Hi Everyone,

I came on K1 visa last year. My wife is the US petitioner and I am the beneficiary. We got married last year November, filed I-485 and I-765 a month later. I-765(EAD) was approved and got it a few months ago. We had our AOS interview April 22nd, 2010 at St Paul and everything went well. Our interviewer said usually K1 AOS are approved and she doesn't see any problem with our application. She did interview us separately though. It's been over a month since the interview and when I check our case status online, it shows that we are still in the initial step.

I have a couple of questions, I saw that the St Paul USCIS office takes about 6 months to process I-485 applications. Is it 6 months after the interview or is it 6 months from the day we file the I-485 application? My 2nd question - are there any forum members who had their AOS interview at St Paul, have your case been approved? how long did it take, what were your experiences?

Thanks,

Edge

I had my interview at St.Paul last September. The date of my NOA's was early July, so it was only 2.5 months from NAO1 to Interview/Approval.

Our interview was 10 minutes long, didn't really ask us any questions besides confirming stuff on the application. We showed him a photo album and then I got approved on the spot. Maybe someone else can come along that didn't?

I'm sure you'll hear something soon!

Good Luck! :thumbs:

Thanks Starburst

I wanted others input just to verify. Some people get approved on time, others take awhile. We have provided all information and done everything right so I was wondering. If anyone has any information that will be helpful, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I have a couple of questions and I was wondering if anyone could assist. I had my AOS interview about 2 months ago - June 19th will make it exactly 6 months since I filed my AOS. During my interview, the immigration officer interviewed me and my wife separately, I took all our documents with me - photos, lease, joint accounts etc but the officer said it was okay that she already had enough information. All the questions she asked me was exactly the same questions we asked my wife - she did not immediately tell me that my case was approved but she said that she does not see any problems and everything looks fine.

The status of my application is still under "Initial Review" - June 19th will make 6 months and it takes 6 months as the processing time when I checked the uscis website. I called the uscis customer support a couple of days ago and was told that I should wait until the June 19th, my case may be updated. My question is - what happens after the 6 months processing time has passed? Is there a review time?, I see others talking about contacting your congressman. How long should I wait after the 6 months processing time to follow up? Why is there a general delay?

Secondly, is it too early to book an INFO Pass appointment? What will the info-pass appointment achieve? I am sorry for asking all these questions, perhaps someone can assist.

Thank you
