We are just 6 months past the expiration of the I94 and we now want to apply for AOS. Finally got my tax return and will get the money order today.

Does anyone foresee any problems with the time frame.

I know we should have done this earlier but it has been an unusual slow time in my line of work and money has been tighter than usual.

Thanks for your replys!

Your partner came in on K1 right? Just go ahead and file... they'll tell you what they want, one way or another... problems shouldn't stop you from going ahead. Deal with them, if or when they arise. I'm no expert, but I don't think it will cause any undue problems, the entry was legal.

Yep a K1..... thanks for your reply!

Noted..... thanks!

don't leave the country until GC is in hand.
Also, if you travel anywhere within a 100-mile radius of either U.S. border (especially the southern), keep a photocopy of your AOS cover-letter (& the check for payment) with you at all times. Doing so could avoid your being detained by CBP at an inland checkpoint.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Thanks for the advice I will definitely do that. Especially here in San Diego since I live 25 minutes from the boarder.
