That's a good list. It's good to be prepared If you'd like, you can click on my AOS guide. I enumerated all the steps I did from POE onwards. It's in my signature. Of course, I also just based it on the guides here on VJ, which is the best

Awesome blog and wonderful guide!!!

lol this is the AOS thread! You just wait until everyone's married! It will pick up

Meanwhile there's LOTS of information on AOS in the first post and throughout the first 3 pages here.

He was trying to hint to you that despite two months passing on this thread, it still hasn't been noticed that your thread title is backdated a year from when intended. I can't quite decide what is more humorous - that people have gotten this OCD about the process to create a thread for 6 months out, that in the quest to be so super organized that the thread title is backdated... or that all the thread followers either don't have the heart to mention it or have't noticed themselves

In short - your title says 2010 when I think you meant 2011

How funny, you really don't "get it" do you?

It's the correct name, this forum was started as an off-shoot of the December 2010 K1 forum. To segregate the information pertaining to the K1 petition from the AOS, we started a second forum. To indicate that it pertains to the community of December 2010 K1 filers that we have developed, it was named "2010 Decemberite K-1 AOSers". We wanted to stick together through the AOS process too so future dating didn't make sense. We all started in December 2010, but we will all AOS at different times due to the amount of time it takes at VSC versus CSC and the backlogs at some embassies.

Easy mistake to make though...no harm, no foul!

[LaL 418]

Aha, interesting, I had missed the significance if the "ites". Things 'round these parts are quite different now than when I filed. Good luck on your journeys!

That's great that you want to stick together but you will all file AOS at different times due to the reason you mentioned, plus some people will wait longer to entry the US or get married later or wait longer to file AOS. As the result, some people will be already done with AOS and will have GCs in hand while other will be just starting the process. It makes more sense to follow people that will file AOS in the same month as you so you can compare timelines and track each other's progress. But like I said, nothing wrong with sticking together even after K-1. Good luck to all!

Participation in this thread does not preclude us from also participating in other threads for people going through the AOS process at the same time. Participation in this thread will, however, allow those of us who go through the process later than others to benefit from their experiences and learn in a comfortable environment where they've already interacted with the other thread members over the course of this year. Trust me, we ask a lot of repetitive or kind of dumb questions. This thread at least lets us cheer each other on and learn from each other without judgement.

This thread may not be very active now, but trust me, it will be. Check out our k1 thread, it got so big VJ had to shut it down and make us start a part 2. We interact a lot, and segregating those interactions in our own format allows us to keep in touch more easily and follow each others journeys more easily.

[missicy 87]

Yeah, like I said, nothing wrong with that!

[Messybrownhair 251]

I think its great that you guys are sticking together throughout this process!! I think I've developed a bond with my fellow April filers as well

I meant 2010. But you're welcome to hang out. Thread was made for a group of us that have supported each other the whole way. We know each other based on when we all filed for K-1. Nice to meet you, too.

Those that have benefited from this "decemberite" group know who they are and will be here to gather info once we've all gone through POE.

Doesn't matter that we'll file at all different times. What matters is we know we can count on each other to get through it, because we've already supported each other through the last 7 - 10 months.
