[DC85 113]

I want to know if any body has filed AOS in the past three months , and he/she follows Washington, Dc- fairfax field office

I want to know how busy is this office during this year time?

AOS is processed at the national benefits center in Missouri.

The only time the AOS petition goes to the local office is when it is ready to be interviewed.

Question: What determines when AOS is ready for the interview stage? Ans: all required forms & supporting docs have been properly filled & submitted

Question: Who determines when AOS is ready for the interview stage? Ans: THE NBC

after which

Question: Who schedules the AOS interview Ans: The local office field office

Question: What determines when AOS interview will be scheduled. Ans: availability of appointment slots in the local field office (AKA busy or not)

So myafi1985's got a legitimate question.

ofcourse, the AOS file is transferred from the NBC to your local office at some point before your interview date

Thank you so much for your detailed answer, I am aware of the process, and I was asking if anybody had got his interview letter from DC office, so I can estimate when I will receive mine

I never said it wasn't a legitimate question. I gave information because the question wording seemed that the OP was expecting their petition to be processed at the local office.

AOS process takes longer than 3 months.

I know that's info you are seeking... The link below should be of help but People rather update their signature than the actual VJ timeline, so the data in the link might not be up to date

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aoslist.php?cfl=0&op1=2&op2=d&op3=&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,9,10,11&op6=&op8=Washington%20DC&xfr=&vtype=0

I already sorted it to only DC filers by recent dates too. So, you can click on some member profile & message a couple of the recent DC filers to ask if they got any interview notice yet

Guess, It doesnt really help too that there's only one local field office in DC. Some states have up to five.

Never mind, maybe I had to explain more about what I meant

You're welcome! Your signature timeline is impressive & gives as much info... But about time, you fill in your 'real' timeline too, It all adds up. Someone might find it useful as well...

We filed our AOS in November and we are still waiting on a decision. Our field office is DC. Our case was transferred to CA for quicker processing (We don't know why it's called quicker processing when it's taking longer than 180 days) . When we called NBC, we were told that our case was within normal processing time therefore we could not get a service request. We had to speak to a supervisor to find out what was normal processing time. We were told that our field office was procesing cases for August. We asked what our field office has to do with the processing since the case was sent to CA and were told that the case goes to CA for part of the processing and then is transferred to DC for the final processing. The supervisor transferred the call to someone else who said that we should call back in 3 months because the case was in normal processing time. From looking at the timeline for DC processing, it appears cases were being processed within 180 days up until about sometime in August '11. The question is what happened around that time to have them slow down to almost a hault? At this point, it's looking like it's taking DC longer than 7 months to make a decision. The only hope seems to be getting an interview appointment (at least from the look of it) you'll get a decision, for the most part, right away. Conclusion, the whole immigration process, is about waiting, waiting, waiting,and more waiting . Meanwhile, life goes on with uncertainty because one doesn't know if he/she will be allowed to stay or have to go back to his/her country smh

you are right , I noticed that most of the K1- AOS take long time to be processed, and I think when they transfer your case to CSC , they won't interview you. in my case, my interview will be in 10 days
