AOS Wait Time

[SaraDee 9]

Hi All,

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend, but what is the normal wait time for AOS from a K1 visa nowadays? It seems like it

is taking longer than before. Is that correct?

Thanks,

SaraDee

5 months. As you can see, it varies, and for no particular reason.

yup, it varies quite a bit. we were about 3 months.

it really depends on how long your biometrics takes, if you get an RFE etc. In my case it took over 5 months to get my EAD and 10 months total to get my green card. they kinda lost my file and never put me in the computer for a biometrics.

Also what type of visa is your friend adjusting from? that may factor in as well.

Filed 2/22 approved 4/18 from a K1. No RFE's. Like everyone else said....it depends on many factors and even a bit of luck.

5 months for us, and like everyone has said, it varies a lot and can depend on what local office you're dealing with. I know some people in Texas who waited a long time to get their biometrics appointment.

Hi all, thanks for the responses. Wow, it does seem as thought the wait times are varying significantly. My friend is adjusting from a k-1 and did his biometrics in Los Angeles. Mine took 3 months or so and that was a with an RFE that took me a month to get back to them. I just wanted to see how long should someone wait nowadays before getting concerned. I guess 5 months is pretty normal and shouldn't set off alarm bells. Thanks
