I think every state is different on how they do their driving tests. When Ben went to take his, they sent all the paperwork off to check if he was eligible but they told him he couldn't get a license

It is really hard to predict who gets a greencard interview and who doesn't. It doesn't seem to depend on country. I have seen a lot of K-1 Canadians, Australians and British require interviews. Right now it seems like the people who get interviews are getting their green card faster on average, compared with those who are transferred to CSC. So it could be good to get an interview and get the green card faster.

I've heard it depends a lot on which state you're in too. I'm in Arizona and seems as if most applicants in Arizona get interviews. Maybe it's because the office here has the time and people to do it....or maybe because there's so many illegals in this state and they're trying to have more control here, lol, who knows.

Finally time for AOS.......

i think you have to wait to get the letter, the letter will say where it's been moved to. It will either be CSC or your local office

It could take a while if it got sent to CSC. Do you have your EAD?
