My husband and I were married June 19, 2004, filed the AOS, AP and EAD applications in Atlanta and they were received July 23th, 2004; I received my first AP 7 days later, had my first biometrics appointment August 23rd, received my first EAD August 30th, 2004, and then waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . On August 4, 2005 I applied for my second EAD and AP; got the first available biometrics appointment for October 9th. On September 20th, 2005 our AOS file was transferred to CSC and received October 1st. Then it was touched October 5th. I received my 2nd EAD October 17th and my 2nd AP October 30th, and then once again we waited and waited and waited . . . I got my third Biometrics appointment notice on December 19th for December 29th and requested a re-schedule due to being 1000 miles away over Christmas holidays and flights already booked; received a re-scheduled appointment on January 3 for February 8th when I was again fully re-fingerprinted and re-photographed. This time, however, my file was touched on the 9th and again on the 10th . . . do you think . . . maybe . . . could it be . . . I might actually be getting closer to receiving my AOS? Well, so much for waiting for our 2nd anniversary . . . I will be very happy when it is finally here!

Sorry to hear its taking so long.

I am prepared for this long wait. We are going thru Atlanta too. I figure it will be close to two years before we get out AOS interview.

Good luck to you :D

Richard, I bet your green card is valid from the date of the first touch (10 days before the approval date).
