AOS

[adamsluv 1]

I am a K1 waiting for my green card after filing for AOS, I filled for my AOS 4 years after coming to the state. I married within the 90 days and I also have a 3 year old son. I received NOA1 and the biometric appointment letter, and today another Notice of action came home. It says they transferred my case to California to speed up the processes and they will let me know of their decision. Just curious do you think my not filling for AOS on time could be a problem? I was actually hoping to get a letter for interview.

You may wish to ask to have this shifted to the AOS forum, the Canadian forum can't really offer any specifically helpful advice.

There isn't exactly a set time to file for AOS, although you have waited quite a while, people have their reasons. You honoured your K1 by marrying within the 90 days and obviously your application for AOS is well on its way to being processed as you aahve NOAs and a biometrics appt. If you provided good evidence and filled out the form properly there is no reason to think your processing won't go as expected. Whether you'll have an interview or not is entirely up to USCIS.

Transferring to the CSC used to mean that there would be no interview. However, it has been so long since I have gone through that process that I don't know if that's true anymore. I am going to move your thread from the Canada forum to the AOS forum.

It's still true for the vast majority, it seems.

Though these days, it's better to have an interview at your local office, as California is horrendously slow for some people.

I'm kinda wondering why this is in the UK forum since you don't list UK as your home country.

But...many K1s don't interview for AOS. When we used to keep a UK AOS thread going with a spreadsheet, around half got transferred to CSC for processing. We did. They approve the application and mail the greencard. Now if they find a problem at CSC, they can still send an RFE...like for a new full medical exam since your K1 visa exam expired after 12 months. Hopefully you got a new one from a Civil Surgeon. If something is really wrong, CSC could decide your local office needs to interview you and send the file there.

Don't be confused by a second letter that may follow shortly saying your case is processing at a USCIS office. Your first letter says "we sent it" and a second letter says "we got it and it's processing" (at CSC which is a USCIS office.)
