AOS processing- what to expect?

[Kimbear 53]

Just as a side note, don't be afraid of an AOS interview. They are generally fairly routine and simple (with some exceptions of course) and processing can be a little faster when you have one. In a lot of cases, is seems to depend on how busy your local office is.

Waiting sucks, but if i could go back in time I would have enjoyed those few months with an excuse not to work...

IT also depends on if they forget to even put you into the appointment sytsem for your biometrics like they did with me. all of a sudden i get a notice saying aos is on hold since i have yet to do my bio, well DUH, i never got the appointment. They forgot to put me in the system for it. Needless to say we applied for it in May and i eventually got my bio for October and green card in January. No interview and my local office was in Chicago.

I'm kind of a upset that I could have applied for EAD and AP a long time ago, now I have to wait longer. But whatever, I should have looked into it a lot more.

So which office do I mail out the EAD and AP forms to?

Also, my k1 expired on March 10th. Can I still apply for EAD and AP?

Yes your K-1 has nothing to do with any of this. You just need your NOA1 from your AOS application. 1 copy for each form.

Awhhh! I see, Yeah I don't have my NOA1 from the AOS, I thought you meant the NOA1 from the the K1 application. I gotta wait now Dammit!

******Correction******

I do have the NOA1 from the AOS, yay! gonna apply soon this week.

Amen - I wish I had enjoyed the few months off too!

Def apply for EAD and AP. My AOS is taking longer than my K-1. Could take up to two years for GC.

[dukeandduchess 141]

If the GC approval takes more than 1 year do they give you the 10 year GC? I think I read this before but wondered if someone can clarify!

You get a 10 year card if you are approved after you have been married to your spouse for 2 years. That really rarely ever happens. I couldn't imagine waiting 2 years!
