What are you adjusting from? YOur local office is in NY, right? Those may be factors.

Some of the people in this thread(if not most) are adjusting from K1 visas so their cases(including mine) are a bit different than adjusting from work, tourist or or student visas. Even though it might not seem like it, you're still sure to have an interview when adjusting from those visas.

And remember, some online statuses simply stop updating.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

Click timeline or "about me" for all details.

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days

Yes, K1 has done alot of the paper work already to get into the country, they can get a conditional 2 yr GC without having an interview for example

While those of us doing it from other visa like visitors have to do it all from scratch and WILL have an interview without question.

B1/2 overstay

i-130/i-485 mailed 12/05/2011

Biometrics- 01/03/2012 (rec letter dec 18th)

Some K1 ers aren't aware that they can surpass interviews. I've been previously challenged on that point! good.gif
